BERBERINE : WORTHLESS or AMAZING ??

- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- Supercharge your health with lipid control, sugar control and weight loss. Berberine is being called nature's Ozempic. Certainly ozempic and wegovy have their limitations and are making huge profits for big pharma, the side effects are unknown and the rapid weight loss some are seeing is causing ozempic face and hair loss. Just because big pharma did not do a 50 million dollar study does not mean you cannot reap benefits at a fraction of the cost. Are you using it? Please share your thoughs in the comments.

Started 500 mg berberine 9 mo ago. Lost 5 lbs easily. Next step was cutting out diet soda. Lost another 5 lbs. Third step, started metformin and started resistance training 2x week with daily walking. Finally started counting my macros. Increased protein intake and decreased carbs. Total weight loss thus far has been 40 lbs.
About the diet soda…how did you cut cravings?
I didn’t start out saying I would never have diet soda again. I made a decision to try to reduce diet soda. Give yourself one week, or one day with less soda. That takes the mind games out of it. I added electrolyte powder to my water. Started measuring my water intake. I also replaced sodas with protein shakes. I gave myself a daily water target of 128 oz. If my met my water intake I’d treat myself to a diet Dr.Pepper or cocktail, but I never felt the need. Just being mindful of what I was eating and drinking was a starting point for me.
@brookeerrett
Wow! Sounds like you are really doing good things! I’ll try to add better exercise and some light weights as I progress. Good for you!
@@cjheadlee6994 Biggest transformative action has been cleaning up my diet. The satiety effects of the berberine/metformin combo along with increasing my protein has helped me address my eating behaviors and focus on the emotional component to my relationship with food. Getting daily required clean lean protein, good carbs, and healthy fat has given my body what it needs to function optimally while staying in a calorie deficit, so I no longer count calories. Thanks for the cheer
I did my own experiment with Berberine 500mg with lunch and dinner and lost 8-9 lbs without any other changes diet, exercise, etc over a 3-4 month span. It is not a magic "weight loss" bullet but works slowly overtime.
Thanks for providing the dose and timeframe. I just need to lose 10 pounds and I think I will try this.
After only a couple months on Berberine I compared my old blood tests to my new blood tests and all my lipids went from the higher end to the normal range. Works for me!!
I went in for blood work and was told my cholesterol was high. Of course I was put on a statin. The first night I was up all night with pain. By the 3rd day i a in the E>R> with symptoms of a heart attack prompted by the meds. I took myself off and told the doctor I would never take it again. I was warned and did my own research. I started a berberine and with in 6 wks it returned to normal range . 500mg 2x a day
What brand of Berberine are you taking?
Happy holiday!
Wow, thank goodness. Congratulations
I am curious. A lady in the health store set that people are coming in all the time with good reports on berberine helping their diabetes and that it also helped with those big bellies you get from Candida yeast infections. So I inquired again for a second opinion from another lady working there and she said that she had been taking berberine but had to be careful because her blood sugar is dropped a little low. I do not recall if she was diabetic or not. I have a friend who's diabetic and on Metformin and I also have a husband with a beer belly which was the reason I was inquiring and pointed to berberine. Apparently diabetics get does big candida belly yeast infections. And it helps settle the yeast down which is why I was considering it for hubby. I would like more input regarding this. He's not diabetic but maybe I need a glucometer to make sure his blood sugar doesn't crash? His grandmother was diabetic so I want to be sure he is safe
I always had respect for you Doctor but its just multiplied by 100% after this vid. I was waiting to see if you would not be afraid to call out big pharma. You did not disappoint x
I so appreciate that @taz12184. I share what I learn in real life , in real practice every day. Whatever the facts...I ll share with you and we discuss.
Stay tuned and have a super day. I thank you
54 years old female ..been taking berberine 275 mg twice a day for about a month, eating a healthy diet aprox 1500-2000 calories a day. with very little excersize due to disability but still lost weight. Side effects of diarrhea/constipation were minor , something that helped me aliviate symptoms was doing lower intestinal massages around stomach at night.
Hope this info helps or inspires some .
SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU!!!! I have been enriched by all you are sharing . Thank you!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I take twice a day no difference in weight
Which brand r you taking?
@@bjoy20101I take the Now brand but really don’t know what brand to get.
What brand should I take? And how many times a day? 500mg a time?
Berberine helps with congestion within about 20 minutes. Not sure of the mechanism, but it works every time.
I am taking Berberine. 1g per day in 2 doses (500mg twice, spaced apart). Mainly because I used to have higher blood sugar creeping up to the pre-diabetes zone, and higher blood pressure. Now that has normalized. No side effects that I have noticed. I also lost a bunch of fat, but I attribute that to switching to a low carb diet (keto), since it was way more than 5lbs. More like 45 lbs. At any rate, between Berberine and keto: lost 45 lbs, triglycerides lowered, blood pressure lowered, insulin resistance is gone, and I feel 100% better. Took about 8 months. Still going.
