Why TruThera
Micronization preserves heat-sensitive polyphenols that are often reduced during conventional extraction.
Dihydroberberine
TruDHB™
Compound Overview
- Dihydroberberine is a reduced, more bioavailable form of berberine that converts to berberine in vivo after absorption.
Key Compounds
- Demonstrates significantly higher oral bioavailability than berberine
- Achieves comparable systemic levels at lower doses
- Reduced gastrointestinal discomfort compared to traditional berberine
Clinically Supported Functions
- Glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
- Cardiometabolic health
- Gut and microbiome support
Trametes versicolor
