What people say about Berberine and energy
“I started berberine and inositol, and began having energy that I did not have before. Somehow, my recovery after working out wasn't as long either.”
“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 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.”
“I take one after every meal and it really helps with not feeling like that since it does a whole bunch of beneficial things for blood sugar/insulin.”
