What is Berberina Excell+ 550mg?
Berberina Excell+ 550mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made with Berbevis®, a phytosome-formulated berberine raw material developed by Indena. Its composition brings together root extract of Berberis aristata, sunflower lecithin, pea protein and grape seed extract within a single matrix.
The formula is designed for those who seek advanced berberine and want to support their metabolic routine. The root of Berberis aristata helps improve blood glucose control.
Berbevis® combines phytosome berberine and grape seed extract in an advanced, concentrated raw material that’s easy to integrate into daily life.
Berbevis®: a berberine designed around its absorption
Conventional berberine has limited absorption. Berbevis® addresses this through phosophosome technology, which integrates the extract of Berberis aristata into a solid dispersion with sunflower lecithin, pea protein and grape seed extract.
This combination was developed with berberine dispersion in the intestinal environment in mind. In a pharmacokinetic study conducted with healthy volunteers, the raw material showed differentiated pharmacokinetic behavior compared to non-formulated berberine (Petrangolini et al., 2021).
Berbevis® is standardized to 31% berberine. This allows offering a constant composition and knowing with precision the real amount of berberine present, beyond merely indicating the total weight of the extract.
Quality present in every detail:
- Concentrated root extract of Berberis aristata 50:1.
- Content standardized to 31% berberine.
- Grape seed extract of Vitis vinifera 15:1.
- Sunflower lecithin and pea protein as part of the phytosome matrix.
- Vegetable capsule format, easy and practical to use.
- Clean label composition, vegan-friendly and non-GMO.
Berberine and grape seed: a metabolic-focused combination
In Berbevis®, the grape seed extract isn’t an added ingredient at random: it’s part of the phytosome raw material itself. This way, the formula blends the berberine metabolic profile with the natural compounds found in Vitis vinifera seeds.
The grape seed extract naturally contains antioxidants and polyphenols like proanthocyanidins. These antioxidants help protect cells and tissues from oxidation. Additionally, Vitis vinifera supports metabolism and cardiovascular health.
Both extracts appear in concentrated forms. The 50:1 root ratio of Berberis aristata indicates 50 parts of root to obtain one part of extract. In the case of Vitis vinifera seed, its 15:1 ratio likewise reflects a high concentration relative to the starting plant material.
Who is it for?
Suitable for adults who want to care for their metabolism within a balanced diet and active lifestyle. It’s especially aimed at those looking for a berberine dietary supplement to support glucose control, thanks to the effects of Berberis aristata.
It’s also a good option for those who value brand raw materials, guaranteed concentration and absorption-focused technologies. Its vegetable capsule makes daily use easy, masks the characteristic taste of extracts, and is vegan-friendly.
How to take it and what to combine it with?
Its format makes it easy to incorporate before main meals, following the usage directions. Consistency and integration into a balanced eating routine are the keys to getting the most out of it.
If you want to complete a routine based on plant extracts, you can pair it with our Cinnamon Extract 30:1 powder. If you prefer adding a practical fiber source to your diet, another option is Psyllium Husk 700mg.
Frequently asked questions
What does it mean that berberine is phytosome?
It means the berberine extract is integrated into a matrix with sunflower lecithin, pea protein and grape seed extract. This technology has been developed considering its dispersion and absorption characteristics compared to non-formulated berberine.
Is the grape seed added separately?
No. The Vitis vinifera seed extract is part of Berbevis®, so it’s integrated into the phytosome raw material along with berberine.
What do the ratios 50:1 and 15:1 mean?
They indicate the concentration of the extracts. A 50:1 ratio means 50 parts of the plant are used to obtain one part of extract, while a 15:1 ratio equals 15 parts of the plant material for every part of extract.
When is it recommended to take it?
It’s designed to be taken before main meals. Always follow the usage directions on the corresponding packaging.
Advanced berberine, from the choice of the raw material
At HSN we’ve chosen Berbevis® to offer berberine that goes beyond a conventional extract. Its phytosome technology, 31% standardization, its combination with grape seed and its concentrated extracts make Berberina Excell+ a complete, practical option focused on metabolic care.
