NSF Certified Berberine Supplement, Berberine HCL 1200 mg per Serving, 180 Vegetarian Capsules (90 Servings), Gluten Free, Non-GMO by WeLikeVitamins

I don’t usually write these kind of reviews. However, this was worthy of one. While I wouldn’t ever say there’s any “secret” weight loss pill or method, from my experience this natural supplement seems to help your body to normalize blood sugar, consequently your hunger, appetite, etc. Kind of like undoing a knot, once this occurs I found myself eating less, then my stomach protruded less and I was able to manage my eating and didn’t crave foods (esp carbs) so deeply. My portion sizes seemed to reduce and I could go longer amounts without eating unfazed, while actually having more energy. And not the speedy hyper kind of energy from caffeine. My partner shared similar experiences to me. I can confidently say this does what it says. The only critique is that when I was adjusting to it there were a few days my stomach was a little upset but nothing that seemed unnatural. What actually seems unnatural, is consuming an excess amount of food, not having energy, a protruding stomach, a high BMI, cholesterol level, etc. I highly recommend, however always clear with your doctor or health provider and don’t consider it a magic bullet or substitute to also being mindful of the food you’re eating and to be sure you keep exercising and staying active!

I have now been using "We Like Vitamins" Berberine 900mg capsules for approx three months (1 bottle, 180 caps, 2 caps per day) and have recently ordered/received a second bottle. I started to use Berberine to enhance heart health, with the goal of eliminating the need to take cholesterol (simvastatin) and blood pressure (losartan) medications. One of the claims to fame of Berberine is its favorable impact on cholesterol and I'm happy to say, it did the trick and I've eliminated the need to take a statin drug (confirmed thru blood work). I was hopeful that it would also allow me to get rid of the blood pressure prescription, but alas it did not reduce my moderately high blood pressure and have restarted that medication. Clearly I'm happy with this result. But the best impact has been weight loss! I'm 5'11" and when I started taking Berberine I weighed 198 lbs - not morbidly obese, but definitely on the heavy side. I had begun curtailing food and drink intake about a month prior to starting this regimen, but all together I have lost 30 lbs, with the majority of that weight lose attributable, in my opinion, directly to Berberine. Weight was coming off at a rate of a pound a day, to the point I thought there was a problem with our scale. I've now leveled off at about 168 lbs (haven't weighed this in probably 25 years) I couldn't be happier. I've replaced a Big Pharma medication with a plant based product achieving the same results and have lost weight. Doesn't get much better than that!

I think the 1200 mg is good. Most are like 900. I have taken them for a couple of months and they seem to be a good product. I would recommend them.

I did find this to be the best value per mg of Berberine for my needs available on Amazon. The caps are filled with powder that is bright yellow-orange, seemingly top quality. This is my first Berberine purchase, so I have no other experience to compare this with. I've been taking these as packaged, also have mixed the contents with probiotics to make my own two-in-one caps, and also with boric acid & coconut oil to use hygienically. I'm excited about the benefits I've been reading to improve circulation, blood sugar, cholesterol, antimicrobial etc and I would lean towards it being noticeably effective so far, after a few weeks of use now. I read it's best to take a break from it for a bit at this point. Also that it's best coupled with GFSE and/or querectin. I'm recovering my health from chronic pain and fatigue from probable Lyme that peaked with bacterial strep B sepsis. I received an email from the seller encouraging my feedback. Hope this is helpful.

Helped

My doctor threatened me with Metformin. Triglycerides, blood pressure, and fasting glucose were creeping up. After starting berberine, in just over a month my triglycerides were halved, blood pressure was in the normal range, and HbA1c dropped 5 points. For two years I tried eating vegan, vegetarian, and low carb/high fat keto. While these helped, I was still at the threshold of metabolic syndrome, I feel that berberine really gave my body a boost to start working. We Like Vitamins is a great store and I’m glad I found them on Amazon. The berberine I bought is of excellent quality and best bang for your buck.

I wanted berberine as a supplement to help activate endogenous AMPK, promote mitochondrial biogenesis, and improve blood lipid and triglyceride levels. I cannot attest that I have evidence in my measurable health markers that show improvments in any of these concerns. However, the product is certainly not making me feel sickly. Moreover, the powder inside the capsules is a bright yellow, as expected. I had previously purchased a similar product of a different brand, which produced the same results but had a disappointing pale yellow powder inside its capsules.

Order 2-26-2019 and I received today 2-27-2019. Bottle is marked Made in the USA. Expiration date is Jan/2023. I think this is the still the cheapest in Amazon but please correct me if I am wrong. It is actually 450mg per capsule because the bottle marked 900 mg per serving; (2 x450 mg= 900 mg); therefore, the capsule is not 900 mg but 450 mg. The capsule does not have marked for 900 mg or 450 mg). The capsule is white and I opened it up and it is yellow power, I tasted the yellow power and it is very bitter. It is so bitter, I brushed my tongue many times and the bitter taste still there. Because of that I think this is by far the cheapest and good quality Berberine I can get in Amazon. If not, please let me know. I am Diabetic and I will update 3 months later on my results. Thanks.
