Fitoberberina is a food supplement based on Berbevis®, an extract of phytosome berberine with optimized absorption, and chromium. Berbevis is a new food ingredient based on a Berberis aristata root extract standardized in berberine, with a version of Phytosome Technology, specific for berberine, which allows up to 10 times greater absorption than the same extract without this technology. It is possible to improve and optimize 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, which means low tolerability and possible gastrointestinal undesirable effects. Berbevis is a new food ingredient based on a berberine standardized Berberis aristata root extract, with a customized 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 adverse gastrointestinal effects of traditional berberine, optimizing its tolerability. What is special about FitoBerberina? - The complete extract of the rhizome 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 absorbed form of chromium. - Chromium contributes to maintaining normal blood glucose levels. How to use 1 capsule a day, with the main meal, or as recommended by an expert.
