Berberine Extract Powder
Berberine is a bioactive alkaloid naturally occurring in several plants, most notably Goldenseal, Barberry, and Oregon Grape. It has gained significant attention for its ability to support metabolic health and manage blood sugar levels through the activation of the AMPK (Adenosine Monophosphate-activated Protein Kinase) enzyme, often referred to as the body's "metabolic master switch."
