  YOU WONT KNOW WHAT TO TRULY EXPECT…

  I honestly still don't know how I feel about this product. I thought coming into it i would start lose weight because that's how it's mainly marketed when you research it…but clearly my body had DIFFERENT plans for the use of Berberine.I did not know my insulin resistance was HIGH. But by week 2 I discovered what low blood sugar felt like and it KICKED MY ASS. I realized I wasn't eating enough for all these years…Probably close to eating 1000 calories/day. This literally forced me to eat my maintenance calories so I didn't feel like a zombie or dying mentally. And when I mean dying mentally, I was definitely going through DIE OFF symptoms from toxins and bacteria that were most likely lingering in my gut. My face looked horrible for 2 weeks… enough to make me buy collagen and vitamin c to bring back the life in me…I will say, because of die off symptoms my liver definitely was getting stressed a lot, I was also getting constipated frequently so I would recommend adding activated charcoal, lots of electrolytes, milk thistle, vitamin c, and magnesium citrate to the protocol. By week 3 I cut the dosage by half because it was too much for me, this Berberine is truly POTENT. When I asked Claude how is this compared to other Berberines it said it's 2000% more potent than the other brands ….so I definitely think we're in a clinical category of this supplement 😆.By week 4 I added other supplements like curcumin and sulforaphrane on the days I took off from Berberine and OMG THE AMOUNT OF FREEDOM MY MIND HAD TO THINK, MEMORIZE, PROCESS… it was like I activated an addiction to learning complex information and I absolutely think Berberine clearing out all the toxins out of my system was the key to being able to get to that next step. Although, I only experienced that for 5 days straight as my brain completely fried.Week 5 I took it a lot more easier, but started to experience brain fog a bit.Week 6 I could not handle taking Berberine for some reason , but this truly helped me get my health life together where I'm eating consistently now. Before, in week 2-3 I was fearing for my life not eating enough (fear of reaching low blood sugar ) which was a great lessen. I used to be fatigued all the time before, now I have the ability to be up all day without food tiring me… HIGHLY recommend a LOW FODMAP during this protocol.OH AND THE MOST FASCINATING PART… I have curly hair and I thought it was normal to shed a THICK handful of hairs when brushing it once a week (700-900 hair strands)…. I WAS SO WRONG. I DONT EVEN SHED MORE THAN 16 HAIRS PER WEEK. I CAN ACTUALLY COUNT THEM IF I WANTED TO. Before it looked like crazy thick chunk and I always shrugged and said " good thing I have a lot of hair" 😂. I saved myself from being bald in the long run. I saw the results of this by later in week 2.Again, I've gone through the highs and lows of this product. It was not an easy journey for me. I did this during a month where I had the least amount of work just because the die off symptoms were too much for me at times and focusing was truly hard at times, and if you had adhd and get the die off symptoms…it'll be tough…I will be doing another cycle starting in April and hopefully by then I will start experiencing weight loss as I'll be starting off in a much healthier space than I was before.I will update again after 6 weeks on Berberine again!I would advise, to do research on your own, know your own complications before starting this, if you know you have a compromised liver… may not be right for you… if your on diabetes medication, I read that this could be quite dangerous combining it with this.

  Try it yourself

  I can only share my good experience with Berberine and Chromium Picolinate, which has been great! I don't take these daily but every other day until I run out. There's no taste and they are easy to swallow. But the benefits I saw came when I had my semi-annual blood and lab results and my type 2 A1C all came down 1 point from 8.1 to 7.0! This was about a 4 month trek, but surprisingly it worked for me. Not to mention I eat salads, fruits, and nuts daily. Plus I get 7-8 glasses of water with 45 mins of walking and light dumbbell training. I've also lost 15 pounds over that 4 month span. Doesn't seem like a lot but it is for me. I feel healthier. .

  Effective, But To Be Used for Limited Time Periods

  This company makes high quality supplements, and this seemed to regulate my blood sugar pretty well, but I just read that it should not be taken for long periods of time, so I've Stopped it for a while.

  Love berberine!

  I've been back and forth with this berberine because it took me so long to seem to adjust to it, but it seems to give me great steady energy and the BEST digestion of my entire life. I mean. I wake up and effortlessly use the bathroom. I eat breakfast, bathroom. Dinner, bathroom. Not in a bad way either. In a, wow my digestion works well and I never feel bloated or backed up anymore. It took my body a bit to adjust, and I definitely had to ease onto the product and figure out how to take it to work for me and not against me. Also, usually over the winters I gain 10+ lbs. I'm not even sure why. Less moving. More calorie dense foods and food cravings I guess. But this winter I only gained 5 lbs and I really think it's because this product helped alot with curbing my appetite and made binge eating less appealing.
