What people say about Berberine and mood
“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 feel really really happy, I keep dancing lol. Probably placebo, but I didn't expect feel good mood benefits!”
