This is a difficult question to answer. So much of it depends on the individual's needs and our health is far too complex to be remedied or maintained with a single nutrient. We usually point people to our CORE 4 Supplements (multivitamin, omega-3, probiotic, greens powder), but if you’re looking for one supplement that has widespread benefits that nearly everyone can benefit from, it’s hard not to throw berberine in the mix as well. Berberine is a compound that can be extracted from many plants, including those of the Berberis genus. It’s an alkaloid compound, which is a naturally occurring nitrogen compound that’s most commonly found in the plant kingdom. It should also be noted that berberine has a history extending back to ancient medicine, but modern studies have confirmed again and again how effective this compound is in restoring optimal health.

Meet Carrie: Carrie is a national educator for Natural Factors and licensed herbalist and is excited to share with you how berberine and another nutrient called PEA can benefit your life. Berberine is widely recognized for it’s ability to optimize blood sugar levels, even to the extent of competing with current pharmaceuticals, but it’s other extensive benefits make it one supplement that should be a part of everyone’s supplement regimen.

Takeaways: Berberine does just as good a job as metformin and has less price to it and has far less risk and side effects as far as blood sugar. (8:00) Insulin resistance can be devastating our health. (12:00) Your body creates PEA on its own, so supplementing will further enhance its benefits, specifically on the endocannabinoid system. (23:02) PEA can be an incredibly powerful tool for those that have neuropathy. (25:58)
