"Third Party Tested" can also be paid for by the company and therefore the "results" of the testing will obviously end up skewed. It needs ro be "Independently Third Party Tested". Hope that helps!
What????! So good to know! Very helpful! Thank you!!!!
@@RundownwithRachel You're welcome.
@@mlmartin2922That was a very important point to consider before buying any supplement. I salute you for that
it's like doing business with the MOB. money will push anything.
Wasn't aware of consumerlab, but am now a subscriber. Thanks!
It comes in handy SO MUCH!
I don't take berberine but I generally really enjoy the brand Life Extension.
Thorne is good imo! I can definitely see positive effects.
Thank you Great information!
Wise advice. I'm taking the Toniq brand also. Just finishing my first bottle - the most noticeable difference is that 'full' feeling lasting much longer, thus no snacking between meals.
That is great to hear! Thank you!!!
It has so much fillers!!!
Which one
@@IsidraSuga Which one has fillers? Can you elaborate on the brand, and how you know please?
Oh Rachel, I'm a supplement Ho too! When my friends say, "why? it just gets pissed down the drain!." It's not true. Look at bodybuilders! Food is medicine BUT our food isn't nutrient dense as it once was. Enter Supplements ! I drew my Vit D levels and they were low, so I started on a Costco brand. I was religious about it for months and took my levels again... no change! So if we are going to put in the work (and it is WORK) let's make sure what we are taking is doing its job too! As always, thanks for doing what you do!
I’m with you! That never made sense to me - if the rationale is that supplements pass right through then wouldn’t everything else??? Thank you once again for sharing your insight. Hope you’re having a great weekend ❤️
@ezkee4674 Did you happen to find a vitamin D supplement that did help raise your levels? Rachel, from one supplement Ho to another 😅 this is some great advice!
vitamin D needs to be taken with food and / or fats to be absorbed
@@robinbrown8536 because I’m darker skinned, living in a cold climate, I take 50k IU with K2 frequently and check levels periodically. I haven’t been “too high” ever!
@@tellyrichardson8309 good point. It does increase absorption (maybe even by 30%) which reminds me, that having a lower % body fat will also help since it’s stored and unavailable in body fat
I am 47 and have taken supplements before they were even popularized by social media. Since about the age of 25 so 20+ yrs. I take Thorne Research and Enzymedica brand supplements and love both brands. Wasn’t sure if your comment of not noticing a difference meant between all three brands listed or just the two?
Hey Jennifer! I have not tried Toniq, yet - but I have it in my supplement cabinet. Once I’m done with my current berberine (Enzymedica) I’ll be trying Toniq. I’m convinced that both Thorne and Enzymedica are great options - when sharing that I didn’t notice a difference it was really to point out that it can be so difficult to tell which one is better. It can be tricky to make videos on this because I can speculate just as much as anyone, but what do I really know for certain. Ya know?
Kindly help me. Am 73 years now is it advisable for me to use berberine?
Two extremely important factors to consider when considering a purchase: The first is price. When the price is high, we tend to equate that with quality. It is a marketing strategy. The second, and extremely important is how Amazon rates their products. I used to shop for the highest ratings first and then for the number of reviews last. So, it would appear that a rating of 4.6 with 12,656 reviews may be a better choice than a 4.7 with 130 reviews, right? Not necessarily! Do the research on those reviews. In general, Amazon may rate the reviews on all of that company's and give an average. Many times, the thousands of reviews may be indicative of the company's review showing other products, very often not even remotely resembling the product itself. For example, the majority of positive reviews may be attributed to a popular thumb drive or a mouse and not necessarily the product. The actual reviews from the supplement may be rated low in comparison. BTW, good work Rachel! I had no idea that this company existed.
Thank you so much, Jay!!! I have had some friends sell in the Amazon space and to learn that fake reviews are rampant it makes it even more challenging to understand! You will love Consumer Labs. I can already tell! Such an awesome resource! Thank you for sharing your insight. Very helpful!
So true. I'm finding this out too.
Is there one that is small enough to swallow(?) I have difficulty swallowing .
I take a few other Tonique products . Love them . also NOW supplements .
Thank you so much for letting us know, Robin! Very helpful!
I always pass on NOW, only just because it looks so generic. Maybe I need to stop judging a book by its cover! ❤
@@hollyshoup4396ya I use there berb and NAC and liver and prostrate, no problems, just good results 😊
Hey Rachel, how many mg’s do you take in a day?
Thank you so much.
I got night leg cramps but it did curb the hell outta my appetite!
Which brand
Well i want to try another brand since the brand i buy is expensive the one that sells Dr.Mercola "Berberine with Micro PQQ" (enhance absorption).
