NOW Foods Supplements, Berberine Glucose Support, Combined with MCT Oil for Optimal Berberine Absorption, 90 Softgels

This is my first experience with berberine. I read that it had similar effects as popular weight loss meds like Ozempic or Wegovy. This is how I found out about berberine. My insurance is denying all the medications for weight loss so I decided to try this out. I started taking them Feb. 8, 2025. This review is being written April 1, 2025. In that time I've lost ~50 pounds. Which sounds like a lot, but I'm a VERY large man. So don't get too excited. Along with starting to take berberine I adjusted my diet significantly (this is probably the most important part). I completely cut out carbs and sugar (not counting apples and bananas, other fruit). I increased the protein and veg intake. NO BREAD!!! NO DESSERTS!!! NO SODIE POPS!!! Over time I found that I do not crave food as much. I feel full sooner. My food intake has decreased quite a bit. Taste buds have changed and food tastes better. Milk is sweet now. Its all very exciting. Now, all this does come with a price. Like many others have expressed there is a slight bit of stomach discomfort. I've felt nauseous and have had to run to the bathroom multiple times and it wasn't to vomit. Whatever came out of me was from the depths of Hell. It was NOT solid. It is the total opposite of solid, if you catch my drift. And at first, I didn't read the symptoms and made mistakes but over time you start to feel it before it happens. So, it IS manageable. However, I would not take this on a road trip, a long movie/play, at work, school, etc... Unless you can handle a stream of waste that feels like your butt is a super soaker. So, there is risk involved. Everyone will react differently. All in all, I will continue taking this. I feel like the benefits outweigh the gastric drawbacks. I am ready to lose another 50 pounds and then some. My advice... try it out. You might be surprised.

excellent product, great price, awesome seller. thank you.

Effective for blood glucose control. Lowered my glucose peak after meals even with pasta and lowered my 3am to 6am morning spike. Also similar to my experience with rybelsis (Ozempic tablet form) I did have some loose bowels on some days but better later after a couple of weeks. Also Drinking lots of water or decaf tea during the day. A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) can give immediate feedback to show what works, with what timing and how quickly and how a 15 minute walk can drop the peak levels from pasta. Or how a natural sugar free lozenge with sugar alcohol can elevate BG to over 250mg/dl in 5 minutes. A CGM monitor should also be shielded by a hard protective cover and patch to prevent false low glucose alarms during side sleeping at 3AM.

Putting this as a four-star review so people will see it over the bad reviews. People can be sensitive to berberine because it stimulates enzymes that help the liver process estrogen and other metabolites. If your detox pathways are a bit overloaded, you can experience head pressure, neck tension, or dull headaches as your body temporarily mobilizes toxins or shifts hormone balance. I had a similar experience to DIM (other estrogen balancing supplement) and didn't realize it for two days and had the worst headache and nausea of my life. After taking berberine after a meal and plenty hydrated, I started to get a similar headache, which has continued into the next day. For this reason, I'll be discontinuing the supplement because it's not worth it to see if my body can adjust. Just beware if your body is sensitive, please. 2. Inflammatory sensitivity: Some people with autoimmune or thyroid conditions (Hashimoto’s) are very sensitive to rapid cellular changes. Berberine can change mitochondrial activity and cytokine balance quickly

This is the best non stimulate appetite suppressant supplement I’ve ever used. Not to mention that it improved my sleep dramatically from less cortisol spikes while sleeping from lower blood sugar allowing for deeper REM sleep. A lot of supplements are useless this is not one of them

I read that taking this before a meal can reduce blood sugar spikes, by driving glucose into the muscle cells without the need of insulin. When I take one of these, then have cereal (or other complex carbs) 1-2 hours before bed, I sleep like a baby, and most of the time, I don't need to get up to pee either.

I did my research on berberine after my lab results showed my insulin levels at 27 making me high insulin resistant. I changed my diet no carb or sugars (to very minimum almost nothing) and I just had my labs done again, my Insulin level went down to 14. Very happy with that. I was also able to finally drop some lbs. (14 lbs in about a month and half) before I had struggled to lose weight even while on semiglutide. No other side effects. Pills are big but easy to take. My capsules also got to me pretty stuck to each other BUT THEY ARE GEL LIKE COVERED so get them out of mailbox as soon as theyre delivered. No taste, no after taste. So far so good. Really happy with my purchase.

While NOW are generally fantastic and of high quality supplements, this version of Berberine is not as effective as other more simple brands.

A una semana de tomarlo, se dieron excelentes resultados, mi glucosa bajo a 98, cuándo con XiuDuo no era menor de 120.... Muy contenta!!!

Its really good before my carbs meal go straight to the muscles

I am highly impressed with NOW Supplements Berberine Glucose Support! This product has exceeded my expectations. The combination of Berberine and MCT oil ensures optimal absorption and maximized effectiveness. After just a few weeks of use, I have noticed more stable blood sugar levels, especially after carbohydrate-rich meals. Additionally, my digestion has improved, and I feel a more consistent energy level throughout the day. The softgels are easy to swallow, have no unpleasant aftertaste, and are well tolerated—no stomach discomfort or side effects. For anyone looking to support their metabolic health, this product is a must-have! I will definitely continue using it. 💯 Top quality from NOW Supplements – highly recommended!

Good brand, it came the next days. Will take sometime to show results but shopping experience was good.

He sentido mucha diferencia sobretodo en cuanto a la ansiedad que me daba después de comer.