I haven’t tried Berberine yet. Thinking of doing so. I went on Keto during COVID. Over three years, I lost 125 lbs., still need to lose another 125. Due to disabilities, exercise is not really an option.
Then, I moved and lifestyle changed. Plateaued for months, then the weight started creeping back up. Have gained back almost 40 lbs.over the past 2 years. Am hoping Berberine will give me a fresh start and good kickoff.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 Exercise is always an option. No matter how little we start with. Ingesting berberine is only a partial help. We have to move. Just a little. And keep adding to our movement, just a little bit at a time. It can be the smallest amount, and keep going by tiny amounts. I have lived this, so I know. Just do the smallest thing you can do, and then do it again, and again.
Congrats! Cheers and support from me. Keep going and I wish you good health!
@@toluca56hey I hope your fine n would reply back
I’m 22 years old 100kgs on my way to loose weight I have slight hypertension dr put me on medication and told me once I loose weight he will get me off of the bp medication
I want to start berberine as I have read the data online that it does work in waist n hip ratio and seeing my fellow Korean k dramas I want to loose weight i do take collagen supplements and k2 etc and nac too since taking nac I do feel more productive and active to do cardio
Can I also start berberine to loose weight ?
I have been taking Berberine with Ceylon Cinnamon/green tea/bitter melon, on and off for 6 mths, more consistently for the past 3 mths. I am post menopausal and have been ‘stuck’ with my weight for years. Just wouldn’t budge, no matter what I did. I have lost about 5-7lbs. I really don’t need to lose a lot but I feel better and more myself. I have a couple of autoimmune issues and I am trying to do everything I can, naturally, to heal my body and reduce inflammation. I definitely feel. This has helped me, my symptoms have decreased. I am careful about my diet, as close to nature as possible but I have always been that way😊
I raise and harvest my own chamomile flowers for tea. It co trains berberine. I also eat barberries. I’m not fat. Probably because I garden and don’t even walk down the inner isle of the grocery store ever. I don’t eat out either
I find it a bit shocking that anyone would take a drug (not berberine) for weight loss when there is intermittent fasting which works for everyone. I don't get hungry anymore and if I get a pang I just chug some lemon water. I lost 40 pounds in 6 months and am back to my size 2. Just make sure your one meal is a complete one (protein rich and lots of varied greens) and take your supplements and collagen. Lots of various teas as well throughout the day as they generally don't break the fast. I blame a lot of weight gain on stretch pants and shorts. It allows a lot of weight creep. (-:
I really am hooked on your videos for all the information you provide, especially the technical detail. Just awesome. No better content ANYWHERE on the web.
Agree about stretchy fabrics!
Rather than the using the isolate berberine (which has side effects ) taking wholesome herbs which are rich in berberine such as barberries, , oregon grape & barberry root & bark have many side Benefits…no side effects. These herbs are typically used to improve liver function , digestion & regulate blood sugar
Berberine works! Thank you for putting this information out there! ❤ love your channel
You're so welcome! I appreciate your commenting and being here
My naturopath put me on Berberine years ago. Better for me than Metformin. It also helps gut health as well as blood sugar and cholesterol.
How do you take it?
Which brand to you take?
Happy New Year!!
Fascinating information you brought us Dr Rajani.I would rather take berberine instead of one of the prescription drugs.Awesome information!Thank you.
You are most welcome
I used Metformine for 6 weeks and I felt terrible.
I am 70 years old.
I lost too much weight and my hair fell out and I felt weak and slept bad because of abdominal pain and excessive urinating through the night.
My bloodsugar has come down to the normal range.
Of course I keep my diabetes diet and take a walk every evening.
But the most important is that I feel so much better with the Berberine.
Which brand is the best
I take 450mg twice per day for almost 3 months now. Should take a high grade version, I take Medi-Herb. I am not taking it for weight loss, but notice I have lost a few pounds. I'm taking it for insulin resistance issues and high cholesterol. But a fantastic unintended benefit is I am now sleeping way better at night on Berberine! I'm able to shut off my brain now - before got 4-5 hours a night, now 6-7 hours a night. A huge change for me! I experience some intestinal gas issues, but well worth the benefits I receive.
Wasn’t thinking about sleep. Hmmmmm. I am sleeping better. But also started colostrum and thought it was that! Now I need to go back and think about that again!
I'm taking 400 mil of berberine with my ketogenic diet I've only just started it like 3 days ago. Before taking it I was miserable. I've been ketogenic 3yrs christmas.
Already I'm finding my insulin resistance is better, my cravings are less eventhough my A1C has been good. My bloodpressure has not been good ,even my ADl is good, and my HDL is great. I take losarton, berberine can conflict but I feel better even when I take a water pill the muscle aches associated with that have subsided. I'm keeping a journal, but I am encouraged.
