Yes, for most people. 87% of 82 people who reported on Berberine for blood sugar say it improved. 10% noticed no change and 4% say it got worse. That is about the typical result for blood sugar (87% across 3 options).
Ranked #2 of 3 for blood sugar.
“Hard to tell, my glucose levels were always good anyway. They are a bit better now. I am just taking 500mg daily (instant release).”
“I actually tried Berberine which is an OTC supplement with similar effects and I almost passed out, my insulin dropped so much I couldn’t think or focus clearly at all.”
“berberine helped with my blood sugar somewhat but nothing would make my blood pressure budge.”
“I started berberine for high blood sugar but quickly noticed mood and energy enhancing effects from it. I've been taking 500 mg daily...I experienced the worst gastrointestinal issues ever, pure yellow diarrhea and smelly piss.”
Conclusion: Treatment with berberine may be safe since it does not increase the incidence of total adverse events and the risk of hypoglycemia. Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=292975, identifier CRD42021292975.
Conclusion: There is strong evidence supporting the clinical efficacy and safety of berberine in the treatment of DM, especially as an adjunctive therapy. In the future, this may be used to guide targeted clinical use of berberine and the development of medications seeking to treat patients with T2DM and dyslipidemia.
Conclusion: In addition, Berberine is found to have a beneficial impact on gene regulation for the absorption of cholesterol at a daily dose of 300 mg in humans, an amelioration on glucose accumulation at 1.0 g daily dose was also observed. For all these reasons, this review gives an important good account of the impact of Berberine in obesity treatment and prevention.
