There's a peer reviewed study on PubMed about the powerhouse combination of berberine and fenugreek together. I started taking both of them about 2 mos.. Ago along with other herbs that keep bad bugs in check and eventually just taking the two power herbs only. I don't want to be TMI but it restored my bowel habits so that is healthy compared to what it was. I tried a million other things and as a nutritionist it was mind bending to not find the answers for some of my issues. I will never stop taking it. It's also helped with the menopause weight loss stale, it's a bit slow at times but very steady instead of not at all. I eat a super high nutrition diet that helps and works well with this protocol.
Doctors and NIH dont want you to take any herbal supplements, they need to keep you sick and on big piosonous pharma‼️ 3 letter Agencies are no longer crediable for researchers,they lie.
I had bleeding ulcers I suffered with for a couple years. I took the Dr prescribed typical meds for it (protonix and a couple more). After having an endoscopy my Dr said surgery was only thing that would help me. He told me if I only eat certain things and take the meds its 1% chance I could heal and not need surgery but it wouldnt last. Luckily I came across a post in a forum from someone who used berberine and mastic gum to treat their ulcers. I took these in the 2 months between the first endoscopy and the second. After taking these for a couple days I was able to eat without pain for the first time in 2 years. My Dr was shocked because I was the 1% that healed and no longer needed surgery. Its been 5 years and I take these at the first sign of any stomach issues. Instead of antacids or other stomach meds I take the mastic gum.
Can people who are on antidepressants take Berberine? I was trying to find medications that can't be taken with Berberine, I couldn't find any research on this.
Yes I enjoyed this as well ! Just wondered if you don’t eat all day I follow omad is it safe to take berberine after dinner and before bed? I’m having a hard time with 2 capsules . I can only handle one ? I also heard not to take it before exercise , only after . I’m having a hard time taking two a day the bloating and abdominal pain is severe . Can’t do 1000 only 500 . Will I notice any benefit?
So vibrant, so enthusiastic! So inspiring! And I feel greatly underappreciated for her unparalleled, extensive teachings in her many books and public appearances. Such a giving person. I highly doubt anyone will be able to carry the shining torch of excellent health as well as she did.
Phytosome berberine , sounded great until I heard it has sunflower and grape seed. I get inflammation and joint pain from these in oil form. I am Very sensitive to omega 6.. I wonder if omega 6 sensitive people can tolerate phytosome berberine? Thanks for the great info and for sharing the great facts about berberine beyond just a weight loss pill. I am an under weight , person showing some insulin resistant . My natural path put me on berberine for blood sugar and gut health , and it’s over all health benefits. Thanks again. I am getting back to a keto type of eating , I dropped it sometime during Covid.
The new owners of Braggs are getting their apples from Bill Gates, who covers them with byproducts from cannola oil and soy oil. These are dangerous Trans fats that cause heavy disease. Leave it to Bill Gates to make something unhealthy out of something wonderfully healthy. I'll stick to making my own.
It raised my liver enzymes which is quite common apparently. Be careful it did lower my glucose but I will not take something that’s affecting my liver
Thank you for telling me about cold showers,my skinny husband thatdoes that.A scale my nutritionist at work and also at a supplemental shop has a scale that tells you has is how much fat,muscle,water etc.U have. She said I have a lot of muscle for doing physical work!
I have used Goldenseal when I was sick and I got better fast but I lost weight,didn’t know why. I had read when you take it ,only take short term. Berberine one is what I am taking using now because I want to have a little honey in tea. I have low thyroid,gain easily.Anything to lower cholesterol. I don’t want diabetes. I don’t want to be obese so need to get healthier!
That’s very interesting. But where do these cravings come from? Nobody is really talking about it but the root cause is parasites and metal toxicities.its seem berberine is great but it’s not addressing the root cause. Ok American diet is the worst I agree, but sugar isn’t the main culprit here…. How about glyphofate!!!! You know the extremely toxic pesticide that’s on all the crops wheat and what not. This in itself causes metabolic and endocrine disruptions and causes blood sugar levels to go cray cray and for obesity to prosper
Actually when we eat bad sugars used by major corporations that use seed oils , MSG, Maltose Dextrose, Carmel Color , dyes, & God only knows what else!? Our bodies create Evil Sugar receptors that tell our Smart old Brain..ummm I craving this Sweet Poison..We have to learn to say NO to those receptors of many kinds. We nèed to Be the Boss!❤
I used to be on Metformin until I found this herbal supplement my doctor said my A1C looks great took me off of my medication and I strictly take this for my blood sugar works great for me I get mine at GNC
I am from Canada, it is available in most health food stores. Also on Amazon . I order from a Canadian company. My natural path suggested to look for a third party tested product. I started out low dose by half for the first week. I opened the caps up and divided them in half by eye balling , and poured the content into empty gel caps. A bit tedious but only had to divide 3or 4 caps. I was able to tolerate full pill by weeks end. Now on two caps daily. No issues at this point. Follow up with natural path in three months.
