Dr. Westin Childs Berberine 500+ Thyroid Supplements, Unisex, sku-5278599603, UPC 197644382927. Package size: 2.5" x 2.5" x 5". The listing identifies this product as 60 C and describes 200 MG of dihydroberberine as GlucoVantage.

Dihydroberberine is a metabolite of berberine; the listing cites research suggesting it may be up to 5x more effective than standard berberine at lower doses, potentially with fewer gastrointestinal symptoms. It also cites animal research indicating that about 1% of standard oral berberine is absorbed, and says dihydroberberine is more bioavailable.

Berberine HCL activates AMP kinase, an enzyme also activated during exercise. The combination is described as providing short- and long-term AMPK activation and supporting metabolism, gut, immune and thyroid health alongside exercise and a whole-food diet. Directions are to take 2 capsules twice daily with meals, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening.

Each morning and evening serving provides 200 mg of dihydroberberine, 250 mg of alpha lipoic acid and 200 mg of berberine HCL. The supplements are made in the USA in a GMP-compliant facility. Each lot is tested for heavy metals, microbes, mold and contaminants by an ISO-accredited lab. The formula is free of gluten, dairy, soy, GMOs, artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
