Berberine 500 mg - 60 capsules

Berberine is the active ingredient in the herb Goldenseal and Coptis. Research shows that Berberine has many neurologic, immunologic, and metabolic effects. Berberine works on the cardiovascular and digestive systems as well. It also acts as a direct anti-inflammatory and immune regulator and combats obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes by modulating the body's ability to use and create energy. Berberine also has direct antiviral, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.

What does it do?

As an antiviral, Berberine targets different steps in the viral life cycle and is thus a good candidate for use in novel antiviral drugs and therapies. It has been shown that Berberine reduces virus replication and targets specific interactions between the virus and its host. It inhibits the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This alkaloid can regulate the MEK-ERK, AMPK/mTOR, and NF-κB signaling pathways necessary for viral replication. The antiviral activity of BBR against herpes viruses, influenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial viruses has been scientifically documented. Lastly, it has been reported that Berberine supports the host immune response, thus leading to viral clearance.
