BerBerSan® in the Kleine Zeitung: The first berberine juice from Schladming in focus
We are delighted: The Kleine Zeitung has reported on our success story! Under the title "Two ancient healing arts and 'Master Chance'", the editorial team presents our unique project – the development of the world's first berberine juice in Schladming. From ancient healing traditions to modern research Berberine is an active ingredient from the barberry that has been known for centuries and was used in both Traditional Persian and Traditional Chinese Medicine . Today, berberine is being scientifically researched in connection with cholesterol, blood sugar, and fatty liver disease . Until now, berberine was almost exclusively available in capsule form . But together we – Bernhard Sikora, Pharmacist Dr. Agnieszka Magg and internist Dr. Babak Bahadori have developed a new approach: BerBerSan® , the first berberine juice, rounded off with clear water from the Dachstein mountain. Why juice instead of capsules? We are convinced that absorption via the oral mucosa offers advantages over traditional capsules. Many customers report positive effects, particularly regarding liver function tests such as gamma-GT . The Kleine Zeitung highlights how we have managed to combine traditional knowledge with modern research – and thus create a completely new approach to liver and cholesterol health . Schladming as the starting point for innovation We are particularly proud that this innovation originated in Schladming. Here, alpine purity , medical expertise , and millennia-old healing knowledge combine to create a product that is unique worldwide. A glimpse into the future With BerBerSan®, we not only want to offer a product, but also contribute to research on berberine . Our goal is to further investigate and raise awareness of the medical potential of berberine in collaboration with physicians and universities. 👉 You can find the full article in the Kleine Zeitung in the edition of August 20, 2025.

Christmas time over – Give your liver relief with BerberSan™
For many of us, the Christmas season is a time of indulgence: lavish feasts, sweet treats, and the occasional glass of eggnog are simply part of the experience. But after the holidays, many people feel the need to give their bodies, and especially their livers, a little break. This is where BerBerSan™ comes in: Our innovative berberine juice offers a way to naturally support your body and bring it back into balance. Why does the liver need support after the holidays? The liver is one of the most important organs when it comes to detoxifying our bodies. During the holidays, it can be particularly stressed by fatty foods, alcohol, and sugar. An overloaded metabolism can manifest itself in fatigue, a feeling of bloating, or an imbalanced digestive tract. Of course, the liver usually regenerates itself – but there are natural ways to support it in this task.

The alkaloid berberine, which is contained in our juice, has a firm place in traditional medicine and has been valued there for centuries. Studies suggest that berberine can be absorbed through the oral mucosa and may activate mechanisms in the body that, among other things, regulate appetite. Scientists are investigating the so-called GLP-1 signaling pathway, which also plays a role in modern metabolic therapies. Important note: Although studies provide evidence, our products are not a substitute for medical treatment. BerBerSan™ is a food, not a medicine. 3 reasons why BerBerSan™ is ideal for the post-holiday period Supporting well-being: The absorption of berberine through the oral mucosa may help reduce cravings for sweets – a benefit after the high-calorie Christmas season.

🌱 Why do Persians eat barberries with fatty, sumptuous meals? 🌱
Dr Babak Bahadori on the creation of BerBerSan ™ "Many years ago, Dr. Eva-Maria Steinkellner surprised me with a question that has stuck with me to this day. She is not only a valued colleague, but also one of the best nutrition experts in Austria. One Sunday, I kept my long-held promise and prepared Persian barberry rice with saffron for Eva-Maria. When she noticed from my expression that I wasn't sure of the answer myself, she explained to me that #berberine, the main active ingredient in barberry, has a cholekinetic effect and thus supports the digestion of fatty foods. Embarrassed by my lack of knowledge about the plant from my own culture, I began to intensively study the phytopharmaceutical effects of barberry—a journey that took me deep into my past and traditional Persian medicine (TPM). The multitude of scientific studies demonstrating positive effects of berberine on diabetes, lipid metabolism disorders, and liver and gallbladder diseases surprised me. Shortly thereafter, I experienced the first success with one of my patients after gallbladder surgery (post-cholecystectomy syndrome) when I prepared a barberry tea based on an old Persian recipe, which was able to alleviate his symptoms. When I explained this effect to my scientific partner Bernhard Sikora, he was enthusiastic. Initially, the idea was to compile all scientific findings on barberries into one book. Thanks to the tremendous support and expertise of Dr. Afsaneh Gächter, this book became a reality. Shortly after its publication, Bernhard came up with the idea of standardizing the production of barberry tea. This vision would never have become reality without the support of Dr. pharm. Agnieszka Magg, an outstanding pharmaceutical specialist with many years of research experience in China. After intensive research and hard work, BerBerSan™ was finally created – a unique berberine juice that has proven itself in practice as a supportive measure for metabolic diseases and various liver and gallbladder diseases such as fatty liver. My deepest thanks go to everyone who contributed. Thanks to their commitment and expertise, tradition was transformed into true innovation. 🍃"

Berberine and cholesterol: BerBerSan™ as natural support for your liver health
Cholesterol is a vital substance for our bodies, but too much LDL cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, can disrupt the balance in the body. Healthy cholesterol levels are closely linked to the function of our liver, which plays a crucial role in cholesterol management. But how can berberine, the natural active ingredient in BerBerSan™, support these processes? LDL cholesterol and the role of the liver LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, transports cholesterol throughout the body. However, an excess of LDL can lead to deposits in the blood vessels, which can place a strain on the cardiovascular system. The liver is responsible for breaking down LDL cholesterol and uses special receptors – so-called LDL receptors – to absorb and process cholesterol from the blood. How can berberine support natural balance? Berberine is known for its ability to influence the activity of these LDL receptors. Studies show that berberine can increase the number of these receptors in the liver, allowing for better absorption and processing of LDL. Thus, berberine naturally supports the body in maintaining cholesterol balance. Why BerBerSan™? BerBerSan™ provides berberine in liquid form, allowing for direct absorption through the oral mucosa, known as lingual absorption . This unique dosage form ensures that berberine is efficiently absorbed and immediately available to the body. Regular consumption of BerBerSan™ can be a natural addition to your daily health routine and help support your liver. Tips to support your liver In addition to taking BerBerSan™, you can also promote your liver health with a few simple tips: Balanced diet : Lots of vegetables, healthy fats and whole grain products can relieve the strain on your liver. Drink plenty of fluids : Water helps detoxify the body and support liver function. Regular exercise : Exercise can stimulate metabolism and support cholesterol management. Conclusion: BerBerSan™ as natural support for a healthy cholesterol balance Cholesterol balance is important for our well-being. BerBerSan™ offers a natural option to gently support the liver and maintain cholesterol balance. Complement your health routine with the power of berberine and naturally balance your cholesterol levels – with BerBerSan™.
