Berberine Plus Capsules

It really does stop your cravings.

This was an unexpected brand to find for review. I've been taking various complicated Berberine supplements over the last year or two, and this one brings it down to four ingredients, a gram of Berberine, 200 micrograms of Chromium Picolinate, 50mg of Alphia Lipoic Acid, and 50mg of cinnamon. They're normal-size capsules; the photo shows a US nickel for scale, as I didn't have my usual quarter handy. There's a mild scent in the bottle, but no noticeable taste or smell at the two capsule dose. THe bottle includes 30 daily doses of two capsules each, for a bit under a dollar a day at the current $25 price. As with all supplements I've reviewed, I can't speak to the long-term efficacy of this supplement, or whether it's right for you. Supplements may not work for everyone, and they can take weeks to months (or more) to have any noticeable effect. But from the mechanics of the capsules to the price per daily dose, they're pretty good.

So far,so good, working the overnight shift, I need all the energy I can get without resorting to sugar or caffeine. I haven't experienced any side effects. I take one capsule before heading out to work.

I wanted to like this supplement because I love Slim Fast original shake mix. After taking it my blood sugar dropped and I felt very lazy and tired. Ask your doctor before taking this it is potentially dangerous

After finishing the entire bottle, I can't say there was any noticeable change in my overall health. I am already pretty regular so there was no change there. It didn't change my appetite in any way. This product just didn't do anything for more. But, every body is different and they may react differently to Berberine, just wasn't doing anything for me in particular.

I must confess; I found it curious to see a company offer a product that doesn't exactly state its purpose. What is it for, one might wonder? Well, I removed the guesswork by doing my own research about the possible virtues of this supplement...so that you don't have to. (Read on...) Based upon the "Slim Fast" brand name, this is a product that is assumed to offer weight-loss benefits. I had done a bit of research in order to substantiate my hunch and learn about some studies in which people who had taken Berberine and had lost weight, belly fat and lowered their body mass index. (It has also been suggested that Berberine can be helpful in lowering C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation...another side bonus!) Chromium Picolinate and Alpha Lipoic Acid are additional ingredients contained within this supplement and are rumored to support weight loss as well. The last listed ingredient, Cinnamon Bark, is utilized as a sweetener to help people cut back on their sugar intake. So, as you can assess; this product does have its share of probable weight reduction virtues; just be sure to check with your doctor regarding any possible side affects when taking alongside prescription medications.

No side effects

I was taking Berberine on its own until I came across the product. It has definitely curbed my hunger. I've only been taking for a few months, but the fact that I'm not eating as much is huge to me. I highly recommend trying this product if you are finding yourself hungry all the time.
