Fitoberberine is a dietary supplement based on Berbevis®, a phytosomal berberine extract with optimized absorption, and chromium. Berbevis is a novel dietary ingredient based on a Berberis aristata root extract standardized for berberine, with a version of Phytosome Technology specifically for berberine, allowing up to 10 times greater absorption than the same extract without this technology. This improves and optimizes the bioaccessibility, bioabsorption, and tolerability of berberine. Berbevis is currently supported by an in vitro study, a human pharmacokinetic study, and a clinical study. Berberine is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from the isoquinoline alkaloid, highly concentrated in the roots, rhizomes, and stem bark of Berberis species. Pure berberine has poor bioavailability, like many natural compounds. For this reason, high doses of berberine are traditionally recommended, resulting in poor tolerability and possible gastrointestinal side effects. Berbevis is a novel food ingredient based on a Berberis aristata root extract standardized to berberine, with a custom formulation specifically designed according to the properties of berberine, with 3 innovative features: - Pea proteins used as a vehicle within the phytosome matrix; - The use of crude extract of Berberis aristata, more soluble than pure berberine. - Grape seed extract is the third term in the equation, as a powerful natural antioxidant that protects the intestinal mucosa from the known gastrointestinal adverse effects of traditional berberine, optimizing its tolerability. What is special about FitoBerberine? - The complete rhizome extract of Berberis aristata is used because it improves the solubility of berberine. - Berberine with optimized bioaccessibility, bioabsorption and tolerability, without gastrointestinal adverse effects. - It is well tolerated and safe, even for prolonged use. - Contains chromium-enriched yeast (NutraFeast®), a highly absorbable form of chromium. - Chromium contributes to maintaining normal blood glucose levels. Instructions for use 1 capsule daily, with the main meal, or as recommended by a healthcare professional.
