Berberine is a compound that is found in many plants, including Oregon grape, barberry, and goldenseal. It has been the subject of much research because of its potential health benefits, especially in heart health and blood sugar regulation. It is currently gaining popularity as a supplement and medication substitute for heart-related conditions.
The two main causes of death globally are metabolic diseases (such as diabetes, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) and cardiovascular diseases (such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure).
Consequently, berberine can lower blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin or other diabetes medications. Researchers have linked the weight loss benefits of berberine's antioxidant properties to its potential to stop the formation of fat cells.

Lack of Regulation by FDA for Berberine Supplements
To verify berberine's potential health advantages, as well as its safety and effectiveness in treating a range of human illnesses, medical professionals advise against its use. Side effects such as constipation, headaches, rash, nausea, and upset stomach can occur with berberine. Prescription drugs, including those that lower blood sugar, may interact with berberine and cause harmful side effects.
The United States FDA does not regulate supplements like berberine, so it is never known how much of the active ingredient is in a product. Supplements containing berberine can vary greatly in composition, leading to confusion regarding dosage. Berberine use in pregnant women and newborns can have negative consequences.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
No effect for me when taking mg per day. I've doubled recently since it says on the package that it can be taken 2 times per day x 2 capsules, I may be seeing some results but it's dubious. The jury is still out on this one. I am not satisfied, surely I expected something more tangible...?
I'm relatively healthy. I've been also eating clean and drinking a lot of water and herbal tea. I fast a day each week. I have a moderately active occupation. And recently I increased protein intake as well and cut carbs more. What more can I do? How am I still at the same weight??? I will update the review if this does help me lose weight. So far nothing, I started taking this after I lost 30 pounds post covid era and hit a weight loss plateau, and I need to lose another 30 pounds still to get to my ideal weight.
UPDATE:
In the meantime, the seller reached out and offered me full refund. I did not accept it, but do appreciate that they were willing to stand behind the product - for which reason I am upping the rating another star. But that's not the only reason I upgraded the rating upwards... Please read on... (And it's long but I promise it's also relevant to the product.)
So, after the double dose of berberine not creating the Ozempic magic effect I had been looking for, I was inspired to bite the bullet, stop berberine for the moment, and go for moderate low carb with up to only 50grams of net carbs per day. Ahhh, whatever, I thought, let's give this a solid try - I can always stop if it's an extremely miserable experience. If you have ever struggled with weight, then you must have noticed that with carbs, most diets allow enough limited carbs to just create a constant tease. Some things I don't want to eat in moderation and they aren't even designed for moderation. The annoying "well just eat a little bit" people will never, ever understand this. And if you've tried its opposite, keto, you probably noticed that it kicks out most vegetables and easily gets boring and unsustainable. I love salads, but dude. There's not enough carb or protein allowed on keto, so there is no place to eat a true variety of vegetables, you'll be living on lettuce and cooked leafy greens. Which is fine short term, but long term psychologically miserable and unsustainable. My previous experience with keto (which demands the 75-90% calories from fat) had been being driven to insanity, wanting to eat every 2 hours and eating coconut oil by the teaspoon until I felt nauseous, and yet frustrated and feeling unsatiated. Thinking what to do, I was suddenly enlightened when at one point I laughed aloud at the keto food pie chart picture with almost 90% being basically dancing olive oil and avocadoes holding hands, and measly 5% being calories from vegetables. How did people ever take this seriously? Sorry, not sorry. It *was* funny, and was NOT giving up vegetables this time, the idea even sounded ridiculous. I had to find some happier medium.
I kicked out grains, legumes, starchy cooked vegetables like potato, and milk plus low fat dairy. I kept fruit but in very limited amounts (since it's never bothered me personally - YMMV). Started logging what I eat into an app and tracking macronutrients. I wasn't thinking about long term future like this, just about the necessity to attempt something different for "a while" if I wanted different results. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same things and expect different results. It was a good mindset - "just taking a break of carbs for a while", it helped me crush the resistance that would've normally appeared in the still addicted brain.
Net carbs (total carbs minus fiber since it doesn't convert into sugar) up to 50g per day, protein 25-35% (in the beginning it was around 35%). This was my numbers. 35% is considered high protein, but still within nutritionist guidelines, above this is extreme and I'd recommend doctor supervision for more extreme numbers. Fat would end up at whatever was left over, 45-60ish% of calories.
First three days were of course hell, but I held on. Fourth day I started seeing the end of the tunnel as my blood sugar stabilized and neurotransmitters reset a bit. I was starting to feel normal, not constantly having the urge to rummage through kitchen drawers searching for some fix like a brain rotting zombie. Do you know that sugar creates opioids in the brain? Yes... this is a scientific fact. Quitting carbs was the exact same experience as when I quit smoking years ago. That's when I knew I wasn't going back: a) because I wasn't going to go through repeated hellish withdrawals, and b) because I cared for my personal freedom.
