What it is

Berberine is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the roots and bark of several plants, including Berberis, goldenseal, and Oregon grape. It is one of the most extensively researched botanical compounds in metabolic medicine.

What it does

Berberine activates AMPK — a master metabolic enzyme sometimes called a "metabolic master switch." AMPK activation promotes glucose uptake into cells, reduces hepatic glucose production, and supports lipid metabolism.

What it is

Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique among antioxidants in being both water-soluble and fat-soluble — meaning it can neutralize free radicals in essentially every compartment of the cell.

What it does

ALA functions as a cofactor for mitochondrial energy enzymes and supports healthy cellular glucose uptake through insulin-signaling pathways. It also regenerates other antioxidants including vitamins C and E.

What it is

Bergamot is a citrus fruit grown primarily in southern Italy. Its extract contains unique polyphenols — including brutieridin and melitidin — not found in other citrus fruits.

What it does

Bergamot polyphenols support healthy lipid metabolism and glucose regulation. Clinical research has shown benefits for both cholesterol profiles and fasting glucose levels.

What it is

EGCG is the most abundant and bioactive polyphenol in green tea. It has been studied extensively for its effects on metabolic health and glucose regulation.

What it does

EGCG activates AMPK, supports healthy glucose uptake, and has antioxidant properties that protect pancreatic beta cells from oxidative stress.

What it is

Fenugreek is an herb whose seeds have been used traditionally for metabolic support. Modern research has identified saponins and soluble fiber as the active components.

What it does

Fenugreek supports healthy glucose metabolism through multiple mechanisms — slowing carbohydrate absorption, supporting insulin secretion, and improving glucose uptake in peripheral tissues.

What it is

American Ginseng is distinct from Asian ginseng, with a different ginsenoside profile. It has been studied specifically for its effects on post-meal glucose response.

What it does

American Ginseng has been shown in clinical trials to reduce post-prandial glucose spikes when taken before meals. It supports healthy glucose metabolism without stimulant effects.

What it is

Myo-Inositol is a carbocyclic sugar involved in insulin signal transduction. It is a key component of the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway.

What it does

Myo-Inositol acts as a second messenger in insulin signaling, supporting the cellular response to insulin. It has been studied for improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

What it is

Oleuropein is the primary bioactive polyphenol in olive leaves. It is associated with the metabolic benefits observed in Mediterranean diet research.

What it does

Oleuropein supports healthy glucose metabolism, protects pancreatic beta cells from oxidative stress, and has been shown to support healthy post-meal glucose response.

What it is

Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. It is involved in numerous metabolic processes throughout the body.

What it does

Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection for metabolically active tissues and supports healthy glucose metabolism. Research has shown associations between vitamin C status and glucose regulation.

What it is

Vitamin D3 functions more like a hormone than a vitamin, influencing gene expression across hundreds of genes. Deficiency is widespread and associated with metabolic dysfunction.

What it does

Vitamin D3 supports insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. Adequate vitamin D status is associated with healthier glucose metabolism.

What it is

GABA is primarily known as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, but it also plays important roles in pancreatic function. GABA receptors are present on pancreatic islet cells.

What it does

GABA supports pancreatic beta cell function and has been shown to promote beta cell regeneration in research settings. It also supports the stress-glucose connection through its calming effects.

What it is

DHA is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that supports cellular membrane function and inflammatory balance throughout the body.

What it does

DHA supports insulin receptor sensitivity by maintaining healthy cell membrane fluidity. It also reduces inflammatory signaling that can impair glucose metabolism.

What it is

EPA is an omega-3 fatty acid with potent anti-inflammatory properties that support metabolic health.

What it does

EPA reduces inflammatory signaling that can impair insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. It supports healthy metabolic function through inflammation modulation.