I've been using Toniiq (yes, it is spelled with two I's) and Luma. I've lost weight, and will see if my A1c is lower when I have blood work next week. Has anyone tried Aumeto? Their Berberine supplement contains other ingredients known to help with Glugose control. The brand is also 3rd party tested. By the way, if a supplement brand labels there product as manufactured in an FDA regulated facility, it's not true. The FDA does not regulate, monitor, or test supplements. And thank you so much, Ms. Rachel, for this video. UPDATE: My A1c has lowered. In my opinion, Toniiq is the most pure version, and seems to work for me.
Where did you buy it from?
Thank you❤
So you pushing membership with consumer lab😊
I would love to know how you feel the toniq compares to Thorne, if you feel like there is any difference.
Thank you! I’ll report back!
@MURPHxiii I have both. I started my first week with Thorne, thinking that is 200mg so the dosage is lower and it will give me time to get used to it. Also I thought that I could take a lower dose when exercising in the morning. After a week I switched to Toniiq. I have had zero side effects with both. But I have not noticed a big difference either. Sometimes I have the feeling to feel fuller more easily but it could be totally placebo in my mind. No weight difference at all. I am at the 3rd week. I will be curious to see my cholesterol in a couple months as I’ve always had high cholesterol even when totally WFPB.
I have used the Thorne brand n it worked quite well for me
@@wgmoh409 - could you tell me what your feel thorne brand did for you?
thanks
So basically we need to subscribe to that website ? Nothing important u said that helped us other than the reviews that we should not trust and we should sub for the third party website to verify the product? Hmmmm
lol
Why did you change the Thorne to Toniq? I thought the other helped you. I’m confused
That’s great feedback. With my last video, some people shared that they had more results with one brand over another. Really just a personal experiment to see if there is much difference between the offerings.
What about the Berberine with cinnamon? What’s that about?
All 3 of the brands you have listed have other ingredients that fall into the high glycemic category
Hey Rachel, 🥰hope all is well! I take a few carefully selected (we all think so, dont we?! 😁 ) supplements.... may I ask what brand u r using? FYI- seriously thinking about joining Consumers' Lab - thanks for telling us about it! 😍
So sorry for the delay! Should be linked in the description! Let me know if you have trouble finding it!
Ok… now I really don’t know which brand to get.. lol I only need a supplement for diabetes. So I don’t think a subscription about supplements would be practical. Looking for someone on RUclips that journals the use of a particular brand. Does anyone know of a video like that?
If it helps, I have linked the one I personally thing is best from the resources I have. I went into making this video trying to not push anything but realize most people just want the best option! It’s hard to ever know for sure, but again, it’s what I’m now using.
Consumer Labs sends a weekly email which you can easily delete but the title tells you what they are reviewing, and it includes things like the best water filters, fluoride in toothpaste, SPF, lots of things beyond supplements. You may also learn about a supplement you want to start for healthy aging. I’m pretty thrifty, but I subscribe.
What about buying them from Amazon? Any thoughts?
Risky amazon is a scam put labels
This might be a silly question but if it doesn’t upset my stomach does that mean it’s not working?
Not a silly question at all. It doesn’t bother my stomach at all and I found it worked for me just took some time. I really need to dig into why it has different side effects for different folks.
@@RundownwithRachel you know you really ROCK. THANK YOU
Just speaking the truth.
Remember the world is full of kind people, if you can't find one, be one (be one).
But you already knew that, by your actions. Thank you, what you do to make the world a better place.
Which brand do you use?The link isn't working
Solaray
I tried berberine it caused me heartburn cold sweats , anxiety , I have pcos which brand berberine is best to avoid side effects plz reply 😢?
Girl I’m so sorry. Some people do not jive with berberine. If I were you (and who am I? No expert here!) I wouldn’t take it. Instead may be worth checking out this book “Fasting Like a Girl”. Lots of women have been recommending I read it and much of the topics in the book cover fasting around your cycle and how fasting can help with PCOS. It’s been so enlightening!
@@RundownwithRachel thanku so much for replying ❤️
@@RundownwithRachel also lower dose and take with food till body gets use to it
So then, do sellers that artificially inflate amazone reviews also rampage through youtube leaving comments to pump up their brand and hate on competitors?
You’ve gotta point there.
Hoping peak performance rates high!!?? I take their super berberine with bitter melon 🍈 & cinnamon extract. This is my second bottle thus far!! Much love & happy through ( out) year to all, especially to my fellow VETS and those still serving in theatres worldwide and in space currently!! I am both former US Navy Beachmaster Unit Two-(BMU-2) and then Army infantry OCS and beyond dude!! Thurl G ( one of my many nicknames) on point & now signing off from the Philippines🇵🇭, ghost, roger out, peace,Adios!! All be blessed, safe, healthy, happy, aware, smart, prosperous and great( compassionate)!! YES, si, chai ( Thai), dung ( Vietnamese), ja, oui, Oo ( tagalog filipino for Yes) !! ❤🎉😮😊
Thank you for both your sacrifice and service to our great nation.
