Berberine Shrinks Arterial Plaque, New Study Finds 

I've been taking it for almost 3 years. Dropped 115 pounds, cholesterol looking great, no longer pre-diabetic, and I'm feeling fabulous!

I'll never forget what Dr Tina Moore said in your last interview with her: "Just take a berberine and go for a walk." What I love is that in combination, these two underlooked habits quickly make such a difference to me. Her interview was 7 months ago and now I'm 4 months free of daily grand-mal and complex partial temporal lobe seizures because of this channel, Time-restricted feeding, short walks and berberine baby!!

Been taking it gor a year. Dropped 108lb, reversedT2 and got optimum blood pressure and lipids. Keto 6 months and now lion diet 5 months. Feel incredible

berberine + milk thistle + tudca + nac are game changers for me

Our American Natives have been using GOLDENSEAL for centuries...to heal all skin and gut conditions..it contains berberine...Thanks for your awesome channel🍁🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦

Been taking for 5 years... Panel came back looking like my 18 Year old for the last 3 years...I keep it on re- order/Subscription 👍...rid myself of Diabetes... blood sugar in the 60's... blood pressure 128/58...win, win

Thanks for keeping us updated with all the new information that is coming to light!!

Natto works great too. I had a 60% occlusion in my carotid artery that reduced to 16% by eating natto daily for 2 years combined with a relatively low carb diet. Thanks for your great videos!

This is such great and useful info. Thanks for all the great work you do 🙏🏻

Been taking it for 3 years and feel great! You are the reason I started! Now It has another plus to keep using it!

Exciting news! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your time much appreciated.

I’ve been using your Vitamin D3/K2, Berberine and magnesium glycine powder. No more evening sugar cravings and sleep has improved greatly. I just wish the Berberine pills were smaller. Weightloss has been a breeze with that supplementation. Thank you.💛

HIGH INTENSITY HEALTH IS NUMERO UNO!!! Thanks broski!

Thank you for your information. I've been on the scary journey of being diagnosed as prediabetic,pre-diabetic, am taking berberine and fennugreek for 8 months now.

Excellent information! Thank you for the breakdown!

Thank you for the information and highlighting the health benefits of berberine. I have some that I never took because I've been supplementing with others such as niacin. Now, listening to your discussion, I will definitely begin a daily regimen with the berberine. Guess I just needed a little spike of statistical info.🤪 Thanks again!

I have been taking it about 2 years, no side effects. Losing weight is an added bonus.

The most effective video I’ve seen so far for high cholesterol. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge ❤

Thanks, Mike, for the update. I just started taking Myoxcience berberine again a couple of weeks ago. It helps confirm why I'm taking it when I hear reports like this.

A good food source of berberine is barberries. They are found in stores that specialize in Persian cuisine, and are known as zereshk.

I'm SO glad I saw this. I've taken berberine, along with IF 4 days a week low carb. The other 3 days moderate carb, low sugar. Chest pain gone. Taking 2 berberine a day.

Thank you for the wake-up on Berberine and really appreciate the references to pub med.

And, Thank you for sharing! Informative as always! Looking forward to others.

Thank you for the information. I've been taking Berberine for a couple years now and it has brought my liver levels way down and helps with my a1c.

I have been taking daily now for several months ...but need to take 2 daily now not 1 Thanks for study as usual very informative👍🤗

Thanks Mike. I'm convinced now to try it. Just placed an order.

Great information the 1st time I heard Berberine I am a cardiac patient thank you very much! Sincerely, Philip

I, too, have been taking for several years. Blood sugar levels are on point and It helps so much I no longer have sugar cravings

I told my doctor I wanted to switch over from 500mg of Metformin, to 500-1000mg of berberine. She said she had no advice because it was out of her training and protocol. I’ve been taking 500 of each for a week. Tonight I stop the Metformin. Hoping this works. Using a modified Keto diet.

Nicely substantiated information. Thank you!

Wow, critical health advice and data. Thank you!

