Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate important safety markers related to liver- and kidney function in healthy individuals after treatment with a new formulation, LipoMicel Berberine. The main question this research aims to answer is:

Is the new formulation of Berberine (LipoMicel) with improved bioavailability safe and well tolerated in healthy individuals?

Participants will:

1. Take 1000 mg (2 capsules/d) of LipoMicel Berberine orally for a maximum period of 30 days.
2. Return to study site weekly for blood tests.
3. Keep a diary of their symptoms (collection of adverse events).
