Naughty Boy Gluco-B
Berberine is fantastic, it is one of the most known yet still under appreciated alkaloids found in nature BUT in typical NaughtyBoy fashion we have brought you a new version, a version of berberine that has higher bioavailability and causes lower gastric distress called Dihydroberberine (under the name Glucovantage).
Animal research indicated Glucovantage was 5x more bioavailable than normal berberine but then in Human studies 200mg of Glucovantage raised berberine levels 22x more than 500mg of berberine alone. So enough of us blowing Glucovantages trumpet, what does it do and why should you care? Its been shown to do SO much!
If you have come across berberine in a formula before it is usually a Glucose Disposal Agent (GDA). Berberine activates something called AMPK. AMPK is a master metabolic switch.
