Berberine Supplement 500mg, High Purity 97% HCl, 60 Capsules (Third Party Tested, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan Safe) AMPK Activator - Berberine HCL for Cardiovascular Health by Double Wood

I ordered this to clear out my clogged intestines and had really bad constipation. I noticed a difference right away! There are so many benefits that I did not expect as well! First, my skin started clearing up from mild breakouts around my hairline. Second, I started having bowel movements once a day and that relieved that feeling of clogged up pressure within my abdomen! Third, I started eating less food because I felt better. Lastly, I take it right after dinner and noticed I fell asleep faster and there was less restlessness. Over all, I am very pleased with the results of this supplement and will continue taking it daily with my dinner. I feel so much better now that I have daily bowel movements and no longer take any toxic or unnatural laxatives because I am off that train and it is all thanks to this supplement! I may experiment with increasing the dosage down the road!

I like it. I used to buy a different brand but decided to try this one out. Quality seems every bit as good.

Moved to this supplement from other supplier, blood sugar under control as before.

I was looking for a quality Berberine supplement when I came across this brand as highly recommended. So far it’s working great. I haven’t has as much of an appetite between meals and my quality of sleep is good overall. I’m in perimenopause so my supplement supply is fairly robust and this bright yellow pill is doing what it’s supposed to. I also appreciate that it’s a once a day dose too, so only one pill needed. Personally I didn’t find it difficult to swallow at all. Only 4 stars because the coating has a sour and unusual taste, unlike my other pill capsules.

Highly effective for gut health, digestion and less bloating. I've noticed less inflammation in my joints/muscles and better energy throughout the day. Start off by taking 500mg, then increase it to 2-3 500mg doses per day.

I’ve only been using it for two days so if I build up a tolerance to this stuff too quickly this review may be updated in the future, but so far I’m very happy with it. I took my first capsule in the morning on an empty stomach and it took about an hour and a half to two hours to hit, but when it did the effects were very noticeable. First of all, my appetite was reduced to like 20% of what it normally is and I spent most of my day at work wanting almost no food. After about five hours I finally started to get a little hungry so I ordered one of my favorite things (bacon cheeseburger patty melt on sourdough with extra crispy hash browns! Yummy!), something I could normally inhale in ten minutes without exercising ALL my willpower, and I found that after eating less than a quarter of it I felt full and satisfied, like I’d just gone on a binge! Pleased, I snuck a few more tiny bites of my hash browns, like really tiny bites, and easily put away the rest in the fridge. I didn’t really get hungry again until about 8pm so I took a second pill and made myself a medium sized bowl of Korean style chicken and rice, ate less than a third of what I normally would, and again, that full satisfied feeling after such small amount of food soon followed. I’m really happy with the results and I hope it keeps working. Some cons, it gives me a little bit of a headache and a stomach ache, but those side effects are supposed to go away after you get more used to it so I’m staying hopeful. Usually I have fairly good discipline and self control with my eating so I hope this is my ticket to help making it an almost effortless endeavor. Update: Had to lower it to 4 stars from my 5 because the resulting headaches have gotten worse and today it made me very drowsy. I also bought some Berberine gummies that are supposed to have 100 mgs more per serving than these capsules but the effects are way milder! So I can only assume that either there is way more than just 500 mgs in these pills or the way it’s formulated is just too intense. These pills definitely work! Maybe too well. Second update: Rescinding my four stars and giving back it's original five! Now that I'm more used to berberine the side effects like headaches and drowsiness are a lot better and sometimes barely noticeable. Where was this stuff hiding during my competitive modeling days?? Berberine is powerful and takes some getting used to. It helps to start small and slowly add more as you build up your tolerance. I suggest starting with some gummies of comparable strength to these pills and cutting them in half, or even fourths if you're super sensitive. As you get more used to this herb you can start gradually adding more mgs to your daily routine. I can handle a full 500 mg cap at once now. I don't question the efficacy of berberine at all. If you're like me it may work a little too well for you.

This was my 4th time ordering this brand. First 3 times, I received a good product ordering the single bottles each time. My glucose levels were good with low readings. I ordered the single bottles for those times and for this 4th time I ordered the 2 bottles package, and believe I was sent a placebo because they did not work. I check my glucose 3x a day and my glucose had shot up by 20+ points each time. I stayed the course with the last package for a week and even tried the 2nd bottle in the package. You can always tell if any Berberine is in your system if it shows up in your urine. It was no longer showing in my urine. So I ordered another reputable brand and almost instantly my glucose numbers went down and it was now showing in my urine. The single bottles of this brand did work; but the package of 2 had no Berberine.

Actually has helped a lot with my appetite and lost a few pounds.