Now berberine is beast for weightlost.
Can you elaborate?
About to purchase the Berberine you listed. How is it going so far? Do you like it?
It’s been good! I have the brand that I’ve been sticking with for a while now. Although, I cant say I’ve noticed much of a difference in any of the brands I’ve taken so now I just abide by ConsumerLabs recommendations.
So which brand was it? And where did you buy it from? Thanks
@@danalacy3283 hey there! I have it linked in the description ❤️
@@RundownwithRachelhey I found it! So you like solaray?
@@danalacy3283 yes! Priced well and Consumer Lab likes it, too!
@Rundownwithrachel I'm a Type 2 Diabetic and my A1c is not where i need it to be, too high, right now its at an 11.0, I could really lose some weight, so can anyone tell me which BERBERINE I should take please, oh and I'm on 2 different types of Insulin, 1. TRURAPI (Meals) and 2. BASAGLAR (Bedtime)!! I was taking Metformin, but stopped taking it about a year ago, I was taking it for 20 plus years, I was feeling too many side affects for a long whioe and it was just not working for me anymore, hence my high A1c!! I heard of BERBERINE and I really need help, so I want to give it a try, anyone know which one I sould take please and Thank You!? 😊
Try Intermittent fasting. Find Dr.Mindy on You tube and Dr. Berg. They changed my life. Good luck
Beat Diabetes RUclips Channel may be able to help you
The more information I get the more confused I become!
I’m going by my instincts and if I die I die…period!
I’m beginning to reach that same conclusion.
🤭
What about hydrobeberine
Haha! I wasn't able to watch the video until the very end so the entire time I thought you were saying; Birdbrain! 😂 That would be a great name for a brain supplement! 🧠 😂
Hahah now THAT is clever marketing - you better swipe up that domain name and trademark!
is there a scientific way to test if it is in fact berberine?
i guess berberine glows under UV light and is bitter. so mine seems okay
Best weight loss for women over 40. Can you make any suggestions?
I’m sure others will pipe in, but…Walking is crazy effective and underrated!!!!
Intermittent fasting and low carb was the Only way for me even without exercise.
Consumer Labs doesn´t have Berberine on their menu.
Any update on Toniq? Also so helpful thank you!!
Did not notice any difference between the others I tried tbh. As of recently, I have taken a pause from berberine just to experience what I’m missing. That way when I begin taking it again, I will be even more in tune with the impact.
From my experience, that is one of the best brands. I tried a less expensive brand and ended up going back to Toniq.
Which Berberine brand do you recommend?
Hey! I’m currently taking this one! amzn.to/3MZuWP9
@@RundownwithRachel
Thank you for responding.
Where can I buy tonique berberine?
Hey! It is available via Amazon. Should have a link in the description if you need help finding it.
What brand do you take ?
Great question. I have the one I’m taking linked in the description.
I’m most wary of brands where review after review is super short. “Works great”. “Did the job”. “Got results”. And they often use the same phrasing. Stay away from those.
How about that 3rd party testing...Hope they didn't work for the manufacturer like what seems to be happening with the Vaccines.
Is there a brand you do recommend
Solaray is good.
@@HeartFeltGestureI’m taking the solaray that says 9x absorption on the front. Then someone told me take milk thistle with it to help absorption. I went on the solaray website to price it and found it $5 cheaper at Natural Foods Grocer. 😱. Plus no shipping.
Enzamatick that the only !!!!
So you couldn't tell us which brand they tested and thought was the most reliable. This was clickbait😊
I can see what you mean. As you can imagine Consumer Reports is paid for and they protect it. Should you want to know the brand I used it’s linked. Stopped taking as we are working on making a family 👶
Thorne berberine
An ad for consumer lab? Ha ha. But cool.
No help
The whole video is an ad for consumer labs 😂😂😂 no info what so ever
Metformin made me sicker than I'd ever been in my life! 🤮😪
Ugh I’m so sorry to hear that. But then again - weird perspective is that it may be a good thing. It’s pretty incredible how are bodies know and let us know what doesn’t jive with us. One of my friends had a similar experience and got very sick. Now to hear of all of the awful long term effects she’s relieved that happened to her.
Dr ERIC BERG'S brands are the BEST.
He’s great, but unfortunately he doesn’t sell berberine.
@reneeraw6927 oh I just found that out I wonder why he isn't
@@debraferguson9992 I really don’t know why. He even has a video on Berberine. In the end, I decided against using Berberine. I already have some GI problems. It doesn’t melt fat away. It helps you control your appetite. So I’m going to do OMAD and fast on Saturdays, exactly how Dr. Berg recommends. It’s a self control issue and I’m capable of doing this without a pill. I really enjoy Dr. Berg’s videos.
