Just thought I would give you an update….since taking the Berberine my A1C has reduced a couple of points, my triglycerides decreased significantly & my HDL increased from 35 to 50. I haven’t lost any weight like some say would happen but I would say the supplement works.

I used to take berberine on it own for some years until I lost my job. Before I lost my job If get checked regularly for diabetes and I was not even pre diabetic. 3 years later I'm T2. I've been prescribed metformin and have been taking berberine again along with it. Without supplementing I would have not gotten my glucose under control again. Also I drink lemon apple cider unsweetened tea before and during my meals to give my liver a boost.

I have been talking Berberine for over 20years no side effects all blood work good, I am 80 years now taking 450mg 1 hour before meals with Chromium!

my A1C has been high for the past 2 years, and felt it was due to Symvastatin, but I cut the statin from 40 MG to 20 MG and decided to try Berberine, I can't stand Meformin since it made me constipated, however since then I use other supplements that help digestion, but Berberine I have read also provides digesttive bacteria which I hope will keep me regular. I'm in my 2nd day of Beberbine usage but noticed the am glucose is better. Good video

The use for it to control blood sugar was not discovered in 1990s, it is used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine since 5 thousand years. History does not start in the world, when it starts in the West.

This is better than medformin berberine is incredibly amazing.

Thanks for sharing this video. I'm a diabetic type 2 and I've been wary of taking Metformin and reluctantly took the meds after my Dr said my sugar levels are too high. I've just ordered Berberine. Has anyone benefited since the video came out?
Take care everyone. Hope you're well.

I actually like this format.. straight to the point.. and informative.

[ksharpe]

Thank you Dr. Ford. My Dr just recommended I start taking it so I came to YouTube to research it and you were the first one I watched. Great video!

I liked this, but there wasn't any mention of berberine being a pcsk9 inhibitor, which seems to be the source of a lot of its cardiovascular benefit?

[marygaelen]

Wow you must be doing something right. You look great and healthy. On my way to the vitamin isle. Thank you for helping and not

[filipfirlefijn]

I read that after a while this can have negative effects on important bacteria. Would it make sense to take berberine for a month, followed by probiotics, which also have lowering blood glucose effects, for a month and keep on changing every month? Maybe also perhaps with a third ingredient, ashwaganda?

Since you take it what has been your experience? That would have been good info to include

[azdhan]

Super interesting. I know this is an older video. Lately, there has been a Tik Tok Buzz and Social Media Influencer Buzz drawing an equivalency between Ozempic and Berberine. Hardcore critics such as Layne Noton say such equivalencies are invalid when you look at the research. However, he acknowledges a benefit to taking it. I don’t have T2D. Not sure about Insulin Resistance. However, given my ethnic predisposition to a higher personal fat threshold(i.e., tendency to carry more visceral fat around my liver and pancreas), and my genetic predisposition to developing T2D, I am experimenting with Berberine 2x a day plus 1 tablespoon of MCT oil in my moring coffee on an empty stomach. I am doing this with “cleaner” eating, resistance training, and cardio. Again this is a T2D prevention and mitigation strategy and not treatment strategy. Only time will tell if it works for that purpose.

What are your thoughts of using it for cholesterol? I was diagnosed with insulin resistance in the past, but now follow a ketogenic / ketovore lifestyle. I’ve had a bad experience with statins in past and refuse to use them again. I don’t see any traditional cholesterol interventions as an option for me.

[miked]

Will berberine reduce inflammation or plack?

[habiba]

Is it good to start out with 1200mg Berberine for the first time taking it

[GoetzimRegen]

You should take Berberin, because it has an "antiaging" property too.

[maxniederer]

Great info but is there a background music in this video? It causes me distress
