NOW Supplements, Berberine Glucose Support, With MCT Oil, 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.

This is the first supplement out of 100's that I have tried that had an instant effect on my blood sugar. I have even tried other Berberine, some much more expensive, to no avail. This Berberine by Now instantly brought my numbers down. I have been wearing a CGM and could see the results immediately. It's a large pill, but it's coated and easy to swallow. No odor, no taste. I haven't experienced any side effects that others have mentioned. I have taken it with food, without food, after a meal, in the middle of a meal, no issues. It just works. I am amazed. I look forward to seeing what my A1C does after continuous use. I'm determined to not become a diabetic, and I'm fighting insulin resistance. It's so amazing to take a supplement and be able to see immediate, measurable results after spending so much on other supplements that did nothing. Being able to see it work on the CGM is all I need to ensure that I remember to take it. I even have packed it in my lunchbox so it's available to me at work. I will update after I get labs again.

I switched to NOW Foods Supplements Berberine Glucose Support after previously using KIND patches, and the difference has been pretty noticeable for me. With the patches, I didn’t feel much change in my day-to-day cravings, and it was easy to forget I was even using them. Since switching to the berberine capsules, I’ve found my appetite feels much more stable throughout the day, and those random snack cravings—especially in the afternoon and late evening—are way more under control than they were before. What I like most is that it feels more consistent and “active” compared to the patch method I tried. It fits easily into my routine, and I don’t have to think about it once I’ve taken it. For me personally, it’s been a much more effective option for glucose and craving support than the patches ever were. Overall, I’m sticking with this one—it just works better for what I was trying to achieve.

Definitely lowers your A1c with some side effects as mentioned however I found if you take it in the middle of your meal it eliminates the nausea. I have noticed occasional headaches but I’m not certain they are directly related to taking this supplement. It’s well worth the money and my A1c went from 6.1 to 5.8 taking (not as consistently as I should) 2 times a day. I also did not change my diet aside from limiting sweets but I still eat them so it really works! 100% satisfied!

This worked instantly and amazingly for appetite and craving control, but unfortunately I had to stop taking it due to severe headaches, irritability and depression. I tried taking it at different times of day to alleviate these symptoms as I thought they might be due to low blood sugar but they were too severe to continue.

This does seem to help even out carb/sugar spikes which is better on your small intestine and reduces the inflammatory response of eating carbs/sugar (meaning I’m less likely to fall asleep after eating). The most difficult thing about these is remembering to take the capsule 20 minutes before I eat. I also take a digestive enzymes capsule with this.

Amazing Quality I’m very impressed with NOW Foods Berberine Glucose Support! The combination of 400 mg of berberine HCl and 700 mg of MCT oil makes this a convenient and well-designed formula. I appreciate NOW Foods’ reputation for quality, transparency, and testing. I’ve been looking for a high-quality berberine supplement to support healthy glucose metabolism, and this product definitely stands out. The softgels are easy to take, and having the MCT oil included is a great added feature. Excellent product, trusted brand, and a great formula! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely one I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality berberine supplement.

I took berberine, working my way up to 1200 each day, spread over two meals. (I don't eat breakfast.) I had no gastrointestinal issues or common side effects, and I assume it worked for my cholesterol, etc., though I did not have it tested in the time I was taking it. So I believe it to be safe and likely helpful for many people, and that's why I give it three stars. But... I have been on an oral birth control pill for years for several reasons, and with no break (placebo week), also for several reasons. Occasionally I have light spotting for a day or two. I had read, when researching berberine, that it was theorized that it could interfere with oral birth control because of the mechanism of how they are both processed by the body. (Therefore, it should not affect the shot, the patch, IUDs, or other non oral options.) But no one has done a study on it, so I decided to risk it. Five days after I began taking berberine I had my first real period since I last took a break from birth control. It came so soon after I started taking the berberine, I figured maybe it's just a fluke, and I'd keep going and see if it happened again, while using other measures as needed. Sure enough, time comes, and it happens again. Regular cycle. Regular period. Still taking oral bc with no break. This SHOULD NOT be happening! So it *has* to be the berberine. It's the only thing I changed. So, all that to say: women, beware. Just like St. John's Wort can interfere, so can berberine. I think it's time someone does a study to prove it so it's not just my anecdote, but if you're on oral birth control and you don't want to be a mom, either find a different supplement or use another form of prevention!
