Berberine is one of the most powerful weight loss supplements out there because it acts on some of the most fundamental issues that precipitate weight gain.
What makes it ideal is that it has a broad range of benefits, is well-tolerated, and can be used in conjunction with other weight loss supplements and medications.
Here's how it can help you lose weight:
1. By improving insulin sensitivity. Berberine has been shown in at least 1 study to have an equal impact on blood sugar as the prescription medication metformin.
2. By increasing the density of mitochondria in your muscle cells. Increasing muscle function is critical to burning more calories.
3. By activating brown fat tissue. Brown fat tissue helps regulate your heat production and metabolism and berberine can help you brown white fat.
4. By reducing inflammation. Reducing inflammation helps balance fat-storing hormones like leptin.
5. By improving gut health. There is a connection between gut health and your ability to stay lean and berberine can help clean up your microbiome from unwanted bacterial overgrowth syndromes.
The ideal dose of berberine is somewhere between 500 mg all the way up to 2,000 mg taken each day. You will want to split the dose taking half in the morning and half in the evening.
Most people are fine taking 1,000 mg per day but you may want to take more if you are trying to treat issues like diabetes or insulin resistance as well.

I’ve lost 102 lbs in the last year and a half after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Berberine is part of my plan along with low carb, fasting, acv and lifting weights - nir light, vibraplate, hypnosis, etc 😅 but it’s been easy this time! It’s still coming off and I’ve never been on other meds for type 2, plus A1C is coming down.

I have been on Berberine since Jan. Off and on intermittent fasting, watching my carbs, trying not to eat late at night. I am down 12 pounds. Have not lost weight like this since in my 20s. It works slow but it works. When I stick to my IF, low carb, no late night snacking and Berberine that is when the weight drops faster. No side effects for me. Good luck all!

Same. I've had some issues with hormones and I've come the conclusion I'm IR and I have PCOS (but doctors have been failing me with help of hormones and such). I also think my body is just more sensitive to carbs. I have lowered my carbs, take many supplements including berberine since April and I've lost 10-12lbs. I don't fast anymore because it stresses me out more, unfortunatley. I have found over the last few weeks I'm fuller after smaller meals than I use to be.

Consider going on the Keto diet, if you want to lose weight faster. Eliminate sugar, and keep your carb intake at thirty grams a day or lower. I lost forty pounds last year, and at age 65, I am now down to the weight I was at in my 20s. I feel extraordinarily better! I am not doing Keto now, but I'm taking Berberine daily, and maintaining my lower weight with ZERO struggle or deprivation. If I start gaining weight at some point, I'll just go back to full Keto, and keep Berberine in the plan. Be well, and prosper!

I never thought supplements could help as much as they have! With the two supplements I’m on now alone, I’ve lost a good amount of weight..one pair of my shorts looks like i can almost fit my body in one leg hole of my shorts!! 😂prior I couldn’t lose a pound, and I was 300+ lbs… 😢nothing I tried helped, nothing.

@@cherrellsumbler85 the chromium I’ve run past my health provider, she’s looking to add it, but I must be careful because of other meds, and illnesses I have..always consult your doc! I am NOT allowed to start the berberine, until we get my liver checked a bit better, and since berberine has a poor absorption rate,and it must go through the liver, we’re holding off until I can get confirmation of what’s going on in my liver,which the appt is in a few weeks! I’m glad I just didn’t start taking it! I do take a collagen supplement for joint support/inflammation, and it’s helped tremendously, along with the NAC, which supports a healthy liver. So! Once I get the all clear- I’ll add the berberine! I’m excited, but I guess it’s not the greatest thing for you if you have liver issues,or blood pressure problems.. If I come across any excellent plant based products, I’ll come back here to let you know! But I’ve found, that a high protein, high veggie, low carb diet(I don’t deny myself,I just eat smaller portions of carbs,and a bit more of protein, and fill up on the veggies! I cut out ALOT of sugar, and soda.( I will have a can here n there,but I don’t drink the whole thing and I add lots of ice! It’s funny how we can trick our brains! And here’s a great tip I learned to eat your meal..go around your plate, eat your meat,or veggies- FIRST! Then, leave your carbs on the plate for last. By the time you go to eat your carbs, you’ll already start feeling full! You won’t even finish your rice,or potatoes,or whatever carb might be on your plate! It works!! (I know you don’t eat meat,but maybe that can still help! ) and for exercise, I try to at least get a walk in. I am still trying to get back my energy,but I know I need to get this weight off to really feel better!

Wow. An entire video on how to use berberine correctly, and it does not actually mention how to take it. Incredible. Is it lipophilic? Is it to be taken before food, with food, after food or on an empty stomach? Personally, I do know the answers to those questions, but seriously, dude! If you make a video called "How to use it CORRECTLY" that would be the questions I would want answered most of all, because if I am looking for a video on HOW to use it, I probably already know why I want to use it (and its benefits).

@crystaldiaz4764 I don't know what "gatekeeping" is, but I do know that it's entirely reasonable to expect to learn how to take berberine from at video entitled "How to use berberine correctly". Nothing I said is a personal insult, it's the definition of "constructive criticism": you don't just spout why something is crap, you actually show how to correct the problem, which is precisely what I did. Had the video been called "What is Berberine" my criticism might not necessarily be considered valid. But when a video called "How to..." does not actually tell you "how" - well, you know it fails in a major way.

Ive been taking berberine 2 months ive lost 10 pounds so far and feel amazing! Not big but wanted to lose vanity pounds. Like i would eat extremely healthy and around 1500 calories but i kept gaining weight?! The science didn't add up. I also eat alot of carbs from being mostly vegetarian. I suffered severe constipation and only pooped once a week if at all. Strong laxatives did not work. I now go 2 to 3 times a day and feel so much better! Also, i have more energy. Suffer from chronic fatigue. I used to always feel like i would pass out not now! Id get shaky between meals not now. I take 500mg every 5 hours. I found after taking it a month it greatly reduced my hunger. Now its difficult to eat 1200-1500 calories a day. It really has changed my life.

I’m hoping that this Berberine will help me to control my blood glucose better and will give me some muscles!

Never have I had such control over myself. Also the improvement in cognitive function is amazing. I feel like a different person. This supplement is a life changer for obese people particularly.

Strong healthy gut bacteria can withstand the supplement. In Europe, the latest studies tell us to aim for around 30 different plants a week (veg, fruit, grains, seeds, spices, herbs etc) which is doable if you start a meal with a mixed salad or mixed veg soup (you can freeze soup portions) and shop “the rainbow” of fruit and veg. Lentils and certain healthy grains like quinoa are great in stews, fresh herbs you can pop in a mug of water on the counter and just add them to as many things as possible over the week. It becomes a fun game to see how much you can put in one dish 😊
