#Berberine #Health #Drugs
If big pharma is worried about it, it works.
😂 That Part!! They’ll Say ANYTHING To Make Their Money! Smh
It is a Chinese herb medicine. Stealing everything from China.
sadly it doesnt work, i tried berberine and it doesn't curb my hunger at all unlike metformin
Are you very overweight, do you take 500mg twice a day directly after eating, have you tried it for at least 7 weeks. Because the way it worked for me was changing my eating habits but only after roughly 2 months of taking it. Yes I could still snack if I wanted but it helped me firstly cut back on snacking them cut the size of meals that satisfied me in half. I at times have to force myself to eat.sorry it did not work for you as it has absolutely changed my life. I have not lost a lot of weight. Only about 10lbs in 7 months but that has been from my belly fat. Maybe you need to give it more time and at the same time actively acknowledge your lack of appetite. Just so many good benefits to be had.
Facts. Like the guy who got a brain tumour, took worm tablets prescribed for children and hey presto, it disappeared. Not saying this is a magic bullet but still a classic example of alternate remedies for desperate people.
Of course doctors don't recommend it.
THEY DON"T MAKE MONEY OFF IT.
Facts
Exactly.
💯
Big pharma puts out these CZcams ads.
🔥🔥🔥🤷🏿♀️
I like how NBC News makes it a point to say that berberine is not FDA regulated as if that makes it bad. The FDA doesn't regulate any nutritional supplements, so it's misleading by omission.
Yes they do 😂
@@charlotteswebbingExplain, please.
Fact..the FDA does NOT regulate nutritional supplements ..they do ZERO testing , ZERO research.
@@charlotteswebbing Natural supplements are not regulated by the FDA.
Y'all ask the one that originally made the post and read it 😂
Don’t forget that’s Harvard medical who came up with the food pyramid and today 80 percent of Americans are either pre-diabetic or diabetic as a result. Yet two generations prior, most people were fit and healthy!
I didn't know the food pyramid came from Harvard. This explains a lot. Create a supply so the demands for doctors coming out of it can be fulfilled.😂
Well that was never based on true science and was decades ago. It was also funded by the dairy industry I believe.
Also future generations will be born with problems as a result.
@@matthewwilliams3827 That could very well be the case.
😮😮😮😮😮😮
My husband takes this for 3 weeks now. He lost weight doing carnivore diet but berberine lower his blood sugar and A1C. He no longer diabetic and no longer taking meds
What brand did he use?
@@thelma.brittain Mike from youtube recommended it. His channel is called high intensity health. Made in US
dose?
@@chantelle5170 the bottle says 3 caps a day. So he takes it after his dinner before bed
I tried to post the amazon link here but CZcams wont allow
The first week I took Berberine I had a doctor's appointment; I had taken it for three days; at the appointment my blood pressure was normal for the first time in 3 years. Coincidence? Still investigating, in my second week now.
Hi how's it going? Are you still seeing those changes?
Be careful with trusting Dr's BP readings. I've caught 3 different Dr offices making up my BP saying it was perfect. I ask them to recheck because it's usually high then they give me the real number the 2nd time.
Update please
Well high blood pressure a lot of times is also related to insulin resistance so it could be correcting that.
Update?
I have been taking berberine since January 2021. I lost 38 pounds adding this. Some things to watch for is chelation of iron, liver enzymes going up and kidneys getting a lil to healthy to the point of being on the low low side of tests. I also did an Intestinal ISO enzymes test and it was 0 because of the berberine. The good things are my CRP is 1, my fasting insulin got to an 8, Cholesterol numbers went down ,HDL went up, NO more joint pains , Rosacea flare ups lessened. So many benefits to BERBERINE. It is a very powerful herb.
Which brand
@@teresareesman9364 I was taking Thorne Berberine but they changed the formula to a phytosome to increase absorption with sunflower, pea and grape seed extract. I find it's not working for me so i am trying something else. The Nutricost one and I have Himalaya for subscribe and save.
@@amberlynn72NutriVein version has HCL and cinnamon
Garden of Life is great as is NOW @@teresareesman9364
May I ask how much or how many did you take? I’m a pre diabetic and I want to take it too.
Yes, it does work! I don't know about the weight loss aspect, but it's help my brother who takes it for Type 2 Diabetes.
I'm so glad it helps your brother. ❤
thats wonderful !
A. Walker,
When does your brother take it, and what dosage? Thank you.
I started taking berberine for skin health. I did not know it suppresses appetite. Recently I noticed that I have no cravings for anything, then I came across this video which made sense of everything now.
