Insulin Sensitivity

Berberine

A clinically studied plant alkaloid known to enhance insulin sensitivity and support glucose metabolism.

What Is Berberine?

Berberine is a bioactive plant alkaloid extracted from several plants, including barberry, goldenseal and Oregon grape.

Its Role In The GL-Defend Formula

It's considered the anchor ingredient in GL-Defend's insulin sensitivity layer, working alongside Chromium.

What The Research Says

Berberine is one of the more clinically studied natural compounds for glucose metabolism, with research examining its relationship to insulin sensitivity and A1c levels.

Worth knowing: It's often compared favorably to other natural glucose-support ingredients in research, part of why it's a common anchor in blood sugar formulas.

This describes general research on Berberine itself, not the finished GL-Defend product, which hasn't been the subject of its own clinical trial. See the full ingredients list or the formula overview for more.
