What ingredient do you think is floating around the market but doesn't get as much appreciation as some of the other '' Ingredients '' that are a little too pushed.
For me it's.......
Berberine
I recently had some issues with Candida (Bacterial Overgrowth... Stomach issues)
After being tested and found this is what was causing my stomach issues i started to look into clearing it up. The Doctor recommended. Antibiotics? Hell no.. That's what caused my issue to begin with. So i searched for more '' Natural '' ways and in the past i had only ever really used Berberine as part of all the classic GDA supplements. Just as it was very good at controlling blood glucose levels. At the time i purely thought it was all just for blood sugar benefits. After seeing it also helped clear out Bacterial infections i became intrigued and started to really look into Berberine and what it offers.
Blood Glucose Control (Studies show it is on par with Pharmaceutical drugs ie Metformin)
Activates AMPK which in turn can speed up our Metabolism. I'm sure we have seen AMPK mentioned in a few supplements these days?
Helps fight bacterial infections (Which is the reason i added this to my daily regimen.. I had zero clue Berberine at the time could even be linked to improving your gut) it has been shown in study's to reduce bad bacteria and increase the good one's. The gut microbiome has recently been the forefront of attention and just shows how important a healthy gut can be a huge impact on your overall health. The gut can affect your energy levels.. Your mood (Serotonin levels)' Improves your immune system and just as important.... Helps with digestion and gaining as much benefit from good food as possible.
Lowers LDL and raises HDL levels. I don't think the improvement is hugely significant but it still has a small impact on these levels and every little counts.
Stimulates Nitric Oxide production. This in turn can help with blood pressure ' Increases blood flow and can help with atherosclerosis (Certain their is a good study on this?)
Reduces fatty liver... Has been shown to reduce build up of fat in the liver.
Powerful anti oxidant + Anti inflammatory.
Im sure it has more benefits also but these are pretty significant for one ingredient.
I just wanted to add this as i know Berberine is mentioned quite alot but just never felt it got the appreciation it deserved. Such a powerful ingredient for your overall health.
Also if you buy it in bulk powder form it can last ages but also it isn't very expensive. (I started with capped Berberine then found bulk powder form and i got this as you get FAR more for less £££)
Anyone else think of an ingredient that should be incorporated into your life based on how many benefits it has? I'm sure their are loads. I just feel like some supplements these days can be overly pushed and advertised too much but they just don't have as much research and benefits behind them.
Be interesting to see what people think
Thanks!