Did you notice any skin benefits?
Same. I took two pills on Friday but plain ol' forgot about it. I was wondering why I had no appetite this weekend. I did eat as usual but only because it's a habit. By the time my Berberine order arrived in the mail, I had forgotten what it was supposed to do. Gonna take it again on Monday and see if it helps me not spend money on lunch.
well, if she's NOT eating McDonalds - her skin will get better ! @@PeaceNinja007
I need to stop eat
It is amazing
Most doctors are so tied to big pharma they will discourage the use of any OTC supplement.
I have used berberine for several months down with keto and berberine 90 lbs
What was the name of your supplement?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Congratulations
I started taking Berberine for Cholesterol and Triglycerides' improvement. I've only been on it about five days now, but I have noticed my knees are not aching like they used to when I am sitting down watching TV. I also noticed I no longer have uncontrollable cravings for carbs or sweets.
Hi how much Berberine do you take and how its going right now?
I would like to know too, thanks@@clemensh6214
Did it work for lowering your cholesterol?
@@larryc1616people have seen it lower LDL.
I take 500mg UK manufactured, best decision ever. 500mg once a day with evening meal. Lost about 20lb over 6 months but mostly notice it comes off my belly.
Berberine has been used for years/decades to prevent insulin resistance when on HGH so I'm pretty sure it works
People have also nailed others in the head for decades for headaches and it didn't work
@@samvandervelden8243 ehhh but a simple blood test can show it is working
@@questlive2338 I would have to see research to believe that it works, anecdotes are extremely unreliable
I use it because i take mk677
@@iwatchfamilyguyWhat is Mk67?
The Berberine side effects are less severe than those of ozempic.
Been taking 500mg 1x a day, all the benefits those on over 200mg a day experience. This supplement needs to be prescribed by doctors, there are no side effects if you eat something before taking. 6 month of taking now.
An Atomic Bomb has less side effects than ozempic
Her before and after pictures show zero difference.
Lol I know
Lol perhaps she was just showing off her gym outfits? 😂
I disagree. It shows different color leggings lol.
Lol
Facts
I am a type 2 ,and this with ceylon cinnamon has made a big positive change in my glucose readings,I am about 1 month in,have been on metformin for 5 years, this is a game changer for me!
Great to hear! What brand do you use? I’m looking to start berberine.
I’m also type 2. When exactly do you take berberine in terms of meals and medication? Is it before/ after breakfast and dinner? I take my metformin after these meals, so I don’t know if that is OK.
The most effective treatment for type 2 diabetes is weight loss. The most effective way to lose weight is on a glp-1 agonist like ozempic if you can afford it
@@lokichakraMotivational Doc and Dr Berg have good channels and info on it
Do you take the supplement with your medication?
I've lost 7 lbs. In 4 weeks, (I'm also walking 5 days a week), among other additional health benefits and I feel great. It's helping my anxiety and depression too. So...
L-Glutamine is great for anxiety and depression: my holistic doctor calls it "the happy pill" .
You're right Kristen, I've lost 10 lbs by taking berberine. After figuring out I was pre diabetic, I started taking meformin, but switched to berberine, because it has few to no side effects. Some days I fast or eat low carb and don't take anything, but on days when I eat high carb, I take the berberine 30 minutes before meals and it keeps my blood sugar low. I'm a Williams too, so after seeing your name, I had to respond lol. As you probably know, there are more Williams in the phone book than just about any other name. Our ancestors must have been multiplying like rabbits lol. Have you tried zinc and methyl B12 for depression? Zinc is needed for serotonin production binding and uptake and B12 is required for the synthesis of serotonin.
@guncontrolisusingbothhands2331 That's interesting! I haven't tried zinc, but I do take a super B complex. Yes, there are a LOT of Williams' in the world 😊 We come from greatness! LOL I am happy to say I have reached my goal, thanks to help from the Berberine! I've lost 18 lbs, I'm at 135 lbs. and I'm tickled pink! I'm going to continue to take it, however, because of all of the benefits and to help maintain...
@@kristenwilliams3632 Whatever you're doing is working, because you look great. You're a very pretty woman. Speaking of Berberine, I just remembered to take it. Your message helped me remember to take it, thanks for reminding me. I usually take it on the weekends and during the week do intermittent fasting and low carb. My weakness is I love french fries, hamburgers, and pizza lol. Thankfully I can now eat those things and take Berberine to keep it from spiking my blood sugar and storing the sugar into fat. I've done some experimenting and found that if I take Berberine 30 minutes before eating a high carb meal, my blood sugar stays normal. I've only been eating high carb on the weekends, but since Berberine works so well, I might start adding more carbs during the week. Anyway, enough about food, do you live in the US? As you mentioned there are alot of Williams worldwide, so I wasn't sure if you lived in Europe?
