Ingredients for Metabolic Health

Berberine is a bright‑yellow plant alkaloid found in barberry and Oregon grape that acts a bit like a metabolic gearbox—helping the body handle sugar and fats more efficiently. People use it to steady blood sugar, improve cholesterol and triglycerides, and as an adjunct for weight or hormone‑related metabolic issues. Think of it as a modest, multi‑target tune‑up for metabolic health—not a miracle switch.

• Support healthy blood sugar
• Improve cholesterol and triglycerides
• Assist with modest weight management
• Support metabolic and fertility parameters in PCOS

Evidence

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a mitochondrial cofactor that also acts as a versatile antioxidant. Think of it as a cellular handyman: it helps enzymes turn food into energy and can recycle other antioxidants, which may nudge blood sugar, inflammation, and nerve health in a better direction.

• Support healthy blood sugar
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Relieve diabetic nerve symptoms (neuroprotection)
• Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
• Assist modest weight loss and cardiometabolic markers
• Support liver health in NAFLD

Evidence

Inositol is a vitamin‑like sugar that helps cells respond to insulin and hormones that drive ovulation. Think of it as a signaling helper: in the ovaries and metabolic tissues it can nudge pathways toward steadier blood sugar and more regular cycles. Most supplements use myo‑inositol alone or paired with D‑chiro‑inositol in a 40:1 ratio.

• Support PCOS‑related cycle regularity and symptoms
• Improve insulin sensitivity and related metabolic markers
• Support healthy blood sugar in pregnancy (reduce risk of gestational diabetes)
• Support ovulation and fertility in PCOS
• Reduce anxiety/panic symptoms
