Berberine Phytosome from Enzymedica is for metabolic support. The human body has difficulty absorbing berberine to unlock its true benefits. The Berbevis phytosome in the formula solves this problem, boosting bioavailability 9.6x compared to standard raw extracts. This unlocks greater potency at a lower dose, allowing for a small, easy-to-swallow capsule. Ours is a high-quality, standardized extract sustainably sourced from Barberry, with no artificial fillers or excipients. We use Berberis aristata in our Berberine Phytosome, standardized to contain 28% to 34% berberine. Berberine is a bitter compound called an alkaloid. Alkaloids help plants protect themselves against predators and regulate their growth. They also offer benefits for the overall health of humans.* You can find Berberine in plants like Goldenseal, Barberry, Oregon Grape and Goldthread. These plants have a long history of use in supporting health. Unfortunately, Goldenseal is an “at risk” plant due to overharvesting in the wild and its use is strongly discouraged by plant conservationists. Enzymedica’s Berberine Phytosome is sustainably sourced from barberry plants, which grow abundantly, and are naturally sustainable and rich in valuable phytochemicals.
