Capsule · berberine as a cyclodextrin inclusion complex
Anyone can put berberine in a capsule.
The question that decides whether it does anything is how much of it your body can actually take up. Berberine barely dissolves in water, so most of a conventional dose never becomes available. That single limitation is what this formulation is built to solve.
The berberine problem
One of the most studied botanicals in metabolic health. Also one of the hardest to formulate.
Free berberine dissolves poorly in water. Particles clump together and settle out, and limited dissolution means limited absorption. You can put a large number on the label and still deliver very little.
That is a delivery problem, and delivery is the second of our three basics — so it is exactly the kind of problem we take on.
Our answer: an inclusion complex
Cyclodextrin is a ring-shaped sugar molecule — water-loving on the outside, water-repelling in the cavity at its centre. Berberine tucks into that cavity, and the whole assembly then behaves in water the way the cyclodextrin does: it disperses uniformly and stays in solution.
A precision that matters: this is molecular encapsulation in a cyclodextrin cavity. It is not a phytosome, and we do not describe it as one.
The formulation
Built around the complex, not instead of it.
The inclusion complex is the technology. These are the actives it sits alongside, each chosen for a distinct role.
Berberine
Berberis aristata root, as a cyclodextrin inclusion complex
The most-researched botanical in this category — and the one whose real-world performance depends most on how it is formulated.
Cordyceps
Ophiocordyceps sinensis
Supports mitochondrial function and cellular energy metabolism — the same energy machinery that glucose feeds into.
Gymnema
Gymnema sylvestre
Traditionally called the “sugar destroyer”; supports glucose metabolism and helps curb sweet cravings.
Bitter melon
Momordica charantia
Traditionally used to support efficient utilisation of sugar by the body’s cells.
Banaba leaf
Lagerstroemia speciosa
Supports healthy insulin function and glucose utilisation.
Chromium, piperine and more
With milk thistle and mulberry leaf
Chromium picolinate is an essential trace mineral supporting insulin activity and carbohydrate metabolism. Piperine improves uptake of the botanical actives alongside it.
