What makes berberine such a potent antioxidant?
Berberine has been shown to flip AMPK – your metabolic “master switch”– into action, turning on thermogenesis to encourage the body to burn more fat and help block the formation and growth of new fat cells** In other clinical trials, berberine was shown to decrease body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference significantly.*
By boosting AMPK activity with berberine, you can get your weight under control, reduce dangerous midsection fat, and combat harmful inflammation, giving your lipid and blood sugar levels a chance to stabilize. In fact, a widely prescribed medication for regulating blood sugar works by activating AMPK.
What specific health risk factors can berberine help improve?

When is it best to take Berberine?
Since it is fat soluble, it is best to take Berberine with food that contains healthy fats.
