BerbElite® - 120 Caps

BerbElite® is a bioavailable berberine supplement produced by Mara Labs that contains berberine, a beneficial plant-based molecule, and our proprietary Broccoli Seed Complex, which markedly increases the bioavailability of berberine.

Berberine is a compound found in various plant species and has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and Chinese traditional medicine to treat illness and inflammatory conditions. The bioavailable berberine in BerbElite® helps to lower blood sugar, improve sleep, reduce excess “bad” cholesterol while promoting “good” cholesterol, and boosts the production of “feel-good” chemicals in the brain, such as oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. Additionally, berberine can improve cellular turnover, liver, and cardiovascular function. Finally, berberine exhibits neuroprotective properties to help maintain normal brain function.

Typical berberine supplements can be absorbed at a rate of about 0.7%, which is not enough to immediately lower blood sugar, even at a daily recommended dose (500mg-1,500mg). In other words, even if you took a recommended dose per day (like 1,500 mg), you would only absorb less than 1% (15mg) of the berberine in the capsule. Because of this, many berberine supplements cannot provide the dosage level needed to lower blood glucose or cholesterol.

The addition of our Broccoli Seed Complex makes our BerbElite® more bioavailable than the typical berberine supplement. Because our berberine gets into the cell, BerbElite® lowers blood glucose levels approximately ten points in just a few hours. (A blood ketone level of 0.5 mmol/L and a glucose of 82 mg/dL can be achieved in three hours with two BerbElite® capsules).

Once BerbElite® crosses the gut barrier and gets into the bloodstream, it acts to perform a variety of functions.

Primarily, BerbElite® has a potent impact on lowering blood sugar, even with the first dose. It promotes the production of insulin, which delivers glucose to the cells that need it most, where it is used as energy. Berberine also positively impacts insulin resistance and has been shown in many clinical studies to have a lasting impact on lowering blood glucose.

In addition, BerbElite® promotes the action of cell receptors that eliminate “bad” low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. Many studies on berberine demonstrate this ability and have observed that it does not impact activity of “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

BerbElite® also helps increase the amount of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin in the brain by increasing the number of receptors available. Our formula can cross the blood-brain barrier to have a direct impact on these functions.

Supplements work differently for everyone depending on body chemistry. However, the most common sign that BerbElite® is working is improved energy and sleep quality. If you routinely monitor your blood sugar, you may also notice a decrease in blood sugar after taking BerbElite®. Working together with your physician to monitor blood sample changes based on your supplement use and lifestyle change can help guide you to additional goals and give you direction for improving your health.

BerbElite® is an all-natural product and does not contain any fillers, binders, preservatives or lubricants. The first ingredient is Berberine HCL, which is pure berberine extract activated by hydrochloride. The second ingredient is our proprietary Broccoli Seed Complex, which contains Stabilized Sulforaphane as well as its “cousin” molecules, which are similar in structure and function, to help increase the bioavailability of berberine. The last ingredient is the cellulose capsule, which is composed of only cellulose and water and is gluten-free and vegan.

Our proprietary Broccoli Seed Complex contains Stabilized Sulforaphane as well as cousin molecules (AITC, BITC, Iberin) that work synergistically to increase the bioavailability of BerbElite®. This means that the Broccoli Seed Complex helps berberine get into your cells.

BerbElite® contains 2mg of Stabilized Sulforaphane per capsule.

Our recommended dose for BerbElite® is 2 capsules per day (350 mg berberine). We recommend taking both capsules in the evening with dinner, but you can also take 1 BerbElite® in the morning with breakfast and 1 BerbElite® in the evening with dinner.

Adults and children can take BerbElite®.

We recommend taking BerbElite® with food. But you can also take BerbElite® on an empty stomach.

We recommend consulting your OBGYN before taking BerbElite®. If you have a history of gestational diabetes or are at risk for this condition, we strongly advise you to discuss treatment options with your physician to limit the risk of this condition. Consider supplementing with BerbElite® pre-pregnancy after a discussion with your physician.

There are no known adverse effects to taking the sulforaphane in BerbElite®. However, if you are new to this supplement or supplements in general and are struggling with health, we would recommend starting slowly and taking it with a glass of water and a meal.

Some medications may interact with the berberine in BerbElite®, including transplant, blood pressure, diabetic and sedative medications. We recommend consulting your physicians if you are adding BerbElite® to your regimen.

No. If you use it daily, BerbElite® does not need to be refrigerated. If you use BerbElite® periodically, we recommend putting it in the refrigerator so that the ingredients stay potent for a longer period, up to one year.

Once BerbElite® is opened, it should be kept in your refrigerator with the desiccant sachet insert (for moisture) and consumed within 60 days. Bottles are best consumed within 1 year of production.
