– Pure Vitality Berberine HCL 500mg, 98% Purity x90 Vegan Capsules

I have been taking this Berberine for 2 months. I am amazed at the great reduction in my sugar levels. It has also reduced my appetite. I am taking 1 tablet 3 times a day, 20 minutes before meals. Personally, I have no side effects. I am satisfied, I will continue to take it.

Good

This definitely reduces my hunger cravings - I noticed I didn’t need large portions and snacking has been reduced. I would order these again. I have also suggested this brand to friends and family :) I think you just have to try it to see if it works for your body.

I've had no reactions or issues taking these. It's still early but I think they are making a difference

I have heard really good reports about Berberine, but unfortunately it didn’t seem to work for me, so my doc insisted I take Metformin something I always said I wouldn’t take.

I've been taking four of these per day for about a year or so. This is berberine hydrochloride extract; plants containing berberine (as opposed to the pure extract) have been in use in many cultures for thousands of years, known to be antibacterial and to help with blood glucose control. As a note of caution, I did recently hear Dr. Jason Hawrelak (a very smart gut specialist) say that he didn't recommend berberine for long-term use, iirc because it could ultimately upset gut flora balance. With that said, I'm not ready to stop taking it at this point. I take it to support my gut, which has all sorts of issues. I should note, though, that I have poor blood glucose control, and for me, berberine seems to do nothing for this. (Berberine is sometimes called "nature's Metformin," though, and I don't seem to respond to Metformin either, so your mileage may well vary; I think Dr. Andrew Huberman mentioned that berberine dropped his blood glucose too significantly...) For me, it seems to help with gut motility and pain management; I took a few days off recently and everything went haywire. I've tried a few cheaper berberines from here that did nothing at all. This one probably isn't as good as the much more expensive Thorne brand, but seems good enough to do the job, and is very good value for money. I'm not bothered by any sort of aftertaste from it, whether or not I take it with food (I used to always take with food but am now experimenting with it between meals), like I have been by some other brands.

I am happy with this product. I haven’t been hungry and am losing weight. I am hoping my cholesterol is down and am waiting for the blood results. It’s affordable and easy to take, with no side effects. I will be ordering again!

These tablets have done nothing but worsen my diabetic readings. I’ve been taking 2 tablets twice a day. After a month I noticed I was urinating more the normal and feeling thirsty more. Checked my blood sugar this morning before eating anything and was 14.4mmols. Dipped my urine this morning and strip showed glucose in my urine ++++. Did not control any sugar cravings and did not keep me satisfied any more than normal. Only positive thing I can say about these was they didn’t give me the bloated feeling like Metformin but then they do little else for me. Such a shame as I was looking for a good natural alternative.
