The Truth About Berberine | What you need to know

I'm 71, overweight, but my blood sugar and cholestoral are good. I've lost over 60 lbs in 20 years and maintained it. I take Lisinopril/HCTZ 20/25 mg for 20 years and my blood pressure runs about 125/80. I also take prescription Vit D once a week.......I just started taking Berberine for appetite control. Last night I took it late (midnight) and had the most bizarre dream......It started out good, and even Brad Pitt wanted to be my friend. But then he disappeared and I got lost.......I got very confused and then woke up.......I'll take it much earlier - around 9 pm - but I hope Brad comes back.....

It seems there needs to be a study that isolates the LDLc lowering effects independent of the TG levels, since the human clinical studies on the cholesterol-lowering effects of berberine used subjects with diabetes. Wouldn't the reduction of TG, by its itself, also bring down LDLc? As a person with high LDLc (and ApoB), but normal TG and HbA1C, I'm curious whether berberine would help.

After testing lipids after lifestyle changes, and testing serum phytosterols to determine if one is a hyper-absorber of cholesterol (indicating Ezetimibe use) or a hyper-producer (indicating Statin or Bempadoic Acid use), and one is neither, then would Berberine work in a similar but more cost-friendly way to PCSK9 inhibitors (increasing cholesterol clearance)?

Everybody says, talk to your doctor. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What is the safety profile of Statins?

My A1C was at 7.3, even though I feel a cortisone shot is why it went to up 7.3, my PCP
put me on Metformin and after about ten days I had several bad side effects from it and had to stop taking it.
I found out about Berberine and bought it. It was 1000mg, I took it late afternoon and a few hours later had one of
the worst acid reflux reactions ever. Stopped taking it, but my PCP said I need to be taking something, because I am now
listed as a diabetic.
So, I decided to experiment, I took the capsule apart and took out the powder and made it into
a much smaller dosage, taste terrible, so now I put it in a drink so it goes down quickly with
a little bitter taste.
Only on day 5, not much to go by just yet, but so far no acid reflux or upset stomach.
In three months, hopefully I get good results.

But one thing I do know for certain, everyone's body chemistry is different, so what works for one
person, may not work for another person.
Always proceed with some caution.

Can you make a video on Chinese doctor curing diabetes using stem. Cells

Does it blunt muscle growth though?

Stain studies are not releasing the safety studies’s raw data. I’ll take make chances with BERBERINE

Stop suggesting "ancient Chinese secret", 1000 year old traditional medicine as effective simply because it is old. They also promote ground Tiger penis for impotency, and other endangered animal parts that do nothing at all. Just stick to the science.

😂 Nothing like a doctor pushing pharmaceutical drugs, and questioning what is in the supplement. Find a good brand, and take it. It works, and its better than metformin

WHATEVER ANY OF YOU DO, IN MY OPINION, ANYTHING THAT HAS FDA APPROVED ANYTHING RUN FROM IT... NONE OF THESE AGENCIES OR ADMINISTRATIONS TELL THE TRUTH. THEY HAVE NEVER TOLD YOU THE TRUTH. THIS IS ABOUT EUGENICS.... DEPOPULATION. THE NUMBER ONE DRUG THAT KILLS HUMAN BEINGS IS IN EVERYTHING....... SUGAR. PROCESSED SUGAR, DEXTROSE OR ANY "OSE". PLEASE LEARN NUTRITION. MOST "DOCTORS" ARE TRAINED VIA THE HARVARD CURRICULUM( ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION) STANDARDS... THEY SAY WHAT IS AND IS NOT TAUGHT. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE... THEY ARE DEALERS NOT HEALERS AND THEY DO GET INCENTIVES FOR USING THEIR DRUGS WHICH DO NOT CURE ANYTHING THEY KEEP YOU HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WORK AND KEEP PAYING BIG PHARMA. THE "REAL" HEALER IS WITHIN YOU....GOD.... FASTING IS THE RESET BUTTON ON YOUR BODY. JESUS DID IT HE WAS FINE RIGHT?

I have been taking Berberine for the past 6 months or so. I am prediabetic and I can see the difference in lowering my glucose, since I check it every morning, first thing. I take 1800 mg twice a day. No problems of any kind.

Berberine is extremely safe and tolerates extremely well and is very effective and has over three thousand years of studies

Unlike ozempic, which might as well have come with boring yesterday and nobody knows Jack s*** Except that they think it works well, of course, there's a small number of people who had extremely negative adverse effects like murder

It’s always Us vs Them when it comes to humans deciding what treatments they choose to ingest for their health.