Can you please tell me what brand u use?
My a1c has been high all my life, it's a normal thing that runs in my family. It makes it very hard to lose weight. I just started Berberine and will see what happens in 30 days. Excited to not have to take Ozempic or metformin
Hi how is it going? Have you seen any changes? If so, what are they?
I would like to know as well
Hello, do you have an update?
I have been taking them for several years. I was pre diabetic one month or so A1C 5.8. I took this supplement everyday. 3 months later it went down to 5.4. No weight loss ever but I am not overweight. Tried lowest dose Ozempic for 6 weeks and lost 15lbs (surprised). Reason to lose the weight was to fit into my smaller clothes that I love and have. Berberine everyday!
I have used it for years and it does work
What these professional ding-bats Don't Say is : Berberine will allow you to DRIVE RIGHT BY a McDonalds or Taco Bell on an empty stomach.
At the price fast food charge nowadays….im driving past them too😂
Wow I thought I was the only one that suddenly had no cravings for snacks or a quick burger. I can sometimes go a full day without eating more than 1 slice of toast when I take my 500mg tablet every evening. My diabetes has improved so much even after stopping metformin.
It works 🎉 has many benefits for cardiovascular as well.
Unless some sort of revenue generating patent can be applied to a compound in berberine, it is very unlikely that any pharmaceutical company will spend a dime on any large-scale study as to its effectiveness. Saying there are no large studies regarding berberine is true, but unless money is spent on the necessary research, we just won't know except for the testimonials of people who think it does provide some benefit.
No, saying no large studies from the FDA may be true, but smaller holistic labs study their plant medicine. It should be up to the consumer to decide who to trust and nowadays I can assure you that big pharma connected FDA has lost ground due to the blatant greed and disregard for human life over profit. We are not stupid, we are just human beings trying to survive in a system that believes that humans are a commodity to be used as pawns in the Hunger Games that were already planned centuries ago. The system may win here, temporarily, but in the end the system is destroyed by God almighty. It has been prophesied for over 2,000 years. The time is drawing near.
Always, always, always - if a major network looks something which could possibly be used in place of a patented pharmaceutical, they throw shade on it. That doctor's objections to the supplement were either mundane or spurious, or could also apply to the pharma drug.
Don't think we haven't recognized what a large percentage of media income comes from pharma ads.
Especially Ozempic!
AMEN!
I for one stopped taking metformin, cholesterol tablets and blood pressure tablets. Imagine one tablet doing more than those three. Cost for pure berberine is £8.99 for 180 tablets or half a years supply. Pharma will find something wrong with berberine or buy up all manufacturers. This could cost them trillions in profits a year.
I love how everyone is so alert know it’s so amazing to see
I've been taking Berberine for over 5 years to treat blood sugar issues. It works just as good as Metformin for me without all the terrible side affects Metformin has. I've never had an issue of any kind taking Berberine.
Steve,
How are you doing now, and are you still taking Berberine? Thank you.
I don’t know if I have lost weight… it’s only been 5 days on Berberine. But my morning glucose has come down from 156 to 135! 😊
Update… I have lost 7 lbs! And my glucose is now down to 104. I made a video about it. Love this stuff
@@FoodiesFoodLifeI just started on it today. I’m perimenopausal and have a relentless sweet tooth so I’m hoping this will help 🙏🏾
@@nikkiknows1545 for me it kicked in at about 6 weeks. It really slows down my hunger. I’ve been on it for 2 months
Did u take it with ur diabetes meds?
@@MrNonoy75 I refuse to take diabetes meds… which is why I started taking Berberine
Lol they always say this when it’s dealing with natural supplements
I been taking it for a weeks now the good thing about it if you eat too much sugary stuff, boy does this supplement bring blood sugar levels down. Don’t take it if you plan to hit the gym or do other activities because you will feel sluggish. Take it with a meal maybe mid day or before bedtime. Take Benfotamine as well. Amazing results.
Nx. Good advice.
What is Benfotamine?
literally everyone at my high school is talking about berberine now
Really ???? wow . Teens back in my day would take those "drug store" appetite suppressants .
