High-quality complex with chromium to maintain normal blood sugar levels

Berberine + Chromium capsules from Unimedica have been developed with the essential trace element chromium to support metabolism and regulation of the blood sugar level. Metabolism, blood sugar and body weight are indissolubly linked. Chromium plays a key role here. Chromium is supplemented in our capsules with the plant substance berberine.

Chromium plus berberine with the patented ingredient UltraBer™ whey protein complex

For our Berberine + Chromium capsules we use the innovative patented ingredient UltraBer™ whey protein complex. It contains berberine, bound to whey protein. This facilitates its absorption and transport in the body.

Whey protein is a very high-quality milk protein. It contains all the amino acids and is very quickly absorbed by the body. It is the isolated protein from the whey, concentrated and broken down into tiny particles. Whey arises when fat and protein in the milk are separated during cheesemaking. It contains milk sugar, free amino acids, whey protein and minerals. Proteins are used for the construction and maintenance of muscle mass.

Why does the body need chromium?

Chromium occurs in the liver, spleen, bones and fatty tissue. It helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and metabolise macronutrients in a normal way. In detail, this means that chromium supports the absorption of amino acids as protein building blocks into muscle tissue, thereby promoting protein formation in the muscles. Chromium is also important for the thyroid gland.

What is berberine?

Berberine is an alkaloid – a naturally occurring alkaline organic compound containing sulphur. Berberine is found, for example, in the stem, bark and roots of the barberry tree. It is used widely in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Johann Andreas Buchner and Johann Eduard Herberger isolated berberine in 1830 from the root bark of the common barberry, hence the name. The same substance was first discovered by Karl Gustav Friedrich Hüttenscheidt in the Jamaican “Wurmrinde”.
Berberine is found in various plant genuses and families. It is found in the roots and bark of plants and is appreciated for its numerous properties.

Which foods contain chromium and berberine?

Chromium is found in many foods, especially milk and milk products, wholegrain products, meat, fats, oils, strawberries, tomatoes, chocolate, fish and pulses. Berberine is also found in small amounts in the fruit of the barberry. Dried barberries are a welcome flavouring in the kitchen.
