Coptis (Huang Lian)
Its primary active compound, berberine, has been shown in modern studies to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce glucose production in the liver, and enhance glucose uptake in cells.
Berberine works through multiple metabolic pathways, making it a natural alternative or complement to conventional diabetes treatments.
Additionally, Coptis has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help protect pancreatic function and reduce complications associated with high blood sugar.