Great video, As a bodybuilder eating a tun of meats year round I and my clients us this product as well, with TUDCA. If you use the compounds and are very active you will be blown away with how you look and feel...

I have only been taking this for about 2 weeks so all I can offer are my initial impressions which are positive. After a recent high calcium score in my arteries, I decided to make significant reductions to my diet to greatly reduce or eliminate when posssible refined sugar and grain products. I also intermittent fast with meals generally between noon and 7 pm. I have dropped about 12 lbs since starting. Now, my significant diet changes alone certainly would have led to most of my weight reduction. But my impression so far is that the berberine makes me feel more full and sustains that feeling almost until the next meal. My cravings for the sugar/carbs do not seem as strong as before when I had been intermittent fasting alone. I am taking two 500 mg capsules as in the study and I fortunately I have had no other side effects than reduced hunger. For me that is a big plus as it makes it easier for me to simply eat less yet not feel hunger or a desire to binge on treats occasionally. If this holds true over the coming months, then I'll be really happy as it could make it easier to keep the weight off which by itself would drive general health improvements. If there is a reduction in arterial plaque levels at the rates noted in this study that would be wonderful. Time will tell.

Great 👍🏻 news. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you for the great advice!

I’m going back to it, I was taking it last year, but I stopped because I wasn’t sure how effective it was being. However I have been struggling to maintain my weight loss since Christmas. Maybe the Berberine was working, thank you for reminding me. Sometimes it feels like I’m juggling so many factors to keep the weight off since menopause. It gets exhausting, so I appreciate this. Love the tshirts too

Ok. I finally ordered some Berberine. Thank you Mike. May we all attain optimal functioning for ourselves.

Wonderful news! Thank you 🙏🏽

Great information. Thank you

Awesome video Mike. The Chinese medicine herb is called huang lian. The plant is actually the source of 3 different herbs used in the practice of Chinese Medicine. There are great herbal formulas that were designed for cardiac complaints. Gua lou xie bai ban xia tang would be used for chest pain related to cardiac events. I would love to see a study on those herbs for the effect they have on arterial plaque.

I’ve been using it for a shutouts help control glucose levels. Thank You for this new information.

Very helpful information, thanks.

@mike thanks for all you do! Can you please cover hygiene products that are dangerous/safe like deodorants, shampoos, soaps etc and how they can affect our health?

I recall the video you did where you and your wife had scans and the doctor commented to her how little fat she had around her liver. I never forgot that. It would be great if she could give us a refresher on everything she does as far as diet and fitness to stay that way. I come from a demographic of people who can have diabetes while appearing very thin. It is hard to even know if you are on the right track when you are in danger of being TOFI. Thanks for all of the education you share.

Thank you so much for this information! ❤

Thank you so much for this

Mike, thank you so much for all you do with this channel. I'm convinced that if our "healthcare system" wasn't actually just a "disease management system" but was legitimately meant to support and foster good health, it would have long ago looked into and clinically studied traditional diets and medicines from around the world to see what legitimately works and what doesn't, and would standardize and promote what it finds to be efficacious and healthful. Sadly, all it's about anymore is pushing artificial, mass-produced, pill-shaped (or injection ready) chemical toxins that treat symptoms while also destroying a plethora of other systems throughout the body, and sometimes even damaging mental health and inducing self-harm ideation. Our "healthcare" system is sick to the core, and we really need to do all we can to fix it.

I predicted and still hope that we will return to natural herbs and synergistic food combinations to help ourselves. There is SO much we can use to enhance our health growing in our back gardens.

Great information. thanks for your work. You really deserve to have a Pop filter shield on your Microphone. Your voice is great and it deserves to be heard at its best.

Excellent stuff! Thank You

I also like Aged Garlic Extract. Tocotrienol. And Glisodin

REALLY AWESOME VIDEO. THANK YOU. == I have approached my local COSTCO two separate times, at least, for giving recommendations on paper and mentioned BBR to the pharmacy. -- Let's all do this: mention BERBERINE to our local COSTCO, via recommendations on paper and via direct approach to the pharmacist, in reference to this video here.

