Which brand do you use from Walmart? I purchased NOW with MTC oil but have been hearing a lot about dihydroberberine (or something similar); I’ve read it absorbs better but not sure. Want to make sure I get the best form in order to combat insulin resistance that started after gallbladder & thyroid removal. Congratulations on your great health improvements & thanks in advance for your brand/form of berberine.🤩

My medical doctor here in Canada refused to talk about Berberine. He would rather have me take a chemical than a natural supplement. I was on Ozempic for 9 months until I told my doctor I wasn't going to to take it anymore. I regained half the weight and my blood sugar skyrocketed. Now I'm on the carnivore diet, have lost 10 pounds in a week and my blood sugar is at 5.0. Goes to show you that you really need to be your own health advocate. I'm still on metformin but I'm going to ditch that as well once I go for my check up and start back on Berberine.

Thank you. I have been taking Berberine for a while. I have struggled with gut issues my entire life. I started slow. Once a day/morning/before breakfast/ 500mg/with a tiny amount of coconut oil for about 2 week. Then increased to 2xday for 2 weeks before breakfast/again before lunch/and now I am taking it 3xday before each meal. This is the first time I can ever remember not being constipated in my entire life. Weight loss? I wasn't overweight when I started, so what I noticed was my gut felt better. My appetite is normal and has been, but I feel satisfied after eating. I never get sugar cravings, although I don't consume much and what I do consume is mainly from fruit. I am a senior, I walk 60 minutes/day broken up into 3 sessions. I do not take any prescription drugs and haven't for years. To be honest I haven't even seen a doctor in over 8 years. Had a falling out which got ugly. So I never went back. This is in no way a recommendation. In my case I had to protect myself from someone very evil. That being said I am very satisfied with my Berberine journey. And thank you again for all this great information.

I’ve viewed a lot of videos on berberine and this is one of the best I’ve seen. Thanks for your clarity and thoroughness on this subject. What are your thoughts on dihydroberberine?

@DrKateLyzengaDean 2 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! Studies suggest that oral berberine is modified to dihydroberberine by the gut GI microbiome, but it's almost instantly converted back to berberine within the intestinal wall itself. Following absorption (which is very, very low) there is also extensive first-pass phase I and II liver metabolism generating a number of potential metabolites. Given the extremely low rates of berberine absorption systemically (via any form), the effect of berberine is via the gut microbiome - which doesn't require systemic absorption. At the end of the day, I recommend the form of berberine with the most/best clinical evidence - you can see my suggestions in the checklist here: www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup

I turned 58 and my body went wacky and I gained 50 pounds in one year, and I had changed NOTHING of my good organic foods, and exercise that worked for 20 years. Then all these issues surfaced at 59 to 61. I went Keto in 2018 as soon as I gained the weight, and it wasn't enough but a good practice, got me off the small amount of snacking I did. Then I had to go Ketovore because I wasn't losing weight and then a year ago went CARNIVORE. Carnivore HEALED ALL CRAVINGS, its amazing In these few years, i had high blood pressure as soon as my weight increased, I have insulin resistance and some breast issues, all in four years. I have been healing my other three bodies since the late 80s and started on my last and 4th body (the physical) in 2018. Now i am on the other side of TOTAL ENERGY LOSS 3 years ago... carnivore is working, and last month I started taking a half a pill of Berberine, until i can get down in my weight a bit more to get off my Blood Pressure medications (I am on the lowest dose). I have hope this year after losing 40 pounds with carnivore.

I am new to Berberine. I bought a bottle of it that is 14 in 1 so it has lots of stuff in with it, like cinnamon, milk thistle, dandeline, turmeric,bitter melon, fenugreek and others. I also bought a bottle of bile salts and I've been taking both at the same time with a meal as they both say to. I've been getting a pretty bad headache everytime. I'm not usually a "get a headache" kind of person. I wondered what one was causing it. After watching your video I am more convinced now it's the berberine. Any suggestions?

@DrKateLyzengaDean 28 күн бұрын

The more ingredients in a product, the harder it is to determine what's causing the side effect. Even if you stop your 14-in-1 Berberine, and the headaches go away, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the Berberine ingredient...would be useful to try a Berberine supplement that has fewer ingredients.

I just started taking 250 mg dihydroberberine with Ceylon cinnamon. Could you comment on this form of berberine?

@DrKateLyzengaDean 2 ай бұрын

Studies suggest that oral berberine is modified to dihydroberberine by the gut GI microbiome, but it's almost instantly converted back to berberine within the intestinal wall itself. Following absorption (which is very, very low) there is also extensive first-pass phase I and II liver metabolism generating a number of potential metabolites. Given the extremely low rates of berberine absorption systemically (via any form), the effect of berberine is via the gut microbiome - which doesn't require systemic absorption. At the end of the day, I recommend the form of berberine with the most/best clinical evidence - you can see my suggestions in the checklist here: www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup

Because berberine works with your body and microbiome to support multiple facets of weight management, we don't really see a "rebound" in weight gain like with GLP-1 drugs.

P.s. Magnesium stearate is safe in small doses - after all, it's naturally occurring in food (like chocolate!) and is sometimes essential for making sure the potency of supplements is maintained...it's not just a "filler" like some folks seem to think. Hope that helps!

I was looking into Ozempic, but I am terrified of the face-ruining effects (I'm 41 and have no fine lines, and I'd like to keep it that way), so I think I'll give this a try to lose some weight. I'd like to lose about 30 pounds, but I am so busy at work that I have no time for myself or to really exercise. I hope this will jump start the weight loss/ help to regulate all the out of whack cortisol levels that I'm sure are making a mess for me.

I've read that dihydroberberine is a better, bio-available source of Berberine. Is there a reason why you recommend berberine hcl instead?

@DrKateLyzengaDean 2 ай бұрын

Good question! I recommend Berberine HCL because it has the most (and highest-quality) clinical evidence for efficacy! Also, Berberine's bioavailability is extremely low - like, less than 1% - no matter the form. It's action is likely via the gut microbiome, which doesn't require systemic absorption. So, I go with the form that has the most evidence of actual results.

@toothfqiry 2 ай бұрын

I read there are less secondary effects because it's doesn't need to breakdown like the regular. I just ordered it but just started the regular one but just 1 x day to start.
