Benefits
Carbohydrates get a bad reputation, but now you can eat carbs guilt free with Dihydroberberine. This is industry’s first Dihydroberberine (DHB) known for its ability to inhibit fat cell growth and insulin sensitivity* When you eat carbs your body releases insulin, which is one of the most important hormones when it comes to building muscle but can have a negative effect on fat loss. GluoVantage® was created to help your body respond to carbohydrates and insulin better. This means you can enjoy carbs guilt free even on a diet, as DHB forces the carbs you eat to be stored in the muscle as glycogen and used as energy/fuel by the body instead of being stored as fat.
Body Composition
- DHB may increase adiponectin, a protein secreted by fat cells that influences insulin reception on a cellular level. Further research has found that this increase in adiponectin improves overall health (1).
- If the liver and muscle cells are adequately filled, berberine can increase glucose uptake into fat cells. This lowers blood sugar, and helps resist ailments related to chronic blood sugar elevation (2).
- DHB is one of 17 metabolites the parent compound breaks into during its life cycle within the body. However, the chemical structure of DHB gives it an incredible advantage – DHB is easily absorbed into the intestine, where its then oxidized back into berberine and sent into the plasma (3).
- DHB was found to have an intestinal absorption rate 5 times higher than regular berberine (3).
Longevity
- At a much lower dose, dihydroberberine actually yielded better results than berberine. Considering that DHB also carries some benefits in terms of fatty acid absorption and cardiovascular health (4).
- DHB is easier on the stomach compared to regular Berberine supplements.

Buy from a BYB
GlucoVantage® is the first commercially available brand of Dihydroberberine (DHB), a derivative of berberine, which is an alkaloid isolated from Berberis Aristata. Berberine has been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for decades and shown to be effective on optimizing blood glucose, improving insulin sensitivity and body composition, yet despite its demonstrated efficacy, berberine is limited by poor bioavailability. Recent evidence demonstrates that DHB displays 5-fold better intestinal absorption than berberine in animals.
I am super pleased to see this ingredient finally hit the shelves! It packs a punch to lower blood sugar levels and insulin. It can be used to enhance sports performance by combining it with high carb meals! Never using regular berberine ever again.
