Endurance Products Company has been providing premium dietary supplements for over four decades to support the highest quality of life. Time-tested, customer approved, and well-loved around the world.

Our founder, Terry Hammerschmidt, a biochemist and former collegiate athlete,
developed our unique sustained-release technology in the late 1960s.
With experience as a technical director in the pharmaceutical industry, Terry saw the advantages
of controlled-release medications and applied this concept to vitamins and supplements.

By the 1980s, Harvard scientist Dr. Frank Sacks researched the effects of niacin on cholesterol. He discovered that Hammerschmidt’s unique vegetable wax matrix technology reduced the common side effect of “flushing,” a temporary redness and warmth that feels like a mild sunburn and lasts about 30 minutes. This study not only highlighted the ability of niacin to support healthy cholesterol balance, but it also showed significantly reduced flushing. As a result, our innovative wax matrix technology gained recognition from researchers at multiple universities. Our controlled release technology became popular for its ability to provide a slow, steady release of nutrients. Over time, it has led to over 23 published studies in collaboration with esteemed institutions such as:

• Harvard
• The University of California
• The University of Minnesota

• Oregon Health & Science University
• Brown University
• Iowa State

• Utah State
• West Virginia University
• and others internationally

Approximately 7.4 million adult Americans take insulin to manage their diabetes. That is over 37 million Americans living with this debilitating health challenge. Many more also require insulin for the treatment of type-1 diabetes. This is where the body doesn’t produce insulin on its own.

  • The National Diabetes Statistics Report provides up-to-date information on the prevalence and incidence of risk factors.
  • While data and reports can help to focus efforts to prevent and control diabetes across the United States and globally, there are clinically substantiated natural options that can impact human lives right now.

What is the insulin hypoglycemic effect?

  • An insulin-independent hypoglycemic effect refers to the lowering of blood sugar levels without the involvement of insulin. This can occur through various mechanisms, including increased glucose uptake by tissues, decreased glucose production by the liver, or modifications to insulin sensitivity. 
  • The ability of berberine to regulate blood glucose has been widely studied. Its insulin-independent, hypoglycemic effect is mainly attributed to its ability to inhibit oxidation in the mitochondria, stimulate glycolysis, and activate the AMPK pathway that transports glucose into peripheral tissues.
  • Berberine also inhibits alpha-glucosidase, an intestinal enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into monosaccharides. In newly diagnosed patients with type-2 diabetes, berberine is reported to lower blood insulin levels via enhancing insulin sensitivity. However, in patients with poor beta-cell function, berberine may improve insulin secretion via resuscitating exhausted islets.
  • With the unique wax-matrix tablet this highly bioavailable, berberine formulation provides a sustained, slow, and steady release over 5 to 7 hours.
