I took Berbine for a while.
I’m not overweight and i’m in really good shape (12.9% body fat at 209 pounds at 60YO), working out 7 days a week.
I primarily took it because i wanted to cut down on my sugar intake- i eat a ton of sweets. I found it did little for me. Started taking/eating raw honey every day to see if that will work.
In short, NO!
I am type 2 diabetic and tried berberine. No impact.
Went on Ozempic. Lost 40 lbs and it better regulated my fasting bloos glucose reading allowing my to lower my insulin to less than half.
PLEASE don’t buy the berberine hype.
My wife dropped her total cholesterol by 40 points in 90 days. I dropped my LDL by 15 in the same timespan with no diet modification.
I heard berberine is close to metformin
With Berberine? Or working out?

12.9% is underweight and unhealthy. At 209 lb. you would have to be well over 7 foot tall to be at 12.9%.
LOL- not even close. 7ft tall/209lbs is an issue. I go about 6-2.
When i trained for the Olympics i was 5.6% at 190lbs. Under 5% is considered risky for some people.
I’m much rather be 12.9% than 21.9%
Just berberine. We have always been fairly active.
I remember in the 90s, during a football game they were talking about how Jerry Rice had lowered his body fat percentage. I can’t remember the exact number, but it was lower than 5%. They showed him eating a hot dog at half time. and he said he realized that body fat percentage was too low.
Under 5% could be a problem, as i mentioned.
When i was 5.6% almost 40 years ago they started checking me often to make sure i didn’t go much lower. I used it a good excuse to drink beer!!
I’m sure it works for some people- just not me.
I never took the kung flu vax rather a host of vitamins (D, C, zinc, niacin, Quercetin) for prevention. I never got the kung flu yet vaxxed people around me have gotten it multiple times.
Point being- its not one size fits all despite what a clown like Fauci pushes. People have to find out what works for them.
As a rookie in 1985 he came to the 49ers at a muscular 208 pounds, but now he weighs 196. He is so lean that you wonder if he's sick. He likes to mess with his body fat, wants it to know that he is its master. For Rice, fat is a cornerback in man coverage with no safety in sight, a minor and ultimately irrelevant nuisance. Eschewing dietary fat, he got down to 189 a year or so ago, but the weight loss was too much. His starved body was literally eating up his muscles. His trainer ordered him to start eating things like ice cream. ''Under four percent body fat and I don't feel good,'' Rice says. ''I'm a health-food fanatic, but getting that low hurt my performance. I'm at 4.8 percent now, and I feel good.''
I did meet Rice once, but long before this article came out.
The doctor says what the men pulling the strings say to say. I WOULDN’T TAKE ANY SUPPLEMENTS...roflmao..... I don’t believe that one bit. I bet that he doesn’t give vitamins to pregnant women, or C in cold seasons either.
‘’I’m a health-food fanatic,
Definitely not me.......
Folic acid to pregnant women?
Completely agree. No potential remedy is ever fool proof.
How did you wife drop hers?
Just by introducing Berberine. You need to read up on it. It also can have a positive effect on regulating blood sugar. We found out about it from Robert Malone’s newsletter.
