Frequently Asked Questions
What is Metagenics Berberine GT, and what is it used for?
Metagenics Berberine GT is a 60-capsule supplement providing 500 mg berberine HCl and 200 mg of decaffeinated green tea extract (60% catechins, 40% EGCG) per capsule, taken 3 times daily with food — totaling 1,500 mg berberine and 600 mg green tea extract per day. The formula supports healthy glucose and insulin metabolism, healthy fat metabolism, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels within the normal range, antioxidant activity, and cardiovascular health through balanced glucose and lipid metabolism.
What are the key ingredients in Berberine GT and how do they work together?
Each vegetarian capsule contains berberine HCl (500 mg), which activates AMPK — a master metabolic enzyme that regulates glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and fatty acid oxidation — and decaffeinated green tea extract (200 mg, standardized to 60% catechins, 40% EGCG). EGCG inhibits P-glycoprotein, an intestinal efflux transporter that pumps berberine out of intestinal cells before it reaches the bloodstream, increasing berberine's systemic absorption. The two ingredients act on overlapping metabolic pathways while addressing berberine's bioavailability limitation. Excipients: HPMC capsule, microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide.
Who should take Metagenics Berberine GT, and how is it used?
For adults with metabolic health concerns — particularly those managing blood sugar within the normal range, supporting weight maintenance, or seeking balanced lipid levels. Take 1 capsule 3 times daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a practitioner before use if you have a liver disorder, iron deficiency, diabetes, hypoglycemia, hypertension, or leucopenia, or if taking any medications. Stop use and consult a practitioner if symptoms of liver trouble develop. Use beyond 3 months requires practitioner consultation. May cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.
How does Metagenics Berberine GT differ from standalone berberine supplements?
The berberine-EGCG combination directly addresses berberine's main pharmacokinetic limitation: poor oral bioavailability caused by intestinal P-glycoprotein efflux transporters, which return a significant portion of ingested berberine to the gut lumen before it reaches the bloodstream. EGCG from green tea inhibits P-glycoprotein, increasing the amount of berberine that reaches systemic circulation. Most standalone berberine products do not include a bioavailability-enhancing co-ingredient. The 1,500 mg total daily dose (500 mg x 3) matches the doses used in the most cited berberine clinical trials for blood sugar and lipid effects, including studies comparing berberine to metformin. The green tea extract is also standardized specifically to 40% EGCG — a higher active catechin fraction than most generic green tea extracts.
What is Metagenics and who are its supplements designed for?
Metagenics is an American functional medicine supplement brand founded in 1983 by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, widely regarded as the father of functional medicine. Products address root causes of chronic illness rather than symptoms, targeting gut health, hormonal balance, detoxification, cardiometabolic health, and cognitive function. Manufacturing is USP GMP and NSF GMP certified, with over 60,000 quality control tests conducted annually. Metagenics is the number-one doctor-recommended professional supplement brand in North America and holds Certified B Corp status. Products are available through licensed healthcare practitioners.
What is Metagenics and are its supplements safe to use in Canada?
Metagenics is a science-based supplement brand founded in 1983, with Canadian operations headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. All Metagenics products sold in Canada carry Health Canada Natural Product Numbers (NPN), confirming they have been reviewed for safety, efficacy, and quality under Canada's Natural Health Products Regulations. Manufacturing facilities are audited by USP GMP, NSF International GMP, and Canada's Natural and Non-Prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD). Metagenics is also a certified B Corporation (since 2022) and offers lot-level quality transparency through its TruQuality® Guarantee, allowing customers to verify testing results for every formula by lot number.
How is Metagenics different from regular supplement brands sold in stores?
Metagenics differs from typical retail supplements in three ways. First, it is a practitioner-grade brand — formulated for therapeutic use and traditionally distributed through licensed healthcare providers, not mass retail, making it the #1 Doctor Recommended Professional Supplement Brand in North America. Second, its formulas are built on nutrigenomics research — the science of how nutrition interacts with genes — backed by hundreds of clinical studies, with a focus on bioavailability-optimized ingredient forms rather than generic powders. Third, it maintains multi-layer independent quality verification: USP GMP, NSF GMP, and NNHPD Canada audits, with every formula's testing results accessible online by lot number via the TruQuality® Guarantee.
What makes Metagenics different from other professional-grade supplement brands?
Metagenics was built around nutrigenomics — the science of how nutrients regulate gene expression — a field its founder Dr. Jeffrey Bland helped pioneer before it was mainstream. This underpins formulas designed to modulate biological pathways at the cellular level, not just correct deficiencies. Unlike brands that adopted practitioner distribution as a later marketing channel, Metagenics was practitioner-exclusive from inception, with clinical protocols as the core of product design. It has participated in hundreds of clinical trials and conducts over 60,000 quality control tests annually — a depth of evidence unusual for the supplement category.
How Metagenics products tested for quality and safety?
Every Metagenics product undergoes rigorous testing at every stage of production, including raw ingredients, finished formulas, and final encapsulation. We don’t just meet industry standards—we exceed them.
While the FDA requires minimal oversight for supplements, we invest over $1.5 million annually into quality assurance. That includes nearly 50,000 tests per year conducted by more than 70 global quality experts to ensure purity, safety, and potency.
Each product is triple-tested for identity, strength, and consistency—so what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the bottle. And to hold ourselves to an even higher standard, we also voluntarily submit every product for third-party testing to confirm quality and transparency you can trust.

Consult a healthcare practitioner to use if you have a liver disorder, an iron deficiency, have diabetes, hypoglycemia, hypertension, liver disease or leucopenia. Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are taking medications or natural health products. Stop use and consult a healthcare practitioner if you develop symptoms of liver trouble such as yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice), stomach pain, dark urine, sweating, nausea, unusual tiredness and/or loss of appetite. May cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as constipation, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea, in which case discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner. Rare, unpredictable cases of liver injury associated with green tea extract-containing products have been reported (in Canada and internationally). Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 3 months.
