What one capsule a day does

Steadier blood sugar and healthier cholesterol, in one capsule a day.

Berberine is the bright yellow compound in barberry root. Today it's backed by human clinical research on blood sugar, cholesterol and metabolism.

How berberine works

Steadier sugar. Healthier cholesterol.

  2. 2
    Switches on AMPKYour cells' metabolic master switch
  3. 3
    Glucose into cellsFor steadier blood sugar and energy

Healthier cholesterol, from the liver out

In a three-month study of 32 adults with high cholesterol, berberine lowered total cholesterol by 29%, LDL by 25% and triglycerides by 35%. It raises the liver receptors that clear LDL from the blood.

Steadier blood sugar

Berberine helps your cells take up glucose and respond better to insulin, so blood sugar stays in a healthy range and your energy doesn't dip mid-afternoon.

Placebo-controlled trial, 2013 · 3 months

Healthy weight and metabolism

Switching on AMPK supports healthy fat metabolism, and some people who take it daily notice fewer cravings. Not a weight-loss pill, but a real help alongside good food and exercise.

Clinical study, 2012 · 3 months

One capsule, three months

No handfuls of pills. One 500mg capsule a day, and every bottle of 90 lasts a full three months.

Why this berberine

The bright yellow root, in its most researched form.

Berberine is the bright yellow compound in the roots and bark of barberry (Berberis) and goldenseal. Ours puts the numbers on the bottle: the researched form, a stated concentration and a full 500mg capsule.

  1. 01

    Berberine HCl

    Berberine hydrochloride, the form used in most clinical research.

  2. 02

    Concentrated 20:1

    Every capsule's extract is equal to 10,000mg of berberine HCl powder.

  3. 03

    500mg in one capsule a day

    90 capsules, three months per bottle. The only other ingredients are rice flour and a cellulose capsule.

What to expect

Your first 90 days on berberine.

Berberine builds with steady daily use. Here's how the first three months usually go at one capsule a day.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Build the routine

    One capsule before breakfast, tied to something you already do every day.

  2. Weeks 3–4

    Fewer cravings

    Some people notice fewer cravings and snack raids between meals.

  3. Weeks 5–8

    Steadier afternoons

    A couple of months in, afternoons start to feel steadier.

  4. Month 3+

    Your new baseline

    Three months is how long the key studies ran. A good time to check in with your GP and restock.

Clinical research

Backed by human clinical studies.

Berberine has been tested in human clinical trials on blood sugar, cholesterol and weight. Here is the clearest result, then three more.

Placebo-controlled trial · 2013 · 3 months

After three months of berberine, insulin sensitivity rose by almost 50%

Adults with metabolic syndrome took 500mg of berberine HCl three times a day, alongside a placebo group. Their triglycerides also fell from 2.4 to 1.4 mmol/L, and systolic blood pressure from 123 to 115 mmHg.

How to take it

One capsule a day. That's it.

  1. Take 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare professional. That's the full 500mg serve.
  2. Make it part of your morning. Before breakfast works well. Tie it to something you already do, so you never miss a day.
  3. Stay consistent. Results build with daily use. At 1 capsule a day, one bottle lasts 90 days, the same three months the key studies ran.
How to take it

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does berberine support blood sugar?

Berberine activates AMPK, your body's metabolic master switch. That helps your cells take up glucose and respond better to insulin, which supports healthy blood glucose levels already in the normal range.

How soon will I notice a difference?

Some customers notice fewer cravings in the first few weeks, and describe steadier afternoons a couple of months in. The clinical studies measured results at three months, which is how long one bottle lasts at 1 capsule a day.

Can berberine help with weight management?

Berberine supports metabolic function and can help with weight management by improving insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. It isn't a weight-loss pill, but it's a helpful tool alongside a healthy diet and exercise.

What is berberine HCl?

Berberine is a yellow plant compound found in barberry (Berberis) and goldenseal. Berberine hydrochloride (HCl) is its salt form, the one used in most clinical research. Each capsule holds 500mg from a 20:1 concentrate, equal to 10,000mg of berberine HCl powder.

How do I take it, and how long does a bottle last?

Take one capsule a day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare professional. At 1 capsule a day, a bottle lasts 90 days. Two bottles last six months, three last nine and five last fifteen. Take more than one a day and it runs out sooner.

Can I take it with my medication?

Talk to your doctor first if you take any prescription medicine, especially diabetes medication. Berberine can add to the effect of blood-sugar-lowering medicines and can change how some other medicines are processed.

Who shouldn't take it?

Berberine is for adults only. Don't use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
