(Newswire.net — October 4, 2018) Orlando, FL — Berberine is one of the natural remedies believed to be highly therapeutic. Due to its healing activities, it is believed to be helpful in fighting a range of diseases and disorders.

Berberine has been found to be a useful cholesterol-lowering compound. This lipid molecule called cholesterol is produced by all animals as part of cell membranes. The purpose of production is to maintain structural integrity and fluidity.

According to experts, cholesterol is also required to make bile acids, vitamin D, and steroid hormones. The human body produces cholesterol, but it can also be found in food.

The two kinds of cholesterol are the good or HDL and bad or LDL cholesterol. LCL is considered bad due to the fact that it causes artery-clogging plaques. HDL is good because it helps eliminate LDL cholesterol, and offer protection against stroke and heart attack.

Excessive levels of cholesterol in the blood leads to fatty deposits in the arterial walls. This can obstruct blood flow, and deprive the heart of oxygen-rich blood. When this happens, the risk of heart attack increases. Further, when the brain is unable to get enough blood, it may lead to stroke.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 71 people in the United States have high cholesterol.  Intake of certain pharmaceutical drugs is one of the ways to reduce cholesterol.

There are also natural methods like diet, weight management, quitting smoking, and the use of berberine. This natural remedy continues to gain popularity due to its positive effects on cholesterol.

This alkaloid compound has a long history of medicinal use. As a matter of fact in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, it has been used in the treatment of diarrhea, stomach issues, and fungal as well as bacterial infections.

In a 2005 study, it was found that berberine was able to decrease cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This study involved hamsters fed with a high-fat, high-cholesterol. 

In another study involving humans, it was found that the use of berberine led to reductions in levels of triglycerides by 23 percent and cholesterol by 12.2 percent.

To experience the therapeutic goodness of berberine, it may be wise to obtain it through supplementation. Divine Bounty Berberine formula could be an excellent choice since it is highly potent and pure.

It is worth mentioning that berberine is believed to increase the production of a receptor protein. This receptor protein can be found in the liver, and it binds with LDL cholesterol that is then excreted.
