Berberine Complex by German Elite Nutrition combines 500 mg of berberine HCl per serving with five plant extracts and the trace element chromium. One bottle contains 120 vegan capsules, providing 30 servings. Because the capsule is plant-based, the formula also appeals to people who prefer to avoid animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat berberine is and where it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a yellow-colored alkaloid, a plant substance that occurs naturally in the root and bark of various plants. This bright yellow color is characteristic of the substance and can be seen in the capsule contents. In this supplement, it comes from the root of Chinese goldthread (Coptis chinensis). The extract is standardized to 98% berberine HCl, which means that almost the entire raw material consists of berberine HCl. Thanks to this standardization, you get the same amount in every serving, rather than a varying content. We deliberately do not attribute any health effects to it, because there is currently no authorized European health claim for berberine. What we do: explain what it is and where it comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe five plant extracts surrounding berberine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the formula contains extracts of banaba, bitter melon, olive leaf, cinnamon, and black pepper. Banaba comes from the Lagerstroemia speciosa plant, bitter melon is the fruit you encounter in Asian cuisine, and olive leaf is exactly what the name says. Most people know cinnamon as a kitchen spice, but here it is included in the formula as a concentrated extract. Together, they form the plant-based foundation of this berberine formula. We also describe these extracts without health claims, for the same reason as with berberine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is the only ingredient in this formula for which European legislation does allow health claims. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels and chromium contributes to a normal metabolism of macronutrients, in other words, the way your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Each serving of 2 capsules provides 80 micrograms of chromium in the form of chromium picolinate, which amounts to 200% of the reference intake. Chromium is therefore the component to which we can link a concrete function, while the rest of the formula forms the plant-based foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComposition and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA serving of 2 capsules contains 500 mg of berberine HCl. Follow the recommended use on the label and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The capsule itself is plant-based (HPMC), so the whole product is suitable for vegans, and no gluten, lactose, or unnecessary additives are used. This way, you get a clear berberine formula in which you can see exactly what is in it and in what quantities. One bottle lasts approximately one month with two servings per day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43760539140316,"sku":"gen-047","price":30.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gen-berberine-98-hcl-complex-1.jpg?v=1793634786","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/berberine-98-hcl-complex","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