I can't take metformin because it gave me diarrhea. So my doc put me on gliclizide for my type 2. It did not bring my blood sugar down enough so I figured the next step would be insulin. Then I started berberine (500 mg twice a day) and inositol (500 mg once per day) and I quickly lost 5 pounds. No exercising. I am still on gliclizide as well, but because my weight is down and my type 2 diabetes is better managed, the doctor has not started me on any other meds. I will keep using the suppliments for as long as they work!
Really great info and comparisons of Berberine and Ozempic, Wegovy!! 😃
I started taking Berberine once a day before my main meal during the pandemic as I noticed some skin lesions (angular stomatitis) and some acne on top of 6lb wt gain (with a more sedentary lifestyle) and some lower GI issues - all hallmarks of gradual insulin resistance despite no history of diabetes and I've always been slim.
I combined this with intermittent fasting and within 7 wks I lost that weight, my skin became clear, my GI issues vanished. Most of the weight loss was due to IF not Berberine though (I took Berb for 1-2 months before I did IF). Despite my med & science background, I had to resort to the above to get my health under control.
I only noticed side effects from Berberine in the 1st 2 days (ie diarrhea, ab pain) which disappeared. Berberine changes your microbiome and increases Akkermansia (a good bacteria found in slim folks) and will cause purging of your pathogenic bacteria so you will get GI upset initially. It is primarily for lowering insulin, BSL and hyperlipidemia more so than overt weight loss (unlike like Ozempic which is a direct GLP-1 receptor agonist vs Berberine which just helps stimulate GLP-1 secretion via various pathways). I believe it is better than Metformin and Ozempic/Wegovy due to less side effects and may have a role in longevity due to AMPK activation.
Anyway Thanks for all your info and I love the fact you cover such diverse topics Dr Rajani! 🥰
I thank you so much for sharing your experience sonwe all learn
How many mg of Berberine did you start and did you increase the dosage? Thank you
@@kellylynn9163 I just use 500mg a day before my meal (I only eat 1 main meal a day and a snack). The version I use is more bioavailable though as it is combined with 115mg quercetin. In general people use a bioavailable form 1 - 2 x a day. Please do not exceed about 1g per day if using the bioavailable forms as too much can cause liver damage. For non bioavailable forms you can use about 1.5 g a day spread out. Anyway this is not medical advice, but scientific-based
Thank you
Heard of Berberine about 5 yrs ago and was taking it….then life happened and I forgot why. I bought some more last week before I even found this and you! My second video. Great info for this retired RN. Researching supplements for cancer for my son who has testicular cancer at 37. He’s on turmeric, D3, probiotics, berberine, omega 3
Research black seed oil too. Best wishes to your son and you 😘
Artemisinin might be something else to consider.
Look into black seed oil, castor oil, soursop and apricot kernels
Parasite cleanse!! All other great suggestions
Please look from Gerson therapy I done myself 20 years ago and I healing from ovarian cancer. Sorry for your son..😢
So happy you talked about this! I am one of those rare cases that got lactic acidosis from Metformin and literally cried because I wanted to take it for the insulin sensitivity/anti-cancer benefits. Can you talk about and compare between the two for this reason? Thank you!!
I never heard of this supplement. I’m going to order and try it out. Thank u 😊
You are so informative and kind. I appreciate all of your information. Your products are all top notch too. I just with I lived in Portland - I used to live in Lake Oswego. Thank you for all of your help and presentations.
You are so welcome! I appreciate you being part of the channel
My mom took this for her diabetes and blood pressure. It definitely helps with Diabetes but you also need to incorporate eating better as well. The results will be faster if you do so. Other than that.. It's awesome!
She needs to do a low carb diet eat very clean protein and veggies eliminate all processes food implement intermittent fasting (autophagy) she has to fix her insulin resistant
@@johnreyes4365 thank you! Now she is all good! She lost 40 lbs and now is off meds.
Berberine works great, but if you really NEED it. People who eat a healthy diet and zero added sugar (and who also limit their carbs with high GI) should rather be careful with it. I just wanted to try it, because of all that hype with longevity-related benefits. Even though it's natural, not synthetic like metformin, it gave me hypoglycemia (fast heart beat, trembling, dizziness, anxiety). Once I stopped taking it, the side effects stopped as well.
Maybe your dose was too high?
I added it to my diet about 10 days ago. I take 1 a day. The one thing I've noticed is an odd & increasingly chronic twitch in the blade of my left hand that i can see. it's so obvious. I had my anxiety contained prior with GABA and magnesium for months, but I'm now waking up with a pounding heart. I'm going to take a break from it. I'm not diabetic but I am overweight with high blood pressure, which I'm working on with keto/carnivore diet. All of the great benefits from dieting, no more inflammation, and losing 23 lbs before I added berberine feel like it's reversing back. I'll take a break from berberine and pay attention to effects & side effects.
