Berberine: Natures Ozempic? 

And the worst part is it’s affordable and effective for the patient, but doesn’t bring in money for big pharma. That’s the worst part, right doc?

Contradiction: if there is no studies to know the benefits, how come you know the side effects?

Funny how they don't mention the more severe side effects of Ozempic and the like.

All I heard was “it’s available on the open market and we make no money from prescriptions and office visits”

Not FDA approved makes it even more attractive.

Youll never convince me ozempic is better.

How much did big pharma pay you to make this video?

sorry for anyone who has them as docs.

By the way…it isn’t natures ozempic..it’s natures metformin…so they got it wrong from the beginning. Sorry guys.

Drs be like “let me put you on metformin” instead 🤮

My husband takes it and it's working great for him.

Spoken like true drug reps

Berberine is amazing. Just tried it, totally curbed my appetite!

Thank you Rockefeller educated doctors

I strongly disagree. It has a significant effect on my wellbeing. After taking Berberine for 5 months, I feel amazing: my blood pressure is excellent, my sleep is good, I have lots of energy. Most importantly, my weight has finally gone down. After fifty, it was impossible to lose weight.

I don't need the FDA's approval on anything. I do my own research from reputable sources that are unbiased

We bodybuilders love us some berberine my mom is type 2 diabetic i put her on berberine without any changes she ended up reducing her basal insulin by 50% also known as half lol

Best supplement ever. Reduces blood sugar like no other. No side effects!

Why don’t you talk about the side effects if Ozempic

Some doctors and pharmacist work hand n hand to keep you on those prescriptions

Berberine has been compared more to Metformin from what I have heard

Awwww natural alternatives affecting the surgeons pay? How sad that they can’t make money off everybody. Too many people waking up to the cash cow the “sick” care system we have.

What prescription doesn't have side effects?

Shots fired. Dr Berg is on team Berberine!

I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR 15 DAYS AND IT HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS AND I LOST FOUR POUNDS ALREADY.

I’m not a Dr and I know everyone is different. For me, I’ve been on it for a week. No side affects for me. Lost 2 lbs and I’ve been able to fast without feeling insanely hungry. I generally have this problem with stopping myself from over eating. Now I can do portion control. I am so thankful I found this. I do however have the habit of snacking, like I want to snack. But at least I don’t feel hungry and can tell myself no

Who paid you to say that? Ozimpic companies?

The fact that its not FDA makes it more appealing.

Drug pushing pill merchants criticizing other people's drug of choice. Hilarious

I love berberine ❤

Didn't they just come out with a legitimate study on Berberine that actually did show cardiac benefits?

I take Berberine for T2, I love it no side effects

I’ve taken berberine for 3 months now down 12 lbs and no side effects in fact I feel better when I take it. Can’t wait to see what 6 months will look like .

Meanwhile Ozempic's side effect is unaliving yourself 😂

Loving the comments! 😁😁😁

Peer reviewed usually means FDA approved today. FDA recalled tomorrow.. FACTS

Ozempic side effects include include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain, bloating, burping, heartburn, loss of appetite, blurred vision, and injection site reactions ,hypoglycemia (especially when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas), allergic reactions, gallstones, tachycardia, pancreatitis, and kidney damage. Additionally, animal studies suggest Ozempic has the potential to cause thyroid cancer, which may lead to lumps in the throat and dysphagia

I just started berberine 3 says ago and have noticed increased energy so far. It is too early to know about weight loss. I have been able to maintain munchies. I have heard it is good to take with ginseng and cinnamon. There are so many brands to try and much cheaper than ozempic (which I was on for awhile but it is expensive unless you get a coupon or insurance will cover it). I am trying more of a natural route and hope it works! I have heard good things.