Always great info thanks!

Great video, Mike!

I just started taking berberine about 3 weeks ago and I already noticed a drop in sugar cravings

Been taking BBR for 2 months now. It stops Rosuvastatin from elevating my blood glucose. About 2 weeks into taking Rosuvastatin for lowering my LDL, I noticed my fasting glucose in the morning went up by 15 points. Asked my doc if adding BBR is ok. He gave a thumbs up, and my fasting glucose went back to normal in a few days and it has been normal since.

Thank you, Mike!

Thank you, more and more we are learning TCM is so good..

That is very interesting, have been experimenting with Indian foods such as curries, like korma, vindaloo and biryia. All of the spices are fairly cheap and you can get large quantities for small prices. I usually serve all of the foods over turmeric rice flavored with chicken broth because I read that turmeric is not absorbed unless mixed with a fat. I'm glad getting healthy is so tasty.

I have been taking Berberine on a doctor's recommendation and find it has helped. But Nattokinase was the only thing that really made the blood clots completely go away - especially in my legs, which since Covid have had so much worse varicosity!

I'm intrigued and will research further. Thanks!

Great info ,thank you !

I have been taking Berberine for two years now. Along with a clean, ketogenic diet, It has helped me keep my blood glucose in check. Although initially more effective, its efficacy has diminished over time for blood glucose control. I was initially being treated for diabetic retinopathy, and since starting Berberine, I no longer have experienced any fluid buildup in my eyes.

Huberman quit berberine, said it gave him headaches. Thanks for all your videos Mike, they are helping me improve my health. I am blessed with great health at 68 years old and mostly ride mt. bikes, but you have convinced me to start weigh lifting.

Thank you for a very educational discussion on the cholesterol topic ! Like the t-shirt merchandise.

I have been talking it for about 6 months looking forward to great results

Yeah, idk about this. I've been through PSSD for a couple of years, and now I'm very reluctant to try supplements known to negatively influence libido. There are a few posts on r/supplements complaining about lower sex drive on berberine.

I started taking berberine and aged garlic ( "Kyolic" brand) seven years ago upon the recommendation of my cardiologist, who is also board-certified in Intergrative Medicine. My progression of atherosclerosis was put in check. I take pravastatin and Metformin. I monitor uric acid levels and exercise. I'm 75 years old and rarely see my cardiologist. He is cautiously optimistic after an echo cardiologram. No use repeating nuclear medicine tests or CAC. He does particle studies on my blood lipids. My primary practice physician does all of the bood glucose tests and uric acid levels. I do interval training on an exercise bike and lift weights and swim.

Fantastic. Thank you Mike.

Very good. Thank you.

I tried berberine last year because I read so many good things about it. I was bummed as I was dizzy, nausea, vomited, lethargic, and I felt like I was going to pass out. I tried it with and without food. I guess it is not for me. I am glad so many people have had positive outcomes!

Berberine is so clearly superior to Metformin, it’s a no brainier between the two. Berberine is also as effective for controlling blood glucose, but also has none of the negative effects on exercise and muscle building.

Wow - thank you so very much. Know soo many people with cardiovascular problems post vaccine. Will share this far and wide 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿☄☄☄

Thank you !

I was taking Berberis Vulgaris tincture for few years for the gallbladder after a bad attack and haven't had another one since

I’m just one year past a silent ‘widow maker’ heart attack, caused by 1 artery 99% blockage, treated with installation of a stent and high doses of drugs like statins, anti platelets, beta blockers, etc. I had awful side effects from the statins so I just stopped those and I’ve gotten the others drugs vastly reduced. Just spoke to my cardiologist yesterday and he’s said I will need to stay on the ticagrular, an anti-platelet’ medication that you’re mentioning here today as being a cause of increased plaguing. I can’t tell you how deceived I feel, knowing these drugs are creating a lifetime of income for these medical people at seniors’ expense. Thank you for providing this information publicly. I’ve got insulin that whole metabolic syndrome and I started a keto diet a few weeks ago. I’m going for my 1 year blood panel, and another heart imaging test. Then, I’ll be weaning off off the ticagrular and getting ON the berberine. Without his permission if necessary.