@@anitaevans5361 try the DHB. It’s a different form and supposedly has less possible side effects. I’m taking a combination and in really low dosis. I see the positive, result maybe slower but no side effects either
@@samhermans8236 I'm not sure. My dose was 400mg once a day (the recommended amount on the packaging). I think if your sugar level is in the normal range (lower end), you just don't need it. Too much of a good thing may be a problem, after all :)
@@anitaevans5361 Be careful, those were my first symptoms. Strange tingling sensation in the limbs, pounding heart and later massive panic attacks, which I had never experienced before. No stress or change of lifestyle (apart from adding Berberine) was involved. My doctor told me these were all symptoms of hypoglycemia. Like you said, it's better to focus on a great diet. Berberine may be a great supplement, but it might just not be suitable for everyone.
I love your professional perspective
I appreciate that!
I adore you, Dr. Rajani. I greatly value and appreciate you. Love all you share with us… Thank you!!
You are so welcome thank you
This was very helpful. I much appreciate the info you laid out here. I subscribed and I’m going to get some berberine today!
Welcome aboard! Thank you
You are absolutely amazing once again Dr.Rajani ! Thank you!
So nice of you Thanks @ananagy23
I take Berberine with silymarin (milk thistle) and it works for weight loss.
Good to know
What doses do you take, please?
@@cherylmcnutt9905 Milk thistle 4000mg 15000mg tablets. You have to exceed the stated dose by a factor of 3 in order to get the best results.
Thanks for sharing this info on your channel. Take care.
Thanks, you too!
Dr Rajani, your videos are outstanding. I love how you cover all topics of good health.
I thank you for watching and I appreciate the feedback. I m always trying to improve
Thank you once again Dr. Rajani.
Thanks @kymiranee
Doc, I take 500 mgs twice a day. Funny, but today, I did poop three times and it wasn’t due to anything I ate yesterday. I started to take it when I read that it helps lower LDL cholesterol. Thought I’d take it throughout the summer and then have my blood levels checked again at the beginning of September. I hope I see a reduction as I do not want to take a statin. I am pretty active with Muay Thai, Yoga and lifting weights. I cannot say I have noticed any marked changes in my energy level as a result. I have lost weight, about 10 pounds, but I also started HRT around the same time, so not sure which to attribute my weight loss to? Anyway, I enjoy Berberine thus far and have had no adverse effects. Hope you are doing well and thanks for this video.
Dr, I love all of your videos and want to get started on your products.
Thank you so much for all your information/instructions & advise on products and supplements. I am all for the natural.
Thank you and blessings to you & your family
Excellent video, thank you! 🤍
Glad you liked it!
Awesome info share Dr. Rajani! You’re so thorough & really know your stuff! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge & experience with us!
I read about Berberine a few weeks ago & just started taking 450 mg by capsule last week. I definitely notice a difference in appetite reduction, but I still like to eat, which is good.
Also, notice my bowels are a bit more active, but nothing uncomfortable or troublesome. If I will wait a few weeks before I increase the dosage, if I ever do, to allow my body to acclimate.
I can’t wait to see my cholesterol results after a month or two, as well as my (hopefully) reduced weight & waistline!
Sending love & support from Weston, CT!
I so appreciate that @melissamack1199. Stay tuned and have a super day.
This is so great! I just listened to a video where Dr. David Sinclair was talking about the longevity effects of taking metformin and suggested trying Berberine if you didn’t want to get the prescription drug! I must live under a rock because I hadn’t heard of this. But this morning I ordered a couple bottles of Berberine, 500mg per capsule, and plan to take one 2x daily. But if I understand, you are suggesting at least 1500mg daily, correct? Thanks for keeping us updated!
The universal answer to a healthy and long life is: *PREVENTION!*
Regular exercise.
Healthy low-fat and low-sugar diet.
No alcohol.
No cigs and other drugs.
A positive attitude.
Good friends.
Get enough sleep
These are the *BASICS* for a long and healthy life.
Under these conditions, supplements can work like the icing on the cake.💫
A great tip for everyone regarding berberine, but also longevity.
Do your research: DR. DAVID SINCLAIR!
You will definitely not regret it!
Before i forget:
I take berberine before bed because it makes you tired, but for very good and logical reasons!
Anyway, my sleep has improved a lot.
Also my complexion and other things.
I have to admit that I eat extremely well and treat my body with respect and love.🥰
That will also be a reason why friends told me that i look younger.
Well, discipline and patience are the keys to success.❤
Agree to all but the low fat!!
Didn’t know berberine had an impact on sleep and complexion. I use it for general health because I didn’t want to go for mitformin. I got DHB, it’s better tolerated.
