NOW Foods Berberine 400 mg (90 softgels) is a supplement with 400 mg berberine hydrochloride per softgel, derived from the bark of Berberis aristata. The formula also contains 700 mg MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides), including 238 mg capric acid (C10), which are added to support the absorption of berberine. The dosage is flexible: 1 to 3 times per day, preferably with a meal. The softgels are easy to take and offer a convenient alternative to berberine in powder or tablet form. This version is available in a packaging of 90 softgels, suitable for daily use over several weeks.
Berberine naturally has low bioavailability. The addition of MCT oil, including capric acid (C10), helps support absorption.
Berberine is a plant-based alkaloid that naturally occurs in plants such as Berberis aristata, goldenseal, and Oregon grape. In supplements, berberine hydrochloride (HCl) is often used due to the stability and purity of this form.
MCT stands for Medium-Chain Triglycerides. These fats are quickly absorbed and processed, and are often added to fat-soluble supplements to improve the absorption of certain substances.
Taking it with a meal, especially one that contains fat, can support the absorption of fat-soluble substances like MCT and berberine. It can also help to prevent any mild stomach discomfort.
Berberine hydrochloride (HCl) is the most commonly used form in supplements due to its stability, standardization, and wide availability. Other forms such as berberine sulfate or berberine complexes are less common and vary in solubility and dosage needs.