No business would ever bolster another’s profits over their own.

Don’t forget, the holistic supplement industry is a multi billion dollar enterprise also.

Do your research, ask lots of questions, look for qualified scientific findings from legitimate resources & weigh up your decision from there.

Both of these multi billion dollar industries will make their profits in whatever way they can.

Some things will work for you, some won’t. You decide what pathway to take when it comes to your own & your family’s health & well being.

The best Berberine I’ve used comes from the company Melaleuca. I’ve taken their products for 24 years. @-66 I run over 18 miles a day, sometimes 27.
Never been on any medication. I’ll be happy to share detailed information with anyone interested.

Dihydroberberine is much more bioavailable. You only need 100mg twice a day. I take Double Wood brand. More expensive than berberine but no side effects coz in much smaller doses. The doc sells drugs. No pharma will do a large sample research on a supplement.

boring

Big pharma will not finance studies for altruistic reasons.

Can you please tell me do berberin help hemorrhoids to go away ? And i have bronchitis asthmatic I live north and i don’t have asthma if i’m south i have asthma 😪so do berberine is danger for people who has asthma please 🙏 please let me know because i’m 200.04 pounds and like to lost some pounds please let me know 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Dr Kim, thank you for the very informative video, just a question if I may, can you take berberine by consuming foods that have berberine rather than using supplements? I am always sceptical about supplements. Thank you.

What about for atrial fibrillation, heart rhthym?

STATINS! Cause dementia…………

He had me until he said statin.

I prefer the source barberry wood

Another paid-off pharma shill.

I take met and berberine

This works much better when you can combine it with other supplements. Thus you often don’t need as much

How to order

I have high cholesterol and took many statins; they affected my muscles so bad that I could not walk. I’ll take my changes and try it.

Beware of some brands of berberine. There's a number of companies selling fake berberine tablets (Wellness Labs, Vitamiscence, KoNefancy, and others). A couple of companies you can trust are Swanson and Now Foods.

I was given Berberine via a friend. In 3.5 weeks my BP was way down to normal, my pulse & oxygen were perfect. And I lost 10lbs in 3.5 weeks. OMG!!!! Best supplement ever. Did I mention energy? Berberine gives me extra energy.

Stop getting tested if you don’t want to end up on Pharmaceutical drugs for the rest of your life ! Live Naturally and prosper !

This is so annoying! Berberine is far better than big pharma medications.. Do not trust a doctor that tells you to stay in statins..

Minor is fair better than major. God's natural is always Best.😊

Berberine with Ceylon

My berberine arrives today, I do OMAD, eat healthy, work out and I can’t lose weight… hopefully this helps, I did my blood hormone tests and the Dr says I’m. Perfect but gained 6 kg this year just like that, my clothes are tight and I don’t want to feel like I can’t do anything to fix it

NOW brand is in the top 5. Contents 100% authentic. I use it. Positive results after 2nd day. No more dawn phenomena.

Following

Preferred Nutrition was the first brand I tried... bingo bango, works like a hot dam. One in the morning, one in the evening, and no sugar headaches/ Not that I eat any sugar or fruit or bread or? nope, can't handle the headaches/ got tested not, a diabetic? got tested, not HIV? got no idea why I can't eat anything sweet/ Dr.s give up 2 minutes in...

I wish you would cite your sources

Dr. I was taking metformine on a daily basis l had stomach pain and other side affects, so l stopped taking it now with a keto diet a bit of fasting no pasta sugar just whole foods and berberine l have reversed my type 2 diabetes it realy is a good choice but l have found that not all berberine products have in them 100 percent berberine so be aware of false labelling and only buy what works for you cheap is not always good

Sir I am taking Novothyral 100cmg t4/20mcg t3 for my hypothyroitism. Is it okay to take 1500mg berberine? Here in Germany doctors have no clue about it I dont know whom to ask

doctors dont want to know about alternative medicine,just been given metformin,but not sure if i will take it ,looking at this first

What about in addition to a statin? I was asked to increase my statin even though my LDL is 80! Trying this instead of an increase.

glad to hear your input on berberine.

Aside from being ineffective, taking berberine – even when it is high-quality – can come with some pretty unpleasant side effects. While uncommon, these side effects can include bloating, cramps, diarrhoea, constipation, and nausea

Berberine is a scam....

Did not curb my appetite
