Bergenin
Aids In Fat Loss And Healthy Weight Maintenance
What is it and where does it come from?
Bergenin monohydrate (C14H16O9 . H2O) is an isocumeric compound that
is found in the Bergenia crassifolia (Siberian Tea), Astilbe thunbergii
(Ostrich Plume) and Ardisia japonica (Marlberry Bush) plants. Isocumaric
plants are found in many Asian and Indian plants.
What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to
support this?
While not directly stimulating thermogenesis, bergenin aides in fat
loss and healthy weight maintenance by opposing the lipogenic action of
insulin, and enhancing the lipolytic effects of norepinephrine. By
preventing fat storage and stimulating fat burning, bergenin has proven
to be an incredibly effective supplement for people looking to lose
weight and keep it off. Not surprisingly, Bergenin is becoming a common
ingredient in over the counter dietary weight-loss supplements.
