Berberine Balance contains berberine, combined with alpha-lipoic acid and grape seed extract, to promote healthy blood sugar levels and cardiovascular support. Recent studies demonstrate that berberine, a naturally occurring alkaloid found in many plants, is an effective supplement to help maintain cardiometabolic health. Berberine has been shown to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism in vitro and in vivo, thereby promoting healthy blood sugar levels and lipid stores. Experiments have also proven the cardiovascular benefits of berberine, including vasodilatory effects.
Grape seed extract and alpha-lipoic acid are well-known antioxidants. The proanthocyanidins found in grape seeds appear to be particularly effective at neutralizing highly reactive hydroxyl and singlet oxygen radicals, while alpha-lipoic acid is nicknamed the "universal antioxidant" due to its involvement in numerous antioxidant functions throughout the body.
