Potent ‘SHRUB’ lowers high blood sugar 20%?!
Spring has sprung!
And while I don’t call myself a green thumb by any stretch of the imagination… I sure do love the colors of the flowers, plants, and shrubs this time of year.
And while spring “greenery” is certainly nice to look at… it can also be healing for your BODY…
Including if you have high blood sugar or type 2 diabetes!
In fact, there’s a potent “shrub” that possesses some serious, anti-diabetes properties.
But you don’t have to be an expert gardener to take advantage!
It’s called berberine… and Big Pharma hopes you never get your hands on it!
Berberine is part of a family called alkaloids – compounds that can be extracted from a variety of plants, including a group of shrubs called Berberis.
Berberine has been used for centuries to treat a number of ailments, including high cholesterol and heart disease.
But it’s berberine’s ability to naturally lower blood sugar is what is truly impressive.
In fact, several studies have found that taking berberine daily can LOWER blood sugar levels by up to 20%.
And, over a dozen studies have found that berberine can be JUST AS EFFECTIVE as some of the most popular blood sugar medications out there!
How does it work, exactly?
Berberine activates an enzyme inside your cells called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This enzyme is sometimes referred to as a “metabolic master switch.”
AMPK plays a major role in regulating metabolism, which can be difficult if you have high blood sugar or diabetes.
But let’s face it… despite naturally regulating metabolism and blood sugar levels, chances are you won’t hear any mainstream doctor recommend berberine!
But luckily for you, getting your hands on berberine is quite easy.
Berberine supplements can be found at reputable, online retailers for around $15 per bottle. With any supplement, stick to the recommended dosage on the product label.
