The Berberine Supplement Fraud Nobody's Talking About

Описание: Fraudulent products are a real concern for supplement buyers. The latest example of this was revealed in lab testing of top selling berberine supplements purchased on Amazon. The results were pretty shocking with the majority of supplements seemingly containing less than 10% of the berberine claimed on the product label – with a couple containing none at all.

In this eye-opening episode of the NatureCity Podcast, host and supplement industry veteran Carl Pradelli breaks down the findings and why if a supplement price seems too good to be true, it probably is. You’ll also find out why solely relying on Amazon star ratings and badges may not protect you from purchasing a fraudulent supplement.

Carl also dives into why berberine has become a target for fraudulent supplement makers: it's growing in popularity for supporting blood sugar, metabolic health, and weight management, but a high dose is required for results (which make it more costly to produce). This has opened the door for bad actors to cut corners.

Carl also outlines the biological role of berberine, including how it supports AMPK enzyme activity, blood sugar metabolism, and insulin function. He also discusses GlucoVantage, a newer form of berberine (dihydroberberine) that offers superior absorption and far fewer stomach and gastrointestinal issues—making it a game-changer for anyone interested in the benefits of berberine.

This episode doesn’t just warn you—it equips you. Learn how to spot quality supplements, why price matters, and how combining berberine with strength training can improve body composition and reduce fat storage.
