Berberine — The Plant Compound That Rivals Metformin for Longevity

McKaizer Institute — Longevity & Wellness Science

Berberine activates AMPK — the same energy-sensing pathway as metformin — while also improving gut microbiome diversity, reducing inflammation, and showing remarkable lipid and glucose effects in head-to-head trials.
