What is AMPK, and why does it matter for lipid health?*
AMPK (adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase) is an enzyme found in nearly every cell in the body. It acts as a cellular energy sensor: when activated, it signals the body to shift from storing fat to using it, supporting glucose metabolism and how lipids are processed in the liver.
Both Metabolaid® and citrus bergamot have been shown to support normal AMPK activation, each through different polyphenol pathways. So, this recipe supports the key metabolic switch from two independent directions.
Can I take Lipid Flow with my current medications?
If you are taking prescription medications, especially cholesterol or blood pressure medications, consult your healthcare provider before use. Some botanical ingredients (such as berberine) may not be appropriate alongside certain medications.
Does Lipid Flow contain caffeine, and will it affect my sleep?
Lipid Flow includes green tea extract and is best taken earlier in the day (morning or midday). If you are sensitive to caffeine or stimulants, consult your healthcare provider and avoid taking it in the evening.
What is Metabolaid®, and why is it included?
Metabolaid® is a patented blend of lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora) and hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) extracts, backed by 8 human clinical trials and 10 published scientific studies. What makes it distinctive is not just what each botanical does individually, but what they do together. The combination has been shown to activate AMPK at a rate six times greater than either plant used alone.
AMPK is a cellular enzyme that functions as the body's metabolic switch: when activated, it influences how the body processes energy, regulates fat metabolism, and maintains lipid balance.
Metabolaid® is mixed into this recipe at its full studied dose of 500mg per serving.*
How is Lipid Flow different from just taking berberine or bergamot on their own?
Each ingredient in Lipid Flow supports lipid metabolism through a different biological pathway, which is why we mixed them all into one recipe.
Taking a single ingredient addresses one mechanism. Metabolaid® activates AMPK through its unique polyphenol synergy.* Citrus bergamot supports cholesterol metabolism in the liver through its own distinct flavonoid pathways.* Berberine supports the liver's ability to clear LDL through a mechanism separate from both.* Artichoke supports the bile flow that physically removes cholesterol through digestion.*
How long should I use Lipid Flow?
Many people use Lipid Flow in courses of 3 months, followed by a 1–2 week break before resuming, based on personal preference. A short break is recommended as part of a balanced approach to long-term dietary supplement use. This pause allows you to periodically reassess your wellness ritual and goals before deciding whether to begin another cycle. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult your healthcare provider.
