Dihydroberberine vs Berberine: Which is BEST For Weight Loss?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 апр 2024
- Berberine is a great over-the-counter supplement known for its benefits on weight loss, insulin, blood sugar, and even cholesterol.
But if you spend some time looking around, you'll notice that there's a new formulation available: dihydroberberine.
The formulation that most people use is known as berberine hcl, so how does this new form compare?
In short, it's probably better for these reasons:
One small pilot study showed that a smaller dose of dihydroberberine was roughly 5x more effective than dihydroberberine.
Given the smaller dose needed, the risk of fewer side effects, and the comparable effects, dihydroberberine is probably the preferred form for most people.
The pilot study mentioned in the video, along with anecdotal reports, was enough to convince me to reformulate my own berberine supplement to dihydroberberine: www.restartmed.com/product/be...
But that doesn't mean you can't get results with regular berberine hcl.
Dihydroberberine is probably best for people who have sensitive stomachs, who are looking to use higher doses of berberine to meet their goals, and for those who aren't as price-sensitive.

If you have an iron stomach and you are trying to save some cash then doubling your dose of berberine hcl will probably yield similar results.

A study on 5 people over a 24 hour period? I wouldn't even call that a study.
Right? Good grief.
Truly.
I take it for glucose lowering effect.
There are other studies get off your butt and go read them
it's a joke
It is still better than not doing anything
I unknowingly bought both types of Berberine. I noticed that one was much stronger than the other. After watching this video, I checked the labels. The Dihydroberberine does work better for me than Berberine HCL. I take Dihydroberberine right before I eat, and I take the HCL during the meal. I haven’t noticed any side effects. I’m glad I watched this video.
thank you dr Childs ..I started taking berberine 11 months ago through watching your vids when I was diagnosed with hypo. I've lost 27kg.. thank you for helping me find something that has corrected my insulin resistance and helped me loose weight with my hypothyroidism. I never thought I would be able to loose it.. tried everything before starting berberine and nothing was working. its such a good botanical supplement.
Your comment sounds very hopeful, may I ask what your daily dosage is and do you take it in the morning or evening? Thank you
@@liyac6982 1000mg 30 mins before lunch and dinner x2 aday. found fasting and not eating until 2pm super helpful with last meal at 8pm.
@@liyac6982 2000mg daily 2 tablets 30 mins before food lunch and dinner :)
And may I ask what brand do you use ? I heard only buy from the USA
@@pattyholland9443 I just bought Irwin version a few hours ago so I'm just starting today if you want to follow each others progress.
Thank you Dr. Childs. Amazing products and advice. Keep it up 🙌🏻
I’m taking it now and it’s curved my cravings. Since I work from home, I snack all day. But it’s only been 48 hrs, I’ll report back in 30 days
Thank you so much! Really appreciate learning from you. I'll have to try jt.
How about berberine phytosome as compared to Dihydroberberine.
I recently ordered a VitAuthority dihydroberberine with 170 mg per capsule plus 750mg of ceylon cinammon plus rice flour alongwith so e other ingredients in very small amounts. I am sending it back. I don't want the cinammon in the capsule or the rice flour. What do you think? Does your product have any other ingredients in it?
I would like to order Dr. Child's but no shipping to Belgium.
7:15 does dihydroberberine increase weight loss ie. Water+fat+muscle loss or exclusively fat loss???
Haven't tried berberine yet, maybe I should give it a try, 6 years now suffering from chronic fatigue followed by depression, it all started around the time I suspected that there was something wrong with me, then and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto. The struggle is real, I did everything by the book in terms of diet, I changed T4 brands, and I have like 10+ botles of supplements in my cabinet, some days I get some relief but the symptoms always comes back, it's been like this since the beginning. Saying this disease could lead to one's demise is not an overstatement.
Carnivore diet. See Dr. Ken Berry.
Thank you
Standard Berberine worked for my dad challenging diabetes! It worked better than Metformin. I did buy quality brand called Do Not Age which was third party tested
Does this cause alzehimers like metformin
I got some Berberine phytosome. It says clinically studied and 9x absorption. Is this any good? My system isn’t good at absorbing things. Except weight. But I’m using this because I’m diabetic and out of metformin due to not being able to find a doctor after moving.
Take with milk thistle enhanced absorption
@@Thisisntevenyourchannel thank you.
