After over 25 years of practicing medicine, I'll be the first to tell you that not all supplements are created equal. But when I discovered Dihydroberberine SR, by Endurance Products Company, I was genuinely impressed.  It’s highly bioavailable and outperforms standard berberine at significantly lower doses. You can explore their offerings at endur.com.

Not only is the science solid, but I love that Endurance Products Company is a family-run American company that has cared about doing things right since 1978. I've started recommending Dihydroberberine to my patients who struggle with blood sugar management, and the results speak for themselves. So much so, that I personally take this supplement for helping to support healthy blood sugar levels, heart health, and tap into how my body uses fats for energy
