A plant alkaloid studied for its relationship to insulin sensitivity and how the body metabolizes glucose.
Berberine is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid found in barberry, goldenseal, Oregon grape and several related plants.
It's a central ingredient in GL-Defend's insulin-response layer, working alongside Chromium.
Berberine is among the more clinically studied natural compounds for glucose metabolism, with research examining its relationship to insulin sensitivity and healthy A1c levels.
This describes general research on Berberine itself, not the finished GL-Defend product, which hasn't been the subject of its own clinical trial. See the full ingredients list or the formula overview for more.
