There are factors that can be measured in your blood associated with an increased risk of heart disease. šæ Berberine has been shown to improve many of these factors. ā
According to a review of 16 studies, it could help; ā¢ decrease total cholesterol ā¢ decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol ā¢ decrease blood triglycerides ā¢ increase HDL (good) cholesterol ā¢ It has also been shown to lower apolipoprotein B by 13ā15% in some older studies, which is an important risk factor for heart disease. According to some research, berberine works by inhibiting an enzyme called PCSK9. This leads to more LDL cholesterol being removed from your bloodstream. Diabetes, high blood sugar levels, and obesity are also major risk factors for heart disease, and this supplement seems to help improve all of these conditions. Given the beneficial effects on all these risk factors, it seems likely that berberine could reduce the risk of heart disease, though more research is needed. ā
Berberine may also be effective as a weight loss supplement. In one older 12-week study in people with obesity, taking 500 milligrams (mg) of berberine three times per day caused about 5 pounds of weight loss, on average. The participants also lost 3.6% of their body fat. Additionally, a review of 12 studies found that supplementing with berberine led to significant reductions in body weight, body mass index, and belly fat. It also decreased levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation. Berberine also appears to inhibit the growth of fat cells at the molecular level, which could help promote weight loss. āļø LINKED IN PROFILE UP TOP š Berberine ACV is a proprietary plant-based blend to assist with natural energy, healthy weight management, reducing inflammation, stabilizing blood glucose levels, eliminating cravings, boosting metabolism, improving gut health, and more!
