Now Berberine Glucose Support Review

NOW Foods Berberine Glucose Support Softgels are formulated to support glucose metabolism and maintain glucose and lipid levels that are already within the normal range. Berberine is a natural constituent found in traditional herbs such as goldenseal, Oregon grape, and barberry. Clinical studies have demonstrated that berberine helps to support already normal glucose and lipid metabolism in the body. Because berberine is widely known for its limited bioavailability, this specific formula is combined with MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) and specifically includes capric acid (C10, a medium-chain triglyceride) to promote optimal berberine absorption and ensure the maintenance of gastrointestinal comfort during berberine supplementation. Each 1 softgel serving provides 5 calories, 0.5 g of total fat, 0.5 g of saturated fat, 400 mg of Berberine HCl derived from Berberis aristata bark, 700 mg of MCT Oil, and 238 mg of Capric Acid (C10) from MCT Oil. Other ingredients include the softgel capsule composed of BSE-free bovine gelatin, glycerin, water, and caramel color, along with beeswax and sunflower lecithin. The product is brown in color, though natural color variation may occur. For suggested usage, adults are directed to take 1 softgel 3 times daily with food and store the bottle in a cool, dry place after opening. Regarding cautions, this supplement is for adults only and should not be used by individuals who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. The product may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort, and individuals taking medications, especially anti-meds, or those who have a medical condition should consult a physician prior to use and keep the bottle out of reach of children. The supplement is certified Halal, carries Intertek GMP Supplement Certification, and is made without dairy, eggs, gluten, soy, yeast, wheat, milk, fish, shellfish, or sesame ingredients in a GMP facility.