It’s actually really easy to be a “doctor “ these days. Also take your shots. Because I said so

Sounds like 2 Drs worried about people getting healthy and not needing their services

What you guys always fail to mention is the 800 pound gorilla in the room... The Pharmaceutical Industry...The Insurance Industry Our Healthcare industry has a strangle hold around ALL medical practitioners...ALL publications peer reviewed or not.. Money controls the Industry...I wish you guys would talk about that But if you did...your jobs would be in jeopardy

I love Berberine, helps my digestion and is perfect for when I eat carbs. I’ve tested my blood sugar and it works! Doctors rely too much on “there’s not enough studies” to justify their synthetic drugs. Synthetics work but if a natural version works just as good why not use it first? Looks to me like these doctors are whipped by their employers, which I’ll remind you is not their patients or other doctors but the pharmaceutical reps that give them their check. Once you realize that it makes sense why some sleezy doctors never recommend natural alternatives over synthetic/RX/OTC drugs. Even synthetic vitamins are made by pharmaceutical manufacturers 😭 which wouldn’t be bad if they ran tests on natural substances but there’s no money in something that’s naturally occurring. Also makes sense why these greedy companies are trying to patent natural compounds. It’s crazy shit show and these doctors are just pawns in a much bigger game at play….

Definitely better than Gastroparesis

The more I watch of these dudes, the more I understand they know very little.

I’m taking Berberine! Lab work on the 28th of May! Keep you posted! So far noticed no cravings, so definitely an appetite suppressant! No side effects! So far so good. I try to eat clean and I have to sensible cheat days! I don’t do dairy or gluten. I’m good

Oh nooo, berberine is gonna give me an upset tummy? :( looks like I should just take the risk of developing diabetes, or better yet, get on metformin and suffer the side effects of that drug. Thanks docs!

Berberine is also known to help insulin resistance in pcos.

I use berberine… And, have AMAZING RESULTS!!!

Because legal prescription meds don’t have side effects 🤦🏻‍♀️. PALEEEEEEZE!

Do you guys have to be wearing your bandanas all the time? You're not in the operation room,, Plus you're very jittery and always looking at each other calm the f*** down. What? Let's all read this again together.

Berberine cleared my acne and periorial dermatitis. My top supplement.

They don’t make money off of Berberine. Watch Dr. Eric Berg!!

I love Berberine

It works! I take it in a divided dose everyday!

These guys appear to know very little beyond what the pharmaceutical overlords think important. I'm so sick of smug MDs.

Take it in the middle of a meal or at the very end of eating.

Sounds like you guys aren't up to date on your studies

This is a very confusing vid, guys. I have done deep dives on both, but this vid isn't really educating anyone properly on either. Honestly, you should tell your viewers to consult their functional medicine doctor. There's a lot more to both of these options and everyone should do a deep dive. I don't think Ozempic is a safe option, and many people, like me, have issues absorbing regular Berberine. I wish there was an easy button, but balancing hormones and finding the right mix of supplements requires professional help, muscle testing and trial and error.

They are definitely promoting Ozempic at what price I wonder

Paid by BIG PHARMA..

No studies cuz no big $$$. Happens all the time with natural things that work. Like pharma studies are well run anyway.

Been taking berberine for over a year and never had diarrhea or any other gastrointestinal issues.

Ozempic BAD !!! Ozempic VERY bad !. Almost killed me.

Hey docs, I am RN and I love it

Been taking it for years, never any side effects. No constipation don’t know what he’s talking about. Help me manage my hunger throughout the day help my blood sugar, insulin levels, etc. great great supplement highly recommended.

Making videos about stuff they literally know nothing about. Not a thing! Everything that guy said was shit he read off the internet and probably doesn’t even know what it does.

As opposed to the vomiting dizziness And Worse. Also the FDA approved things like opioids. And now we have a major opioid problem in this country. Not to mention all the shit they put in our food

That one doctor is very incorrect, I take Berberine supplements on a daily basis and I have very good health; it helps with my inflammation and helps keep my glucose in check..

These guys look like melted ice cream cones.

Funny they just listed all the side effects of Metformin

Just like the news give you enough conflicting information to confuse you?