Try Gymnema Sylvestre standardized to 75% Gymnemic Acid. I find it effective. Depending on severity of your diabetes and/ir the type of food you eat, you many want to take twice the suggested dosage.
Hello Dr Childs, I have a question. If i am a non diabetic and have hypothyroidism (taking levothyroxine 100mcg) can i take berberine and if yes should I wait 4 hours after taking my medication?
I took dihydroberberine and experienced EXTREME muscle pain and weakness. After 1 week only. And i was only taking 300 mg daily. I stopped taking it, just to see if that was the cause. After 2 days of no dihydroberine, it stopped. So i waited 2 weeks. Started taking again. Immediately got the pain back.
I dont think this works for me.
Why so much, mine is only 170 mg. I think 300 too much. IMO
I wish this worked for me but it didn’t at all. Used a 200mg Dihydroberberine product last summer and felt nothing compared to Mounjaro. I was so bummed.
Lol well Mounjaro is not a over the counter supplement like dihydroberberine
Can you take it with turmeric?
I am excited to try. But I don't know if dihydroberberine is available in the Philippines...
shoppe or i herb
Hi dr ; I’m taking livothyroxin 75mg every morning and berberine interact with this médecine and plus I’m on HRT also so I don’t know if dihydroberberine possible to take it witch is I think this is much stronger how you say dr and can’t take it at all 🙏♥️
Berberine worked for my late dad diabetes who had tough diabetes. I used to buy quality brand Do Not Age
I am taking something called Berberine HCI-- what is that?
I can find Berberine HCL but cannot find dihydroberberine in Canada. Where can I get it.
Amazon has “Super Berberine “ which is dihydroberberine
How do I know if I am insulin resistant? I have Hoshimotos and am on 125 mcg of Levo
There are home blood tests that can help you see if while in a fasted state if your insulin is still high then you are insulin resistant
Dr. Mendy is a great resource to help understand

I took berberine and had very strange visual effects. My vision became pixelated..... I stopped taking it and my vision corrected. I haven't read that this is a side effect so I must be the odd ball.
I have astigmatism that is so extreme that everything looks pixelated. It’s like no matter what I look at it appears like I’m standing too close to a Monet painting (pointillism).
Drrrrrr oh dr, I'm very confused!!!!!!!
Once in a while, I take Detox Cleanse or similar things because I think I can't open my bowels and you know I believe some of us who carry weight around due to a BAD very bad large intestine not working properly.
No disrespect to you but, this is what I think ( people, especially ladies who have had few abdominal operations and diabetes and in so many cases like myself a tummy hernia mesh, all the doctors and specialists sit together with for example,ple poor me at the round table and discusses and put all the medication they have prescribed on the table9 discuss why? if it doesn't work with that or other medication ........... honestly I'm going through it not just a few months I've suffered for 32 years 15 years of which had to do with my GUT. I also stopped my thyroid medication as I was putting on more weight!!!!!!!!!
I can't help but think and say, "You got money at least you can get the best of health care and ,,,,,,,,,
Is it safe to take benfotiamine and berberine in the same day?
They are not related . So is ok . Berberine works best start of meal rather than later
@@theancientsancients1769 Thank you!
Can any one tell me what if tsh is high and t4 is high and t3 is low what does it mean
TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone which is produced by your Pituitary Gland. If it's high, that means your Pituitary gland is being overworked.
T4 High means not enough of it is getting converted to T3 which is the active form of Thyroid hormone. As a result your T3 is low and this state is called Hypothyroidism.
Wonder WHY they would do this test on only men????? Men don't have the problem of losing weight that women do. Js
Because all medical studies are done from the viewpoint of men. Fact. Doctors will prescribe statins to men and women for blood pressure yet statins don't do anything for women's blood pressure but they really mess up our bodies.
Because like the rest of our culture, medicine is mainly concerned with how treatments help men.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 spot on!!!!🤬
Because when have fluctuating hormones all through the month. To get comparable results, you’d have to have a group of women all at the exact same time in their monthly cycle.
@@ColleenHammond right. And I also highly suspect that science could find an estrogen replacement that doesn't cause cancer but they're not going to. 🤬
Are there any “natural” GLP-1?
Yerba Mate tea
The probiotic Akkermansia musiniphilia.

Everyone's going on about this dihydroberberine....BUT its NOT readily available. I only found ONE website that was selling it, and they were out of stock. Are these creators part of that website or are they getting kickbacks?
