Berberine 500mg

Blood sugar and metabolic support.. The database missed the mark on this one. You are getting a full clinical dose of the bioavailable phytosome form plus a solid hit of standard HCl. This actually works for those who find basic berberine too weak.

9.6/10
EXCEPTIONAL

A powerhouse metabolic formula that combines standard berberine with a high-absorption phytosome for maximum effect.