Latest research shows your body needs fat, but organic fats only, not hydrogenated transfats or seed oils. Many are on the carnivore diet but quit because they lose too much weight! Paleo and Keto diets are high fat and people lose weight and their blood scores improve. As with anything don't eat more calories than you burn.
I agree with most of it, but low fat is outdated.
@selectiveoutrage6617 what about just having avocado
@@joanneclark8256 Avocados are healthful and delicious but so darned expensive these days
I have been taking berberine, 500 mg two times a day for years now for high cholesterol and heart health. I haven't noticed any weight loss or side effects nor do I really know if it's helping. But I'll do anything to avoid statins!
Has it helped your cholestrol?
Indeed, I'm not diabetic or obese but I've start taking Berberine when I start my pre-menopause and menopause . I take just 2 caps DIE not more , and light exercise and of course a healthy life style in general . First of all my metabolism is back in track (not as in 30's but keep in track my weight} , I am able to eat a meal a day without having craves and hungry all the time or moody, maybe is in my head but with berberine I observed that levels up my energy , my work demands lots of energy lol ...so over all I'm happy with it and its natural ... plants/plants ingredients actually can do miracles (and not only berberine . Great info video by the way ! Cheers from Ottawa
Excellent. Thanks for sharing. I was just in Toronto
Thanks for sharing ❤
Love all your Video’s. Thank you 🤍
You are so welcome!
I m taking liposomal berberine. 300 mg per day. Haven't been on it quite 30 days. My belly has reduced a bit. Very satisfied with the product. I m in my mid 70's. I m not diabetic. Anxious to c how it affects my next round of blood tests.😊
what brand do you take?
hello everyone, what should i look for in the ingredients? i'm so excited....new to Dr Rajani....have been learning a lot
Thank you for the information you provided .
My pleasure
I’ve been on it since June and have lost five pounds with no exercise. I’m excited to know what will happen when I start sweating and moving every day!!
You only need to Weight training 3 times per week to se your best body ever
Usually low carb, but when I have no choice but to eat high carb ( wedding, party….) I will take berberine. My glucose monitor shows very little spiking, or spike comes down quickly.
I just started on my Berberine last week. I take twice daily. 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch. I don't eat dinner. I haven't noticed any weight loss. I was looking for that overnight trick lol But I will wait the 3 months that is recommended, and see what happens. 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
Please do update after 3 months please
How many mg do you take?
Sorry, I did not have any luck or any weight loss with them. I am now on ADF (alternate day fasting) and have done 2 weeks so far and down 15 already. This works for me but I had started with 16/8 fasting first. ☺@@mirellagonzalez4419
how is it going?
Thank you Dr. A study just came out about Ozempic, saying that it reduces muscle mass instead of fat. Yikes!
Yikes
I wouldnt touch Ozempic with a barge pole.
Im using Berberine 500mg before lunch, 500mg before dinner.
I'm pleased to say, i feel so much better,and have more energy dye due the bloatedness going,some aches and pains, and i believe has helped high cortisol from spiking. Eat less and dontnhave that craving "for something" feeling. So my mind and time is elsewhere inspiring me all to exercise
Hello, Doc, love your info, it is great to hear that your mind is open to natural things! I was happy to get a MD to try a natural way to reduce his BP, without the side effects!! He was surprised with results! and that there was an alternative he was not trained in. I study from around the world. And love your open mind. Keep up the great work brother.
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing
Whoa. Haven’t heard of this supplement.
I'm taking berberine for 6 months now combined with potassium to regulate bloodpressure. I am on HRT due to a radical hysterectomy in Januari this year. Because I take it in pillform it goes through the liver and it had interaction with my angiotensine enzyme II and my aldosteron. Both are responsible for vascular widening and contriction. I had too much constriction due to HRT which resulted in high bloodpressure. I dove into it. I began using berberine once a day with a potassium supplement and heightened the dose to twice a day of both ( 1000mg of berberine) and my bloodpressure came down smoothtly. I am in the safe zone now. It works! :-D Doctor Rajani. What is your opinion on S acetyl- L gluthathione?
I have Insulin Resistance and the doctor put me on Ozempic and the side effects are horrible. I will try this instead plus I will follow with what you are recommending. I just want to feel better because I have Lupus, fibromyalgia and Hypothyroidism.
My dr recommended it.. i have been taking it for 2 months now! 🎉
❤U‼️Dr Rajani Thank you❤🙌🥰
Thank you for this information
My pleasure
Great video. Thank you
Thank You @AI.10110. Stay Tuned I appreciate you being part of the channel.
I’m taking berberine once a day 600 mg. I’m going to strait taking it twice a day. So far I’ve had less hunger. Not much weight loss, but I’ve tried it for 2 weeks.