I have been taking it for a years before it became viral😅😅......and no negative effect for my body.....and the benefit for my blood sugar tests are always good
What brand do you use?

Well which one then
@@jmemixx thorne research brand
@@jmemixxToniiq is the brand that I use with results

I hit a weight loss plateau. I eat right, intermittent fast, add in 40hr fasts every week or two but still ce to a halt so I tried myoxcience pure berberine 500mg, 3-4x a day and I've broken through that wall. Not drastically but definitely.
I also use curcumin, creatine and ashwagonda for inflammation, mental clarity and mood stabilizing.
That's not advice, just information. ❤️good luck on your journey!
I've read that
This 'news' station reports sensational headlines and doesn't resent all the facts. They want you to think a certain way so they sell you the stories with intent.
How much do you take? I’ve been on awhile and not seeing any changes. Also you said curcumin for inflammation? I think my inflammatory diseases are causing this to backfire so may need to add to it
Will try thks
I started Berberine yesterday but i had a headache after taking it today so im reducing my dose tomorrow
Day 2.. I had a headache this morning too. ..
The government has not got to berberine yet. Great stuff! Just ordered mine!
After covid, everything that the matrix says, do the opposite
Does it reverse grey hairs back to black???
Grow up!
I’m on my third week. It has controlled my appetite where before i never got full so i ate and ate. Hoping this will help my insulin resistance and in turn help weight loss
Definitely will help insulin resistance.
I noticed the appetite suppressant effect too
I at times realise all I had to eat during the day was a slice of toast with my capsule as I always do. Even now lying in bed and I realised I have not eaten today. Whereas before I was eating all the time.
Brought to you by the pharmaceutical industry that makes trillions selling you Metformin
The before and after pictures look the same but I do believe in this supplement
7lbs tiny loss claimed, zero diffetence in before/after pics. Her gut probably just got caught on the towel rack when weighing herself.
@@stephengallagher2209I take the 1200mg and I’ve loss weight with it I went from 221 to 217 to 214 my next weigh in is next month it works
What an overall awful piece and the Harvard Doctor was no better. Berberine has been around a long time and its benefits are numerous. Do your own research. It is not a weight loss pill, primarily. Google benefits of Berberine.
No money for Pharma here ...
I can lose 7lb in a week by switching to a smaller plate. IF it dont if on the plate then you cant eat it. I used a 4in plate for dinner and i lost 20lb in a month and felt great. Was only hungry for 3 days then my stomach got smaller and then i just felt full and normal. Still Skinny at 30 because i just don't eat as much. The portion sizes are massive at restaurants and can feed 2 people.
Hi! Your opinion is important. We know how difficult it is to overcome this problem. There are many other natural supplements that support weight loss. Visit Best References Of Purchase for detailed reviews on similar products and find a new angle to consider.
Really nice to see BerBerine 500 mg in the National library of science.
Been talking for a week. I’m not hunger. 1 good meal a day. Plus workout.
It works yes. I'm proof. Dr's some will discourage you. You are your own Dr. I'm so happy with berberine thank God
Agreed, so thankful I found berberine! It’s making a huge difference in my willpower. I’m able to control cravings and stick to my diet. Almost down 20lbs in 7 weeks
Berberine made me deathly I’ll. No one is talking about the horrible side effects.
I've been taking it for a month now. I felt results immediately the same day. My blood sugar problem turned into type 2 diabetes and berberine has stabilized my glucose and insulin. I felt better right away. It's also helped in many other areas including gut health
Robert,
Which brand do you take? Thank you.
@@skinnydee1886 Berberine Lipomicel 500mgs by Natural Factors..
It isn't nature's Ozempic. It's nature's Metformin.
Berberine has always been compared to metformin, not Ozempic. The benefit of berberine is blood glucose control. Like metformin, that glucose control can help in losing nagging, stubborn weight.
Chinese medicine has used berberine for thousands of years. I love when westerners “discover” “brand new”supplements.
This is a GOOD THING , because we no longer have to travel into a "Chinatown" in some city and seek out a place that may not speak English.
I reversed my Diabetes 5 years ago and lost 35 lbs. Don't listen to the media this plant has been around before television 😅
The before and after look the same
Has anybody ever used this for lowering cholesterol? I’ve heard it works..
It lowered mine . But I was also eating better while I was on this. NO FAST FOOD or STARCH !
Try Megared krill oil to lower cholesterol.
@@LannieLord LOL you basically swallowed four pills - so thanks for confirming the obvious in those scams - it works because people tend to be more active and eat less or watch more what they eat in combination of taking them - so your results are not from using this hyped garbage, but instead, your lifestyle changes.
