Ingredients explained
Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata bark)
Berberine activates cellular AMPK pathways and influences gut and liver enzymes, which may support glucose handling and lipid metabolism.
Caution: May interact with blood sugar medications due to its glucose-lowering effects; start with food to reduce possible stomach upset.
Capric Acid (C10) (from MCT Oil)
Capric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that is rapidly absorbed and may enhance berberine uptake while providing a quick energy source.
Caution: May cause digestive discomfort in some people when taken on an empty stomach; take with meals to improve tolerance.
MCT Oil (Medium-Chain Triglycerides)
MCTs are quickly absorbed fats that can aid the dispersion and absorption of fat-soluble or lipophilic compounds like berberine.
Caution: High intakes may lead to loose stools; introduce gradually if sensitive to oils.
How they work together
Berberine is the primary bioactive that acts on cellular energy and metabolic pathways. The accompanying MCT oil, including capric acid, helps improve berberine’s absorption and gastrointestinal comfort by aiding its delivery and uptake.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not use if pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Consult a physician before use if taking medications, especially anti-diabetes medications, or if you have a medical condition.

Berberine is a natural constituent of herbs such as goldenseal, Oregon grape, and barberry. Clinical studies have demonstrated that berberine helps to support already normal glucose and lipid metabolism. Because berberine is known for its limited bioavailability, this product includes capric acid (C10, a medium- chain triglyceride) to promote optimal absorption and maintenance of gastrointestinal comfort during berberine supplementation.
