Berberine is known for its health-promoting properties, particularly in supporting blood sugar control and metabolism. However, not all berberine products are the same. What makes our BerBerSan BBS1 Berberine Juice special is its lingual absorption —that is, the absorption of the active ingredient through the oral mucosa.
Why lingual recording?
Most berberine supplements are taken orally and must pass through the digestive tract before the active ingredient is released. Our berberine juice is absorbed directly through the oral mucosa, allowing for faster and more efficient absorption. This alternative route of absorption sets us apart from many other products on the market.
Berberine and GLP-1: Scientific Evidence
A particularly interesting aspect of berberine is its potential ability to stimulate the production of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) . GLP-1 is a hormone released in the gut that plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels. Well-known medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro utilize these mechanisms to treat type 2 diabetes and support weight loss.
A study by Yunli Yu et al. (2015) showed that berberine activates bitter taste receptors in the gut, thereby stimulating the production of GLP-1. These receptors, particularly TAS2R38 , play a central role in this process. Berberine-induced GLP-1 is released via a PLC-dependent mechanism , as the study also confirmed. The activation of taste receptors and the associated stimulation of GLP-1 may have positive effects on blood glucose control.
What does this mean for you?
Berberine, absorbed through the oral mucosa, can offer similar benefits to well-known GLP-1-based medications. The difference: Berberine is a natural plant compound that can support the body's own mechanisms. Our BerBerSan BBS1 Berberine Juice leverages this scientific knowledge to offer a natural, plant-based solution.
It is important to note that as a herbal ingredient, berberine may offer many potential benefits, but it should always be used cautiously and as part of a holistic approach to health promotion.
