Berberis Aristata extract (Berbevis®)

Berberis aristata, also known as Indian barberry, is a shrub native to the foothills of the Himalayas and the mountainous regions of India and Nepal. Its root has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine. The standardised Berbevis® extract is titrated in berberine, a plant alkaloid recognised for its documented biological properties. Berberine contributes to maintaining normal blood glucose levels and plays a role in lipid metabolism by helping to support balanced blood cholesterol levels. It acts notably by activating the AMPK enzyme, which is involved in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. Studies also suggest that it contributes to intestinal microbiota balance and exerts antioxidant properties. Supplementing with Berberis aristata root extract provides concentrated, standardised berberine intakes that are difficult to achieve through diet alone. The Berbevis® format guarantees high bioavailability and a precise active ingredient content, making it a particularly well-suited form for targeted supplementation.
