This formula has been used for a long time to help stabilize blood sugars and insulin resistance. I make no claims as to its efficacy. I would suggest capsules as it is very, very bitter.
please choose carefully whether capsules or powder and sizes. Thanks.
Description
Ingredients”
25 Huang Lian – coptis – contains berberine
75 Zhi Shi – Fructus Aurantii Immaturus
Huang Lian is very cold and very bitter and may have side effects such as diarrhea if taken too much. The Zhi Shi in the formula should help with those side effects.
This formula has been used for a long time to help stabilize blood sugars.
Note that these are rat studies.
“Intricate health problems, such as insulin resistance (IR) and its associated diseases, call for multi-targeted therapies with few side effects. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Dai-Zong-Fang (DZF) is an herbal formula mainly composed of Rhizoma Coptidis (Huanglian) and Fructus Aurantii Immaturus (Zhishi), of which berberine and naringin are the main constituents. Though DZF has been clinically used for treatment of IR and metabolic syndrome for decades, its mechanism in vivo remains unknown. In the present study, we observed that both DZF and metformin, the first-line drug for type 2 diabetes, ameliorated insulin resistance with significant improvement of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) level in diabetic C57BL/Ksj-Lepr db−/− (db/db) mice. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and fatty acids (FAs) also decreased in the blood. Higher dose of DZF (1 g·kg−1), but not metformin (0.25 g·kg−1), alleviated hepatic steatosis with reduced liver weight and hepatic lipid accumulation and provided protection from hepatic injury with lower alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase and increased hepatic superoxide dismutase activity in db/db mice. ”
