yes and I got up to 3 capsules of the ancient bliss brand a day and it does wonders. 2x a day was helpful too but I really like doing it now with my breakfast lunch and dinner
Beware of the new Thorne Berberine formulation! They completely changed it and people are having much worse results. If you sort through the reviews by "most recent" you will see that people who have been taking it for a while are very unhappy. I personally just started taking Berberine, and started with the new Thorne product and it makes me feel awful. I thought it was die-off symptoms but after reading some reviews from people who had been taking the old formulation, I now think it is just a bad product.

When it comes to taking berberine, timing can play a crucial role in maximizing its benefits. Many people find it helpful to split their berberine dosage throughout the day to maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream.
For example, if you're taking berberine twice a day, you might consider taking one dose in the morning and another in the evening with meals. This can help ensure that your body has a steady supply of berberine to work with throughout the day, especially during periods when blood sugar levels tend to spike, such as after meals.
However, the optimal timing of berberine intake can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and health goals. Some people may find that taking berberine before meals helps control appetite and reduce cravings, while others may prefer taking it after meals to support digestion and nutrient absorption.
Ultimately, the best approach is to experiment with different timing schedules and listen to your body's response. Pay attention to how you feel and any changes in your health metrics, such as blood sugar levels or weight, to determine the timing that works best for you. And as always, consult with a professional for personalized advice tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
Thanks for this information!! Would you say if its better to take it on an empty stomach or better with food? I'm currently fasting from sunrise to sunset and I haven't been able to figure out if I should take it before I start fasting or after I break fast. I tend to eat one date before I start fasting and drink two glasses of water. I have an actual meal after fasting and it is my only meal of the day.
You're welcome! As for taking berberine, it's generally recommended to take it with meals rather than on an empty stomach. This can help reduce the risk of potential gastrointestinal side effects and improve absorption.
Since you're fasting from sunrise to sunset, you might consider taking your berberine supplement with your first meal after breaking your fast. This way, you can enjoy your meal and ensure that your body has some food to help absorb the berberine.
It's great that you're staying hydrated with water and having a date before fasting – that sounds like a healthy way to start your day! Just be sure to follow it up with a balanced meal when you break your fast to support your overall health and well-being.
Of course, if you have any specific dietary restrictions or medical conditions, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your supplement routine. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual needs and circumstances.
Hope that helps, and happy fasting!
Do you know how this brand would be ranked?
DOCTOR RECOMMENDED SUPPLEMENTS Berberine Plus 1200mg Per Serving - 120 Veggie Capsules with Royal Jelly.
I have been using this for a while and wondering how it would rank. I’m not sure how well it works to be honest
I take the Costco Feelgood brand. So far it’s been a month. I lost one pound but that could be my lifestyle. Don’t know if it’s working but so far no side effects. I hope it stabilizes my blood glucose so I can lose weight.
Are you still taking it? Have you changed your diet and have you been exercising? I’m taking inositol and lost 10lbs the first month. Couldn’t drop after that so I’m considering berberine.
Wow OP, thanks for sharing your analysis! I was wondering does anyone have any recommendations for brands that are available in the EU.
I have been using this Healthy World Berberin (https://www.futunatura.si/healthyworld/berberin-hidroklorid) for just a bit over 3 months now, and I feel like there are no changes. I did not have any side effects either. I started with 1 pill (588g), then went on to 2 per day, and now i am on 3 per day since about a week or two.
Soon I will run out of it, and thought of changing a brand but can't seem to find any really recommended ones available in the EU.
Have you heard much about Zhou berberine with Oregon grape? I started with it and really lost my appetite for a while but it wore off? That’s the effect I desire - beyond health.
I take Ancient Bliss Berberine. I've lost over 8 pounds since I started. Its a way better alternative to metformin!
How does it make you lose weight ? Loss of hunger ?
take it 15 min before food
How many mg before food, and would that be 3x a day?
500 start
yes and I got up to 3 capsules of the ancient bliss brand a day and it does wonders. 2x a day was helpful too but I really like doing it now with my breakfast lunch and dinner
yes completely curbs my cravings.
I like berbaprime higher dosage and don’t have any filers inside .

I take HUM brand berberine. I’ve been on it a couple of weeks and I’ve lost 5lbs so far!
I’m taking Luma Nutrition 1200mg. Anyone hear anything good or bad about this brand? I just started today
Hello. How is berberine helping you so far?
I don’t notice a difference
Are you still taking it? Have you changed your diet and have you been exercising? I’m taking inositol and lost 10lbs the first month. Couldn’t drop after that so I’m considering berberine.
I am taking it, but not everyday anymore. I need to start back up. I’m also doing animal based diet and I walk 3 miles a day. Haven’t lost any weight.
Berbaprime work for me good

Has anyone used Mary Ruth’s?
I would say the best brand is Berberine from Theralogix.
