Berberine has been truly miraculous for me. A1c from 7.2 to 5.5 morning blood sugars 88-110. I had not had a blood sugar below 100 in years. I get 400mg tablets from Swanson. I take either 3 or 4 a day (1,2,1 or 1,1,1) Only side effect was some slight abd discomfort which cleared up after a couple of weeks. I couldn't understand why this is not more well known. The only think I could figure o...

Berberine says it helps maintain a healthy blood sugar lever. It does not say it lowers blood sugar. I has done nothing for me and I am taking 900MG a day

Started Berberine two weeks ago, after taking Metformin for 2days before with terrible side effects. The Berberine has kept my weight down and glucose down. I have seen many comments and wanted to say, be careful of the brands with other supplements mixed in. I advise to take a Berberine HCL product. Do your research on products. Mine is working well at 1200mg daily Bio nutrition. And Low carbs 50-100 daily, no Bread/starch products, lots of water. Exercise walking mornings 2 miles.

I take 500mg once daily for PCOS. The effects I have experienced after taking it are severe, including feeling anxious and hyperventilation. Anxious feelings last for hours. Hyperventilation lasts only for a few minutes. I take Berberine 500mg by Thorne Research.

The use of 400mg berberine 2X daily is just as effective, if not more so, of 500mg Metformin 2X daily to control my blood glucose level. I am type 2 diabetic. My fasting glucose runs consistently between 100-110 and I am on no special diet.

Rather than insulin, I started using berberine and salacia oblonga 500 mg 3 times a day before meals. My blood sugar dropped significantly but wanted to see A1C results before commenting here. In 90 days, AIC went from 11 to 6.8. Dr says to keep at it, she is pleased. Beats 4 shots of insulin daily which was initial prescription.

I have had a severe staph infection under my armpit and had this treated at a hospital, so I know what staph infections feel like. I had researched before what Berberine can do and found out it treats staph infections too! So this time when I got a staph infection (again after working outside in my garden) I took berberine and that burning pain under my skin near my knee cap is subsiding and I feel a hundred percent better. Fantastic to wake up feeling so much better!! I can't say enough about this Berberine as it has really helped me!! And it is more natural!Read More Read Less

I have lowered my total cholesterol by 51 points from 261 to 210 and my ldl from 177 to 127 and my non hdl From 198 to 149 points under Dr. Supervision with very slight diet change. Drs. were impressed. Cardiologist still agreeing to hold off starting Rapatha at my request as long as I continue to reduce the numbers.

I have now lowered my A1-C from 9.9 to 6.9 am thankful to have found this. I'm allergic to most drugs out there and this really works for me. I have found my cholesterol levels have gone down too. Hoping that all will continue to work as I've lost 20 lbs on it and am holding steady with no weight gain.

I developed type 2 diabetes recently and also was diagnosed with Hep C, I just finished hep c meds and have been very worried about my liver and kidneys. The medication they put me on effects both so I decided to try Berberine. I am down to one RX pill a day for diabetes now instead of 2. My blood sugar has been very good and I have noticed my blood pressure is also better but am afraid to go off of those just yet. It took about a week to see any change but so far so good.

I posted a few weeks ago on the berberine and would like to update my progress. I've lowered my A1-C from 8.4 to 7.7 which is a great drop. I'm having a bit of an increase in numbers right now but I'm sick so that always makes them go higher. I'm VERY pleased with this product and will continue to use it.

My A1C was 7.4 and within 7 months that I've been using berberine, my A1C went down to 5.7. It really works for me.

I was vacationing in China and Japan. Somewhere along the way I ate some bad food. I had very bad diarrhea and a low grade fever for several days. It cleared up within a day or 2 taking the Berberine. Just in time for my return to home, otherwise they might have thought I had Zika or something, and not let me back in the country.