Great info, Thankyou.

Thank you for sharing

Could you do a video on possible downsides of taking Berberine? Who should take it versus who should not?

Thank you I plan on trying this

Excellent!! Thanks😊

Awesome - so great to stop diabetes and for CVD 💪💪💪

I take with Milk Thistle as it's absorbed better.

Fantastic, I have been using Berberine since almost 3 years 🙏 also it’s worth mentioning for cardiovascular disease Red Yeast Rice both should be used together with Nattokinase , CoQ10 with PPQ… Vit K2 and Systematic Enzymes.. great info as usual . Thank you 🙏🇦🇺🦘❤️

Cheers so much for sharing 😊❤

Thank you

Does it reduce soft or calcified plaque? Does it reduce exercise endurance like Metformin?

What I would like to know is if berberine has the same blunting effect on exercise adaptation that metformin does.

Thank you for the great information. I just started berberine a couple of months ago.....

Thanks, I still don't see anyone else talking about this, even though it is one of the most important topics, as evidenced by all the well-meaning folks giving unproven guidance about "how to clean out your arteries" here on YT. I'm surprised by the continuation of plaque buildup with the statins which are designed to slow it down. Loved this too: "Just talking about supporting metabolic health..." 😁 Great video!

Mike, what about loss of muscle mass by decreasing mTor as occurs with metformin?

I am taking Berberine has a way to stop Metformin- as Met. has many side affects I don't want, such as diminished B1/B12 that really started messing with me. I have backed off Metformin substantially so waiting to see how it goes. Living in Canada I do not have to pay for most medication and taking vitamins for a replacement actually costs me more money- but better health is worth it.

Thank you for this video! I've taken Berberine for several years. I'm really glad to know it's even better than I had thought. Berberine with Bitter Melon Experience: Bitter tastes at the end of a meal provoke a reaction that I feel in my gut. Once, I made a cup of tea with a capsule of Bitter Melon and a capsule of Berberine, and I drank it after the meal had "settled." I was experiencing a craving of sorts for something more , possibly because the stomach had just emptied. Instead of having a desert, I drank my tea and got a sort of whiskey shudder that lasted awhile--resolving with warm sensations that spread throughout my gut. This makes me wonder if tastes signal biochemical reactions in the body to prepare to receive that which is swallowed. Perhaps the taste of "bitter herbs" can amplify their beneficial effects. For me, the right time for the tea is after a satisfying meal, just when I might have an urge to get some dessert. And I doubt just swallowing the capsules to avoid the "bad taste" would do the same thing.

Very active. 145 pound male. Yet 3 heart attacks since 2011 and I now have 5 stents in my heart, And this is the first I have heard of Berberine.

Would love to hear a discussion about outcomes and down stream effects of clearing arterial calcium. Could it expose damaged endothelium and increase clot risk 🤔

Thanks.

Thanks, Cheers from central America.

I’m currently one year into a four year double blind clinical study of a PCSK9 med for triglycerides. Protocol is now one injection every six months. My carotid atherosclerosis is still progressing, though slowly. I’ll try berberine supplements to see if they provide additional help.

Thank you for another wonderful video! Can you review the studies from yesterday’s WSJ article about metformin not actually effective for prevention of diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc? The article mentions Sinclair and other doctors and honestly mocks anybody who believes in metformin, fasting or cold exposure for longevity (from a tiny bit of research I found that those studies were sponsored by Slim Fast and Astra Zeneca.) I’m so nervous about the effects of this study - for one, my dad is pre-diabetic and after reading this article has decided to stop taking his metformin after reading. If you make a video about it I want to send it to him to keep him on the path to health. Thank you for everything you do :)
