What health benefits does Berberine CoQ10 provide?
Berberine CoQ10 combines two powerful nutrients that have been studied for their potential health benefits. Berberine, a plant extract, has been researched for its role in promoting healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels already in the normal range. CoQ10 is an important compound found naturally in the body that provides antioxidant support and supports cellular energy production.*
While individual results may vary, many report feeling more energized after taking Berberine CoQ10. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have any existing conditions.

What is the benefit of phytosome?
Phytosome is a type of dietary supplement that uses a unique delivery system to enhance the bioavailability of phytochemicals, which are naturally-occurring compounds found in plants. The phytosome delivery system typically involves combining a phytochemical with a phospholipid, which can help to improve the absorption and effectiveness of the phytochemical. Some potential benefits of phytosomes include improved nutrient absorption, increased antioxidant activity, and reduced inflammation.
Phytosomes were found to improve solubility, permeability rate and bioavailability of active compounds in various cases (Jain et al., 2010) and inhibit or delay physical and chemical degradation and could be implemented without generating any toxic effects (Karimi et al., 2015).
Other advantages of phytosomes are that they protect active ingredient from destruction from gastric juices and gut bacteria. Besides acting as a carrier for polar compounds, phosphatidylcholine has also hepatoprotective effect (Semalty, Semalty, & Rawat, 2007).
Phytosomes are a new type of herbal extract formulations providing better absorption and enhanced bioavailability in comparison with standard plant extracts (Acharya et al., 2011; Karimi et al., 2015).
Phytosomes are delivery systems that are structurally related to liposomes (Ting et al., 2014). Phytosomes are prepared through the attachment of individual ingredients of herbal extracts to phosphatidyl choline, resulting in a formulation having higher solubility and hence better absorption leading to promoted pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties compared to the conventional herbal extracts (Ajazuddin and Saraf, 2010).
Although liposomes and phytosomes have some similarities, there are differences between them in term of chemical structure. ...There differences result in phytosomes to have much better absorption and more bioavailability than liposomes (Babazadeh et al., 2018; Semalty et al., 2010).

Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disease in females of reproductive age and is characterized by multifactorial unhealthy conditions related to hormonal unbalance and also to dysmetabolism and inflammation. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that natural plant-based products may play a role in PCOS management. The aim of this one-group pretest-post-test explanatory study was to evaluate, in normal-overweight PCOS women with normal menses, the effectiveness of berberine on: Insulin resistance (IR) by Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA); Inflammation by C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF-α); Lipid metabolism; Sex hormone profile and symptoms correlated to hyperandrogenism, such as acne, by Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) and Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI); Body composition by DXA. Finally, adverse effects were assessed by liver and kidney functions and creatine phosphokinase (CPK). All these parameters were collected at baseline and 60 days after supplementation with a new bioavailable and safe berberine formulation. Twelve females (aged 26.6 ± 4.9, BMI 25.3 ± 3.6) were supplied for 60 days with two tablets/day (550 mg/table) of the bioavailable berberine. Results showed a statistically significant decrease in HOMA, CRP, TNF-α, Triglycerides, testosterone, Body Mass Index (BMI), Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT), fat mass, GAGS and CADI scores, and a statistically significant increase in sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Liver and kidney functions and CPK are not statistically significantly different. Therefore, berberine can represent a safe novel dietary supplement, helpful in treatment strategy for PCOS.

Abstract
Introduction: Primary cardiovascular (CV) prevention may be achieved by lifestyle/nutrition changes, although a relevant role is now emerging for specific, functional foods and nutraceutical compounds (NCs). The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of NCs in lowering blood pressure (BP) and improving lipid profile, when added to diet and lifestyle management versus diet alone in a group of patients with hypertension (HT) and hypercholesterolemia (HCh) with low CV risk.
Methods: Sixty-six patients with HT and HCh with grade 1 essential HT (mean age 56.0 ± 4.6 years) without history of CV diseases or organ damage were analyzed. These subjects were started on one tablet of an NC-containing red yeast rice, policosanol, berberine, folic acid and coenzyme Q10 once daily for 6 months and were age and gender matched with subjects following a diet program. Differences in clinic BP, 24-h ambulatory BP (24 h-ABPM), serum total cholesterol, low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C and HDL-C) and triglyceride values were compared by analysis of variance.
Results: In the treatment group, a significant reduction of systolic 24 h-ABPM (141.6 ± 6.4 vs. 136.2 ± 4.8 mmHg; p < 0.05) and pulse pressure 24 h-ABPM (52.6 ± 7.2 vs. 47.3 ± 5.4 mmHg; p < 0.05) was found at the end of follow-up. A reduction of total cholesterol (-19.2%), LDL-C (-17.4%) and triglycerides (-16.3%) was observed (p < 0.001 for all); HDL-C remained unchanged. No difference was found in the control group.
Conclusions: The tested NCs was found to be safe, well tolerated and effective in reducing mean 24-h systolic and 24-h pulse pressure and in improving lipid pattern.
Where is the origin of Berberine?
Berberine Aristata is a natural plant alkaloid substance that grows in India and China, that has been used for more than 3000 years in Indian Ayurveda and Chinese traditional medicine. It is extracted from the bark, stems, roots of plum trees, yellow lotus, yellow wall trees, and long-horned grapes. It is evaluated as a much more powerful substance than the anti-inflammatory & anti-aging effects of curcumin and quercetin.
