Weight Control Duo - Berberine & Cinnamon

One of the greatest contributing factors to weight gain, and the inability to lose weight revolves around insulin resistance and blood sugar control.  Millions of Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic.  And for those of you who are not, if you are over weight, this can lead to these chronic conditions.  

Berberine, a compound found in certain plants, has been linked to increased GLP-1 secretion, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.  Likewise, cinnamon has been linked to it's ability to help control blood sugar, boost metabolism, and reduce sugar cravings.

WARNING BEFORE TAKING ANY SUPPLEMENT DISCUSS AND CLEAR WITH YOUR DOCTOR.  BERBERINE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS ARE digestive upset, low blood sugar (especially if you're on glucose-lowering meds), or drug interactions.