Thank you for explaining how berberine works. I've heard of it but then Ozempic came along and it sounds like a wonder drug. I love that you are more natural based than medical. Glad I found your channel! I've heard really cleansing the toxins from the liver are the key to weight losings in the belly since the fat cells protect our organs from damage & disease. Have you covered this process? I'd much rather go natural than chemical. Anyway - thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
i started taking this about a year ago because i found out it was good for the gut microbiome. all these other benefits are a bonus. i will probably keep taking it now that i know how similarly it works to metformin which is supposed to be really good for longevity
i also take 500mg berberinein the AM & PM. i am more interested in controlling any blood sugar spikes. i do not notice any negative side effects. i have been using this supplement for a little over a year. thank you investigating this, dr.
Do you take 30 Mims b4 food
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge...you are a doctor I trust.
Hi Dr. I have been taking Berberine for 2 months and have lost 6 lbs, I take 500mg in the morning and 500 at night . My fat % as per my FIT scale was 49% fat and I am down to 45% body fat, I will be seeing my PCP next month and I am looking forward to change in cholesterol level . My digestive issues are gone although some days I do not take the berberine as I feel is is too much , I do not take any other medications and the after taste . I will stop taking it soon , it really helped me jump start my change in eating habits and wanting to exercise daily.
What brand do you take?
@@beeyourbest6675 :" Solaray Brand" , can find at Sprouts.
You take it on an empty stomach ? Do you have to eat in a certain time Frame after ?
I’ve been taking it for a year , just before my biggest meal (dinner) . Hasn’t done anything to my weight . Maybe I’m using it wrong .
Thanks @anasaenz5702. I very much appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. It helps all of us learn.
Does it upset your stomach?
I take 500mg twice a day for the cholesterol benefits. I also have autoimmune disease concerning the liver (PBC) that I hope will benefit as well.
I just started Berberine... Im taking 500mg twice a day with fasting only eating twice a day. To soon to said about weight lost but I notice that was good for my gut and helping moving bulb easier. I sleep very well. Not that I had problems before but its better now. I have only try one week so far😃 we will keep you informed but at least I feel better and with not cravings. 💃💃
Hi Dr. Love your channel. Ironic that you produced this video this week bc I just started Berberine last Saturday . My research said to be effective take 2400 mg. Well I quit on Tuesday. I was taking with my am meal and dinner 1400mg each meal. In the middle of the night each night hit with terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. I think I started to high but the brand I bought comes in 1400mg tablets. I want to start back bc I am border line diabetic and already insulin resistance. Lost over 100 pounds in my 40’s low carb diet and exercise and kept it off about 10 years. my boyfriend died during menopause transitioning and gained it all back. Love for you to do a video on how to start or recommend dosing . Realize that is hard to do bc everyone is different and you have to also be careful about medical advice perception on line.
You need to start off with lower dosage. Berberine changes the body on a cellular level and you have to give it at least a month to kick in. Be patient and don’t abuse it.
I have been taking berberine for approximately over 2 months for prediabetes. I did research on RUclips for berberine. I lost 15 pounds not from berberine, just one meal a day on and off.
Now eat normal 2 meals a day. I haven't gone back to Dr. Check yet
I just read Berberine can benefit ocular Behcets (I have neuro-Behcets) and it helps to reduce CRP (inflammation). Fascinating! Behcets is a rare vasculitis. I will talk to my doctor to see if I can take this instead of Otezla.
Interesting. I've been taking Berb for awhile, but only about 200mg a few days a week. I notice zero weight loss but weigh 100 lbs (not too thin for my frame). I also note no bad side effects. I take it to combat aging effects and stress, not for high sugar.
It helps with stress and aging?!
Berberine, Metformin and Glutithione. Just started the supplements recently and I’m noticing some weightloss. Type 2 Diabetic and was prescribed 500 mg Metformin, I just purchased 500mg Berberine and Glutithione
Hvala g.Doktor.
I so appreciate that @zoja271. Stay tuned and have a super day.
I take a 600mg berberine and Ceylon cinnamon gummy once a day. I have a sensitive tummy, so taking the recommended 1200mg dose was a little too harsh on my system. I seem to handle the 600mg well. I find it helps to control appetite and I feel satisfied with less food. I also use intermittent fasting 8/16 about four days a week. Weight loss has been slow but consistent at about 6-7 lbs per month. At this rate, I should hit my goal weight by February or March 2024.
Hello doctor please could you tell me if injections of vitamin B12 which offer us beauty salons are good and it's working?
Dr. Anil Rajani , I wanted to discuss a recent observation regarding my supplementation regimen, specifically with Thorne Berberine, and seek your professional advice.
Currently, I am taking Thorne Berberine alongside my other supplements, including cod liver oil pills, magnesium, sea moss pills, and B12, as part of an effort to lower my cholesterol levels. While I have been maintaining a healthy diet, I've noticed a change in the color of my stool since starting the Thorne Berberine. My stool appears green, which is concerning to me. Interestingly, I skipped taking the Berberine on Sunday, and my stool seemed to return to its kind of its normal brown color. I am on a 10 days green juice diet while taking it...
