What brings you in today?
Explanation
Liposomal berberine is a special form of berberine that is designed to be more easily absorbed by the body. Regular berberine can be hard for the body to absorb, which means it might not work as well.
Why Liposomal Berberine Works Better:
- Better Absorption: Liposomal berberine is wrapped in tiny bubbles called liposomes. These liposomes help berberine get into the body more easily.
- Improved Delivery: The liposomes protect berberine as it travels through the stomach, helping more of it reach the bloodstream.
These improvements mean that liposomal berberine can be more effective, as the body can use it better than regular berberine.