I have my own product that contains dihydroberberine, but can't speak to anyone else or how they make money: www.restartmed.com/product/berberine-500/
Can any one tell me a person have high TSH and high t4 and dey t3 is low what does it mean
Consult an endocrinologist right away.
Try looking into bladderwrack for hashimotos
I've tried it but it hasn't done anything for my weight.
Berberine is NOT a weight loss supplement.
yeah, that's my issue; I believe my weight gain is related to emotional factors; thus, my "mind" doesn't want to lose weight. However, I've been in therapy and have finally started losing weight
5:30 Dosing
Please tell us where to purchase
dihydroberberine?
Dr. Child's list the link to order his formula. When you click "more"... down you will find the link.
Amazon, I like Double Wood.
I’d like to find in a store near me rather than these doctors selling things.
I use his Berberine. I’m on my third bottle. I have hypothyroidism and no diabetes. It works very well with no side effects like other brands. Try it.
If it can cause gut problems I’ll pass. I have raging IBS and my gut most likely wouldn’t accept it! ☹️
I've been on 1200mg of berberine daily for 6 months, as well as cytomel
for 2 months. Still stuck.
Now I'll switch to dihydoberbine , and higher cytomel.
I dont see the study being fair or good because it was only done on men... crappy study😢
I just listened to a lady's near death experience that just happened to her a little over a month ago. The culprit was berberine. It affected her heart.
Hmmmmm, I would have to see her medical records to believe that diagnose. 😮
That was a very poor study. Doc do you know who sponsored the study? And why only 24 hours?
Can you take Berberine when pregnant?
No
Beware berberine gave me bad constipation.
Weird , it makes me go. Very good for the gut
Eat some more roughage, maybe. Like kraut, leafy greens, etc. That might help. Grandma was always right. 👍
It never made me constipated. You might want to increase your fiber and water intake
It cured my constipation.
Constipation is a common side effect i read on the National Institute Of Health.NIH.
The regular berberine does not work. I bought a huge bottle and took it 3 times a day on your promising recommendation. What a waste of money.
Try Gymnema Sylvestre standardized to 75% Gymnemic Acid. I find it effective. Depending on severity of your diabetes and/or the type of food you eat, you many want to take twice the suggested dosage.
But do you have high blood sugar? Not sure either if these of these supplements will affect weight in people without elevated blood sugar. Also, as he says, it takes many weeks for weight change with berberine. (It also takes a while for any weight loss benefit with Ozempic, by the way.)
@@roxyiconoclast
That’s a good question, not sure I do.
Berberine is a hyped up supplement!
Perhaps it's case by case. I've taken it for 5 months and lost 43 lbs. I'm proof of the hype.
You could be right
@mstoy4xt121 which brand did you buy?
@akathol86 Nutriflair Premium Berberine with Ceylon Cinnamon. I got mine from Amazon. I take 2 sometime between dinner and bedtime. I don't know really when to take them, but that's usually when I remember. Give at least 2-3 weeks, and that's when you may find you can't finish a meal. I didn't exercise or anything. I didn't change what I ate. I just found I wasn't very hungry anymore. Taking Berberine is the only thing I changed. When I stopped taking them for a week, I started getting an appetite. I hope I don't have to take them forever. I just might have to exercise...LOL. Good luck!
You need to turn up your AC.
Taken 12 hours apart? Really? 12 hours. And what if our way of eating cannot possibly do that.
tried it and was very ill- this is not a cure all it has serious side affects. women much of these things can throw your hormones out of wack. One may help your blood sugar but when you dig deep has things like- bad for your thyroid etc
Study? That’s laughable.
Right, OK. Anyone touting their own product is usually full of crap.
I miss the days, when all this weight loss addictions did not exist. Just having a nice full figure was all that mattered.
For me it's a matter of getting down from obese to normal weight. Thanks to thyroid and menopause I eat like a sparrow but have gained about 4 stone in weight. But I get your point. I've seen videos from really thin people who are taking berberine and losing weight on it and I'm thinking "you'll soon be invisible if you keep that up."
When was a nice full figure all that mattered? What decade and or what culture are you talking about?
Being over weight has serious long-term health issues....
Heroin made me smarter and don’t care what anybody says.
Why are you so shiny?
NEITHER. Go for lipo.