After some research, I understand that stool color can vary based on the speed at which it moves through the digestive tract, with darker green hues indicating a faster transit time. However, I am uncertain if this change in stool color is a cause for concern or if it necessitates the addition of a probiotic to my supplement regimen.
I am eager to continue effectively managing my cholesterol levels and would greatly appreciate your guidance on whether I should incorporate a probiotic into my routine.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your expert advice
I started taking it about a month ago for my sugar but it really hasn't reduced my sugar levels in fact seem like they're higher I have had some stomach upset I didn't realize that this coming from berberine so thanks for the information I have lost about 10 lbs overall
Thanks for sharing! Make sure you are using quality products
Pls make a video on its interaction with other meds like blood thinner, heart meds, best labels to buy with lab test reports etc etc
I started taking 1,000mg of berberine with milk thistle and red ginseng (as well as other vitamins) and within a week and a half I lost 10lbs and 2 1/2 inches on my waist (185-175lbs) I was walking more that week as I went away but to have such quick and dramatic results it has to be the berberine. I’m already pretty far along on my weight loss journey so this last bit of weight is difficult to lose. I know berberine will help me with the rest. I have a lot of symptoms of insulin resistance and diabetes runs in my family do that’s why I wanted to take such a high dose to start. I’ve heard between 500-3,000/day is the dosing
What do you think of Augustus Bader creams??
Dr Rajani you are looking especially good today...😮 what have you ha done😮 😊
His hair is looking really good lately.
I thought so too!
Thank you. This was informative. I started Keto and berberine after seeing it on Dr Berg. I am concerned about PCOS and blood calcium levels. I haven’t experienced any significant weight loss on metformin and berberine combined. Is there something that I’m missing.. advice anyone? I was advised it’s chronic fatigue and inflammation.
Vitamin ;d3,k2 supplements . You might be low on b complex . Mushroom coffee added to my coffee in the morning did a miracle for my fatigue , depression , mood and overlook on life . Keep watching Dr berg. His advice and supplements has made me feel so much better and not exhausted. I’m pre menopause but don’t do keto yet but I eat after 2 or 4 pm and am trying to eat once a day especially for women after 40. Sleep is super important as well as feeling safe , and not caring much about life problems as stress , not enough sleep , low vitamin d- is one of the top things that messes up our bodies .
I am not sure as to what extend it "replaces" proper insuline resistance diet,would be interesting to understand.
Thanks for the info.❤ How do you know which brand of Berberine to choose. What should we be looking for? There are so many on Amazon to choose from.
I would get one that's organic non GMO
You.can get it in a health food store or a whole foods market.
Thorne or Life Extension are very high quality
I was just diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I am 70 years old and am trying to lose weight. I am not diabetic. I hesitated to take Berberine. I have just started taking it three days ago. I take 500 mg every day. I worried that I may have side effects because I am not a diabetic. Could you let me know if I would be causing more health problems by taking Bererine rather than just weight loss? Thank you.
Gives me heartburn ❤️🔥
Ordered from Puratins Pride which is supposed to be pure
I ordered it as well from there
I just started taking supplements from Puritans Pride and wasn't sure about that company but they have good prices. If I could afford it I would only buy from Life Extension company. I do buy they Life Extension Mix for basic nutrition but supplement with extra supplements (C, D, magnesium, etc.) if I need them and they are all sorts of companies
My Mom's doctor told her to sit up straight when she eats so that she won't get heartburn. I don't know if it will help but never hurts to try
Hi, By how much does Berberine decrease Collagen production? Can I balance it with supplementing Collagen + vitamins like vitamin C, E, A etc?
I'm taking it because LH Covid has messed up all of my systems (blood sugar, nervous system, cardio, brain..) I typically only take 1 500 mg with dinner (I do not need to lose weight). No side effects & won't know about A1C for a few months, as I had labs done rt when I started it.
I took this while trying to kill sibo and yeast in my intestines it does cut the desires of sugar a lot its very good
Just remember sugar feeds yeast
Back here: question is, is it safe for a healthy person to take it?
I’ve just started on berberine about a week ago. I haven’t been regular with it, but I’m gonna start… Have not noticed any weight loss or anything at all yet
Thanks @MizzMM
In your experience, what you've heard from others, do the GI side effects from berberine tend to go away over time? I have helped my mother, whose A1c was 11 (while on high dose of metformin) 2 years ago, drop to 6.5 (with 1/3 the dose of metformin she was taking) by following a whole food plant-based diet with no oil. This coupled with doing water aerobics everyday and stationary bike at home in the evening with a yoga series I designed for her has got her these results. However, her A1c is stuck at 6.5 and I am confident that if she could lose her remaining belly fat that her A1c would drop to normal (non-diabetic) range. So in addition to now trying to motivate her to dieting for 3 months to achieve a slight caloric deficit, I am considering suggesting berberine to her. Anyway, have you seen the berberine GI side effects generally go away over time? Thanks.
