Known and used in Chinese and Indian pharmacopoeia for over 2500 years, berberine extract is traditionally advised in the accompaniment of type II diabetes, to improve the capacity of glucose absorption by the cells but also as an antifungal, anti-inflammatory and repairing of the intestinal walls. Discover berberine as a remedy of choice to counter intestinal hyperpermeability.
La berbérine
The berberine is an alkaloid from certain plants such as barberry found under our lettuces. An alkaloid is an alkaline chemical with real therapeutic value.
The berberine is therefore an interesting molecule that is particularly advised during the mucosal repair phase in cases of intestinal porosity.
Berbérine et la porosité intestinale
Billions of bacteria populate our intestines and participate in the proper functioning of our digestion, the assimilation of nutrients as well as the quality of our immune system. When the balance of this microbiota is disturbed, and this over the long term, the intestines are likely to become porous, thus promoting certain inflammatory and/or allergic disorders.
Where does intestinal hyperpermeability come from?
A diet too high in glucose and low in fiber has a deleterious impact on the balance of the gut ecosystem. Refined sugar is a scourge in our modern societies. Consumed in excess, it participates in the increase of obesity, diabetes, fungal diseases, is also considered a pro-inflammatory food and greatly disrupts various biological and chemical mechanisms of the body.

Crohn's disease
ulcerative colitis
celiac disease
hyperperpermeability intestinal (with repercussion on other organ systems)
La berberine sous l’œil des scientifiques
Several scientific studies report the effectiveness of this molecule in the disorders described above thanks to the stimulation of the enzyme AMPK (Adenosine Monophosphate activated Proteine Kinase) which plays a very important role in the regulation of metabolism.
Acting directly in the heart of the cell, berberine :
Would lower blood glucose levels (hypoglycemic) by decreasing insulin resistance, increasing the ability of cells to break down glucose (glycolysis) and decreasing sugar production in the liver.
Would participate in the repair of epithelial cells of the small intestine..
Would have significant antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
would dissolve lipids, decrease the level of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and promote weight loss.