The side effects you mentioned are the side effects for Ozempic, in addition to thoughts of suicide, etc.

It’s always rich to see Docs show such concern for side effects from natural supplements, but not medications. Notice, he did not talk about Dihydroberberine which can be given at lower dosages, and be more effective than regular barberine but he is correct more research needs to be done

Wow manipulation station 🚉

Please do a video on natural things we can take that are great, like tumeric drinks etc

Indeed.... We don't need to be taking to much supplements. We should get all our nutrients from whole foods. Especially dark greens, cooked. But I must say, got those in liver failure Berberine can help a lot. Hugs.

Yes, i am in charge of my own health, so I'll keep taking my Berberine...

Berberine has been very well studied. There is far more to it than this video.

WHEN is the best time to take berberine; and any other prerequisites? I think 1-2 b 4 Meal? Berberine helps balance Sugar/carbs keeping insulin from spiking, I believe.

As pre diabetic Im using..take with food.

Nothing approved just the chemical poisoning on the pharmacies 😅😅😅

When you see a doctor being completely biased towards one side you know they gain a lot more by having people take the other.

If doctors are urging you not to take something…it’s definitely more reason to use it

Pushing Ozempic obviously, sales must be dropping

This video solidified my faith in Berberine.😂😂😂

My MD recommends Berberine and it worked

Gee, I wonder what they would recommend that I try instead of berberine 🤷🏾‍♂️

My elderly mother has been taking it for about 2 months or so. Shes diabetic. She finger sticks almost daily and she’s been very impressed with the reduction of glucose levels. She not a health person at all and she even admits the benefits. Berberine flat out works. I just started taking it. Edit: forgot to mention her blood sugar levels have dropped so much she has stopped taking her Metformin!

Those side effects comes with most prescription drug warnings as well

Thank you! I was just about to pick some of that up!! Anything you can suggest that is a supplement to aid in weight loss?

There are studies on berberine combined with black pepper from a medical university. Before I knew about needing to take it with pepper for greater effectiveness, I was just taking berberine with ginger. Man o Man did that work for me! At 5'4" I was 230 lbs and in size 18 dresses and pants about to have to go up to a 20. In 1 1/2 years I was down to an 8. And my first couple of bottles were from Walmart. That's how much pain I was in. I was desperate. By the time I was half way through my 2nd bottle regular customers were noticing my face want so puffy. Today my have had definition and visible bone structure where as before I looked like I had a giant fat smiley face.

What a bunch of stooges. Throw a bunch of lies out then flip the “you’re in charge of your own health”

I'm a natural bodybuilding for 15 years am 30, and its harder to train all the time like my early 20s. I have 19 inch biceps naturally and am lean, not a 6 pack like my early 20s, but I lost 15lb in 5 weeks on berberine and I've tried thousands of dollars of herbs and natural supplements over the years. I take the reccomended dose in the morning and at night with meal, and I do cardio 5 times a week, my belly is flat again , I am getting vascukaeiry in my arms again and legs. Berberine with korean red ginseng and apple cider vinegar with cordyceps is what I take and have lost 15lb. I took the other things before and never have I looked leaner in recent years until I started berberine.

Its been around for a long long time though.its helped me.

Lol i also like how we say theres no studies showing benefits but we can talk about the anacdotal side effects with confidencw but anacdotal benefits are not shown

These comments are savage I must say

There’s a certain feeling I always feel after seeing doctors, it’s helpless. They never actual look help you with shit and only ever give “welp :/“ responses

It definitely helps with my glucose levels.

I wish more MD's would research the topic they speak about! NCBI, NIH etc have many studies on Berberine and not just two Doc's pretending to be knowledgeable on the topic for laughs. I'm sure they've studied the Newcastle diet that reverses T2 etc. I'm sure the side effects of Metforim are superior to that of Berberine but they practice medicine emphasis on practice and leave the real research for the scientists.

How do you know the side effects of it? From the small poorly run studies that aren’t peer reviewed?