I've been taking Berberine (Thorne is the brand, purchased on Amazon) for about a week now. No side effects, but I also have not seen any weight loss. I started taking it because I've self diagnosed myself as insulin resistant. Figured I'd give it a try along with some lifestyle changes to see if I can fix myself. I take 2 capsuled in the morning and 2 in the evening, both times about a half hour before I eat.
You need to be taking it for 1 month before the body responds to it on a cellular level. Be patient
You should take organic non GMO supplements
@jonahdiener7355 what brand do you recommend
Hi, just like you, I take Thorne brand purchased from Amazon.
I had no changes in weight for the first 2 months.
Now, in month 3, I have started losing weight…. So far I’m down 4 lbs.
More importantly, I’m becoming more fit I noticed my pants are fitting better my clothes feel better they’re all loose, so I guess I’m losing fat composition
.
I’m post menopausal and also taking Berberine. I have some insulin resistance and was almost pre diabetic but after 6 weeks of using the Berberine, eating a very low carb, meat heavy diet I’ve lost 5 lb with another 5 to go. Hopefully the last 5 lbs will come off the SPARE TIRE 😅
My 85 year old father who has had type 2 diabetes for about 20 years has been on Ozempic since 2020. He has severe gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting & intermittent constipation) and has lost too much weight. Unusual for type 2 diabetic but he was already underweight (despite a high sugar, high trans fat diet) and is now emaciated. He's losing his hair for the first time, has become anemic, and has lost muscle. He always looked much, much younger than his biological age but this drug has aged him decades in only 3 years. Worst of all, it hasn't improved his blood sugar levels. He's also on Metformin, statins and a few other heart drugs. Is there an alternative to Ozempic? I don't think it's doing him any good but his doctor keeps prescribing it. I realise at 85 it's amazing he's still alive, however, I'm starting to wonder whether Ozempic is going to shorten rather than extend his life.
I think you really need to insist that he comes off that drug, you have a right to be concerned. There are several other alternatives along with metformin to keep his blood sugar down. My 80 year old friend with type 2 is on metformin but also if his blood sugar is on the high side, he gets 14 units of insulin at night. Easy for himself or anyone to administer.
not both at same time
Please take him to another doctor asap before his current one kills him. You have evidence of harm and he ignores it. Violating the Hippocratic oath is serious
And the statins will I create higher blood sugar. You can reduce cholesterol with lifestyle
Look up information HMB, Creatine, BAA
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰I need to lose weigth,I think I will try it for a few months to see if it helps🙂
What brand is a great brand to take?
As a woman who has struggled with PCOS and the low blood sugar events, cystic ovaries, pre-cancers, etc., for four decades, spent time on Glucophage until it almost killed me, and switched to DIM, glutathione, and Berberine in 2016, here are my observations: Berberine is well-tolerated and it DID lower my blood pressure about 10 points top and bottom. But, zero weight loss and I have no clue what my blood looks like currently, but it’s almost always been good.
I still have low blood calcium and hormonal palpitations around menstruation and cysts IF I don’t take coral calcium and mangosteen pericarp powder!!
When I was researching Berberine for my diabetic father, I found a study that it can shortened your telomeres and I also found that it may increase your blood's calcium levels.
I would like to know what Dr. Rajani thinks of the study you read. Thank you for mentioning it.
@@Chris77690 I think I found the study but I’m not a medical expert so none of it really tells me anything. Google “Study progress of berberine for treating cardiovascular disease” the website is called sciencedirect
If you have normal blood sugar would this lower your sugar too low?
I loved Phen Phen!!! I lost all my baby weight twice in record time! Plus it made you super happy!
Did you actually take fenfluramine? I've noticed many people call phentermine phen phen but phen phen actually refers to two medications, phentermine and fenfluramine. Phentermine is an appetite supressant, it works and is safe. The other medication is fenfluramine, brand name pondimin, which keeps seratonin levels high & helps with depression but it isn't safe. DO NOT TAKE FENFLURAMINE! It causes primary pulmonary hypertension & heart damage. I took the phen phen combination, fenfluramen & phentermine to lose 10 pounds years ago. I began having chest pain & looked up the side affects of both these meds & discovered the dangers of fefluramine. I stopped taking it immediately but it was too late. Fenfluramine caused enlargement of my heart. I sued and only got $35,000-I'd rather have a normal heart.
You got high it’s an upper
Brand new here with Berberine Throne, please recommend the initial dosage how/ when to take and the amount? Pre- diabetic here and nothing seems to work, recent A1C came out 6.0 with cleanest lifestyle. Please someone get back. Thank you Dr. for the information