It works for me
I've been on it for over 6 months and have had no changes at all that I noticed. I'm still going to take it.
Which brand are you taking?
it's been used in Chinese medicine for a long time... there are many human clinical research in the published literature...
I just read a clinical study about the benefits of taking 500 mg Berberine in morning and night along with (Strand) Probiotics. The results did ameliorate (improve) renal function (kidney disease) & lowered cholesterol & A1C went down in patients with type2 diabetes & much more. I was extremely impressed with the results.
My mom takes berberine for a long time; since she had high blood pressure from giving birth and she's loves it.
It depends heavily on the individual and his / her metabolic system. Everyone is different and reacts differently. Some show absolutely no benefit whatsoever.
I tried berberine. My heart did not like it at all. It was causing a feeling of irregular beating at night and I think it may have caused a small clot in my head or neck that eventually passed. I had a pain in the right upper area of my head. I stopped right away.
Omg really why do you say the clot
Where did you get it. I heard something similar from someone else. Turns out it wasn't authentic Berberine. It was like cut with something.
You know who doesn’t want you to buy it? Ozempic manufacturers.
I am 51 in the middle of menopause and I changed my diet completely: no white flour, no sugar, no artificial sweeteners. I eat mainly proteins and work out 5 times a week bt since I am on Berberine I shed the last really resistant kilos ;-) It works very well with good nutrition and gym, my gut is feeling so much better, I also see a smaller waistline. Curious how this will continue...
It always amazes me when doctors put down natural supplements and goes about the side effects but they are more than happy to prescribe medication like Ozempic that is a synthetic drug with tons of side effects. Does make one wonder why?💵💵💵💵💵💵
The before and after looked identical. I even thought the After photo was the Before. Girl just lost water weight lol.
It astounds me that media dies not do its due dili. 1. It lowers glocose 2. It lowers LDL. 3. Its been used in other countries for eons. Berberine was used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine around 3000 BC
7lbs could easily just be water weight.
Can it help with weight loss and cholesterol reduction ?
It curbs "McDonalds cravings" , no joke !!
@@LannieLord😂😂😂 yes
That "doctor" was clearly on the Big Harma payroll.
How do you use it
I’m curious though the only supplement I’ve seen work for weight loss is CLA.
This legit has drastically reduced my recreational and compulsive hunger. When I'm hungry, I eat, but I think about food sooooo much less. It almost feels like I'm more reluctant to eat. Which as someone who had addictive snacking tendencies, is good news. It's honestly, a huge surprise. I also eat a healthy wfpb vegan diet.
With all supplements you need to trust the company that makes it. All companies that sell legitimate products have them 3rd party tested. Berberine does a lot of great things it’s up to you to make sure you are getting a high quality supplements.
I was using berberine before it became viral in TikTok (don't use it btw). As a person with a family history of diabetes, my blood sugar is always normal as opposed to my sister. She's prediabetic, so I'm trying to get her on Berberine. She has a problem with consistency tho. 🤷
Why are you saying not to take it?
@@coolandgood1010 I meant don't use TikTok. But definitely use berberine to prevent diabetes.
@@jacklan4103you should edit your comment to say don’t use tik tok
I started taking it for my autoimmune disease Lichen Planus. Nothing else works. I've tried everything. We'll see if there is any improvement.

Anything???
I've been taking it for 15 weeks and I have lost 1lb a week without changing anything else. That's 15lbs of fat gone. I have had a few headaches, but nothing bad. Fasting Blood Sugar is down also. I would say anyone with high fasting blood sugar (Above 100) should try it. One pill before your two biggest meals of the day. For me 1 for breakfast and one for dinner.
@Eveproguides which one?
@@melissar.8704 Nutriflare
Update... It worked for about 20 weeks then the weight loss stopped. It's been well over 20 weeks and I've lost 21 pounds but it's not moving anymore. I've stopped taking it for a while and may try again in a month or two to see if my system just got used to it.
What brand did you use?
Here's a free weight loss supplement, fresh air. Get up and walk 1 mile, 5280 feet, 6 days a week, don't drink soda, or fast food. It's free. However, it requires effort. The one thing most lack.
It's so sweet when you start getting rid of that unwanted weight. I lost 42 pounds in about 12 weeks and have kept it off since then. My main issue was that I exercised daily, but struggled with my calorie intake. It was just impossible for me to eat less. It felt like I wasn't in control of my actions. My journey got 10x easier when I started taking Phenq pills. Eating less became possible, it felt as though my hunger disappeared and I also had enough energy to exercise. Best feeling ever 😊
Obvious advertising.
