THORNE Berberine - Dual Action Formula with Phytosome Plus Botanical Extract - Support Heart Health, Immune System, Healthy GI, Cholesterol* - Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free - 60 Capsules - 30 Servings

I've been taking berberine for over a year. I started with a different brand and since then have changed several times. The last one made me sleepy sometimes after i took it. I also noticed it had rice as one of the "other ingredients"; that one did nothing for me. So looked for one that didn't have rice and found this brand. I originally bought the more expensive dual action formula. I then found the one with only berberine so i ordered that one too.Not returning either one, i take one of each, in the mornings WITHOUT a meal, and with lots of water. I have NOT gotten any adverse reactions.I understand some people have allergic reactions or have a problem with the supplements, which can happen.* I am not a doctor and this info is only my experience.I take probiotics every day in either supplements (after a meal), yogurt, or kefir. I believe with all the foods (and chemicals they may have), sugary snacks, and medications, our gut flora goes out of whack. I try to eat healthy with no pork or beef. However, ever since i have taken probiotics, i feel that vitamins and supplements, work better.I also cycle vitamins/supplements and give my body a break once a week or month. Remember that these supplements are not FDA regulated. Check livertox website to get info on them. IOW, do your homework. When you search on internet, add "before 2022" at the end of the search, or "-ai" (minus a i) at he end of the search to get better results.So is this beberine woking for me? Although I have taken them for only a week, I do feel I have more energy. Time will tell and will update if needed.

Best berberine supplement, hands down. I’ve been using as suggested one capsule 2x/day with meals for a near month now. I already have felt some of the physical effects - using for about a month and sugar “cravings” I hadn’t realized I had been experiencing just disappeared. No immediate effects on weight loss or anything like that, but the change in my appetite for sweets/processed sugars was quick and noticeable enough to assure me they are working.Some supplements do have a strange taste or smell that causes issue for some people to swallow the pill, but that is not the case here with these herbal extract supplements vs something like the trace minerals which can be difficult to swallow, these are quite easy to ingest. Compare your purchased item with images of the original Thorne packaging to ensure they’re not fakes… higher price supplements attract counterfeiters, and at $40 for a bottle of 60 capsules it’s certainly lucrative for the criminal minded, but personally my experience with ordering this supplement from Amazon in this case was issue-free and I’m comfortably certain the item I received is genuine Thorne. Capsules are large but not HUGE, and have a distinctive yellow mustard ish hue. Mine came with 2 anti-moisture silicone packets inside the original manufacturer bottle. Hope this helps anyone unsure of the product’s origins. I definitely endorse this Thorne product.

I took Thorne Berberine expecting, you know… some gut support, maybe lower cholesterol, regular human stuff.What I got?Superpowers.By Day 3, I was walking past the fridge and felt it get intimidated.By Day 5, I sneezed and my neighbor’s WiFi reset.And by Day 7?I walked directly through a wall.Not metaphorically.Literally.Drywall, paint, some poorly placed family photos — I emerged unscathed and slightly confused in the garage.My LDL is down.My GI tract is operating like a NASA launch schedule.And I’m fairly certain I can now hear bacteria having conversations.Side effects include:• Unshakable confidence• Sudden mastery of spreadsheets• Having to explain to your HOA why you phase-shifted through the mailbox againAnyway, five stars.Just be careful — this stuff doesn’t fix you… it upgrades you.

I lost about 10-12lb in a month and my goal was not to lose weight. I bought this to lower my A1c which is did. In that same time frame my A1c went from 6.3 to 5.8. I did lose some muscle/strength in that time but this does what is says it does at very high level.

I can’t honestly say that I’ ve noticed a difference in my blood sugar or energy level after 30 days of 1 capsule twice a day so I started a second bottle 3 days ago. It may be helpful with reducing my caloric intake.
