Saren: From restaurant stress to training focus
Saren runs a popular restaurant in Schladming . Long shifts, late meals, and constant temptations are part of his daily routine. At some point, he noticed: his belly was getting rounder, and his energy levels during workouts weren't what they used to be. He decided to take his exercise seriously again – and added BerBerSan® berberine juice to his routine.
Important: Saren does not see BerBerSan® as a miracle cure. For him, it is a supplement to training, a conscious diet, sufficient sleep, and stress management.
Before and after: Photos & impressions
“What surprised me most was that I snacked less often between services in the restaurant. I was able to train with more focus and felt more stable overall,” Saren describes his experience.
Berberine explained simply: GLP-1, AMPK & metabolism – easy for laypeople to understand
Berberine is a natural bitter substance found in barberries . Scientific studies examine berberine in the context of metabolic processes. The following is a simplified explanation – without any health claims:
- Satiety signals (GLP-1): Research suggests that berberine may influence signaling pathways related to the hormone GLP-1. Many users report a subjective reduction in hunger as a result. This does not replace therapy and varies from person to person.
- Energy Switch (AMPK): AMPK can be thought of as an internal "energy switch." When it is active, the body uses energy more efficiently. Studies suggest that berberine could influence this pathway—which can be perceived in everyday life as improved metabolic function.
- The overall context matters: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management remain the key factors. Dietary supplements can provide support , but they cannot compensate for unhealthy habits.
Why a juice? Advantages of sublingual absorption
BerBerSan® is a liquid product. Many users appreciate that:
- Contact with the oral mucosa: Absorption begins in the mouth (lingual phase). Some users perceive the effect on satiety as noticeable earlier .
- Easy to use: No need to swallow capsules, flexible portioning.
- The bitterness is intentional: The bitter taste comes from berberine – it's part of the sensory experience. Those with a sensitive palate can rinse with a little water.
Practical application & everyday tips
- Timing: Many people take 1-2 servings daily, e.g., before their first meal. Start slowly and follow the instructions on the packaging.
- Training: Combine strength and endurance stimuli; progressive but realistic increases.
- Diet: High in protein, high in fiber, with sufficient unsaturated fats. Keep liquid calories low.
- Sleep & Stress: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep; consciously schedule breaks during the workday.
