Berberine is a proven remedy for acne because it keeps blood sugar levels down and prevents too much insulin, which is known to be one of the causes of acne. I could make myself of it. I had to deal with severe acne for a long time, but after I changed my diet and supplemented it with 1 time per day with one capsule of berberine my acne disappeared.
Building muscle and berberine
And that's not all, also of bodybuilder Berberine is often used. How so?
It activates AMPK (= activated protein kinase) - but for what we need AMPK main?
It is an enzyme responsible for maintaining the energy balance of cells and balancing blood lipid levels, blood glucose levels and energy levels.
So you have to turn on AMPK to get the cells into muscle-building mode, and Berberine seems to do that. Many bodybuilders swear by it.
