Active metabolite of berberine with 5x greater absorption. AMPK activator that improves insulin sensitivity, reduces hepatic glucose production, and modulates gut microbiome. More bioavailable form allows lower dosing with fewer GI side effects.
Stable precursor to sulforaphane. Requires myrosinase enzyme (from gut bacteria or co-administered) for conversion. Provides sustained sulforaphane release compared to direct supplementation. Activates Nrf2 pathway for antioxidant and detoxification gene expression.