The increased protein in the first week or two really helped me a lot. So if keto was too hard on you and you couldn't pull through the cravings before, this might be something worth trying. Now I find myself naturally leaning towards fat more than protein so my protein is around 25%+ which is moderate. Listen to YOUR unique body... I think berberine, even though it couldn't move through my insuline brick wall on its own, helped stabilize my blood sugar somewhat and helped me adapt to low carb faster than I expected. Ever since I've been on low carb (well I immediately lost a couple pounds of water, but I mean after that) I've been losing weight and circumference, it's slow and nondramatic but constant. I have a caloric deficit but eat above my basal metabolism caloric requirement, because if you don't, this kind of impatience is how you alarm your body to think that it's starving and start working against you.
So the moral of the story is, I am still glad I bought this product. But is it some magical Ozempic? Well maybe for some people, but for me it was not. I think such buzz and expectations do a disservice to the product and discourage people from trying it that actually might benefit from it. If your situation is persistent like mine, you might have to go the low carb route like me or otherwise play with macronutrients, maybe address food sensitivities, etc. to make things budge. Are you doing everything in the book, maybe stuff that worked for you before, but now, nothing's happening? Check your thyroid, if it's not thyroid, it's likely the insulin and your body's - literally - sick of carbs. You don't have to be obese. My BMI is below obesity range. You don't have to have PCOS either. Still, like me, you eventually may have to stop carbs to get things going. And the only reason this might sound scary is the ongoing sugar addiction messing with the brain. But it's not really scary.
When the body is given what it needs to heal, berberine, green tea and other stuff chips in and helps the body. I read people's experiences that sometimes even on low carb or even extreme low carb like carnivore, there won't be weight loss results for months, in some cases the body is healing first, and then it starts dropping weight when it's finally ready.
There is life after high carb, also long term health benefits of eating whole foods, reducing glycemic load, and improving your macros are far better than injecting yourself with semiglutides. So if you can't afford Ozempic, don't be jealous of these people, you can still come out a winner. You focus on cooking diversely and deliciously within your optimal parameters that work for your constitution. Staying prepared matters, I don't buy garbage when outside, I prepare healthy snacks. Watch out for secret junkified foods like garbage ingredient sugary sauces and condiments and processed meat (I mostly left bacon alone and very few sausages). Raw or roasted nuts and seeds either bought in bulk and pre measured at home, or bought in a rush will work in emergencies, or salads with grilled chicken in fast food chains, greek yogurt (plain), anyway be creative and have fun. I eat nutrient dense foods, no junk, and I focus on cooking diverse and delicious food, mostly grilled, stirfried or sauteed meats and vegetables and interesting salads.
I think positively, in the direction of including favorite beneficial foods, so at the end of the day there's little to none space left for the less beneficial. My blood sugar is evidently much more stable, I am typically not hungry in the morning, I usually eat after work, basically implementing intermittent fasting naturally as well. I try to include one different fun salad every day for nutrients and volume, sometimes with a bit of fruit, I eat all kinds of different cooked vegetables (a bit of my fav grilled onion fits in just fine!), here and there I make a quick miso soup for convenience and volume, with fish, or from meat or vegetable leftovers; plenty of fresh green tea and water, such habits make my stomach busy through volume and diversity. I "save" my carbs for tasty nuts, seeds, vegetables, sour cream or a bit of fruit! So if you focus on healthy food inclusion instead of food exclusion, by the time you eat all that, after the initial hurdles, you'll discover you're already full and need nothing else. You cannot trick the cells in your stomach lining, they don't only sense pressure/volume, they also sense the amount of nutrients, so people who eat empty calories just pump up their hunger since the body simply isn't registering that junk as food. All this stuff I had already known, I had already been a health nut for years, but a prediabetic one, and I simply didn't know that, neither did the blood test catch that my body was such a carb intolerator.
Lately I started noticing that it's not always that easy to grind up the daily calories when you don't eat sugar and starches. So I'd have to eat a little extra that I didn't even intend to, as to stay above my basal metabolic calorie requirement. That was quite unexpected..! Never ran into that "problem" before, needing to eat more than I felt hungry for! Anyhow, I don't really prefer utterly excluding entire food groups. But solely eating whole foods stopped working for my body at some point. So now I have to keep glycemic index on the low side. I am hoping that will be able to slowly reintroduce the rest of the whole food groups after I achieve my goals, to any modest amount, and within some reasonable macro ratio that my body will successfully tolerate. I am thinking legumes and whole grains sprinkled into side dishes/salads, or occasional keto dessert delicacies based off starchy vegetables and whole grain - a lot more fiber and less net carb than flour. Not that I crave it atm, I don't, just creative cooking projects to look forward to sometime in the future. But even if not, my kitchen will be fulfilling and fun regardless.
I wish everyone luck on their health and fitness journey! I'll finish the rest of berberine I have lying around for health benefits.