My case. So not obvious adretizing@@DaylanTheAngrySauerkraut
42 pounds in three months 😂 bs
very good
I actually have taken this off an on again for years to settle gastrointestinal issues. It works for that. I've read that it controls blood sugar. Maybe it works for weight too. Nothing works the same foe everyone. Not even asprin.
For me it does level appetite and controls weight.
It’s help lower cholesterol
I've been taking this for a few months ive had no side effects
Why would I trust anything the FDA does after the last few years?
They require strict testing on legitimate pharmaceuticals that has kept us reasonably safe since the inception of the FDA. Supplements, being totally unregulated may contain anything at all and the consumer has no recourse.
I have been taking this for about 3 weeks, and other than a yellow tint to my stool I haven't seen any improvement in weight loss or blood sugar
Switch brands
I see no difference in the lady in this video.
lol bodybuilders have been using berberine since the 1970s. Talk about late to the party 🤦🏾♂
Bodybuilders take everything that looks like a pill and fear none of that stuff 😂
It's work for me very well i love it 💓
Great so now those of us who need for diabetes can’t get it
Lost 4 pounds in a week & half just taking it once a day with my biggest meal no changes to exercise or diet. No side effects.
B4 a meal or do u take it after the meal
I started taking berberine 2 weeks ago and it has left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth. Anything I eat or drink will not get rid of that awful bitter taste. Has anyone experience that side effect? I don't know if I can keep on taking it.
Hi! Berberine is itself very bitter. Try taking it before a meal.

@@maraoniga1548 Thanks. I tried it before and during the meal. It's been 5 days since I stopped and the bad taste is still present. I gave up, this is way to awful.
I would try another brand.
That make sense to me yesterday I had made a soup and I was telling my husband my food taste sweet and today I had my morning coffee and and it was tasty funny now I know us the pill .lol because I started the pill last night so yes it is the pill
2:08 why would anyone want to use diet supplements doing pregnancy? SMH…pregnancy fat should not be forcefully controlled.
Berberine hasn’t been an appreciate suppressant for me, but my lipids were perfect in my last labs.
Oh yeah.... so that's why i havent been hungry all weekend. I took two pills on friday and just flat out forgot about it. I did eat, but it was purely out of habit. I only felt hungry on Sunday evening. Gonna try this again on Monday.
Lost 12 kg in a month… you can talk whatever your pharma is paying you to talk
Hello which brand did you use?
If you can can you pls write the dosages you took and what time of day?before meal, after meal?and if you exercised? thank youuu
@@chirine8728 hi there. I will enclosed the change at that I have made. I quit alcohol; I continue to eat only 8 hours per day and eat 1500 calories; I started to take thyroid supplements for low functional thyroid; I started to take two pills before food Berberine/ Or Cinnamon and Chrome/ or ACV pills with chromium or Bitter Mellon. The last supplements are very inexpensive but help control of the insulin and provide proper metabolic process for the sugar. Do not forget to take magnesium and vitamin D
It has reduced my appetite
No difference in size before and after
I see zero differences in their "influencer"
My doc prescribed Metformin and a statin but I’m thinking of not taking either and taking berberine instead.
I took berberine for a few weeks but it caused a lot of intestinal and digestive discomfort. I had to stop it.
Same here my stomach is sluggish and won’t digest a full meal. I’ve been off it a week and still have problems
I wasn’t expecting it to do anything therefore it was a surprise when I realised two days in that it almost completely killed my appetite. No side effects but I do need to remember to eat and plan to eat as I find myself not craving anything or thinking about food. I take 500 mg before lunch and dinner.
I started taking it after I read the paper of a proper peer reviewed scientific study on the effects of berberine on arterial plaques. Then I found some more papers where the safety and other properties were explored with proper scientific method. I don't take the word of internet influencers. I read the papers from real scientific studies. Often the statistics in medical studies are not done well and because of my job I happen to know statistical methods well and can usually see the flaws in the studies. Berberine seems to be pretty safe and has a well documented and studied effect on plaque and some plausible mechanistic explanation of why it works like that although there are probably a number of other biochemical interactions going on. Before starting, I got a scan showing I had moderate plaque, better than is expected for my age, but now I have a baseline and in a few months I will get another scan and if it improved, great. If not, then I will stop taking it since it was ineffective for me.
