The product is listed under Cardiovascular Health, Endocrine Health, and Top Practitioner's Pick categories. Clinical applications named on the page include multidimensional support for cardiometabolic health, enhancing cell signaling for efficient ATP production, supporting blood sugar balance already within normal levels, and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. The page describes the formula as backed by extensive clinical research and designed to address several factors associated with ideal cardiometabolic health. The powerful combination of berberine and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is said to help maintain heart function, metabolism, antioxidant status, and lipid and glucose levels. Berberine is described as a plant extract used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for over 2,500 years, found in roots and stems of goldenseal, goldenthread, Oregon grape, and barberry. The page states that clinical trials have shown berberine supports cardiovascular health by maintaining blood pressure, supporting healthy heart contraction and rhythm, and supporting healthy cholesterol levels. Alpha lipoic acid is described as a nutrient required for cellular metabolism, involved in breaking down carbohydrates and fatty acids, that supports blood sugar balance already within normal levels by activating AMPK, and that acts as an antioxidant while aiding regeneration of vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione. Suggested use is 3 capsules per day or as recommended by a health care professional. The package is listed as 90 count.
