Lost 30 pounds using Berberine supplement in a month.

Not true

[@estherkasozi4202]

No you didn't you probably just started a weightloss programme and you were maybe quite overweight or you drastically reduced your calorie intake and ramped up your exercise routine don't forget the water weight loss too which in the 1st 30 pounds can be up to half

@quebecpower978 not always that simple. Age, hormones, gender also play a big role. When I was young getting in shape was easy. Currently at 50 yrs old & menopausal doing 20k steps a day, 1000 calories a day of healthy food and I haven't lost a single pound.

Im 35 y/o and 6,2' starting at 243lbs and with regular dieting and moderate exercise I was able to get down to 220lbs but could not get below no matter how hard I tried. So I took Berberine 3x a day 500mg pill before every meal. I am now at 204lbs it took about a month and a half. I was watching my food intake and keeping track of my calories so that had remained a constant. Without a doubt I was now feeling more energized after eating and was way less hangry. I also didn't need afternoon naps anymore. Over all I feel much better and it feels like my metabolism has increased with using berberine. This doctor is just doing his job, unless there is concrete clinical evidence with trial groups, then they can't risk loosing the trust of their patients by recommending a research type supplement that might not work. I can vouch though that this supplement works and I have lost weight. the only side affects is slight stomach pain and some diarrhea that cleared up over the course of a couple days initially starting it. Over all I hope this helps someone on the fence.

[@kimieann1975]

Unfortunately, if it did undergo large studies with all the accolades it would cost the same as ozembic. Poor folks are ALWAYS going to try cheaper supplements. They can't afford doctors visits & rx

I have trouble taking advise regarding a natural substance from a doctor who is owned by the pharmaceutical industry.

[@DrMcGowanMD]

Thanks for the comment! I’d like to clarify that I have ZERO financial ties to any pharmaceutical company. The good news is that all pharmaceutical payments to physicians are publicly reported, by law. You can look up any physician here: openpaymentsdata.cms.gov

[@i_marap8197]

Not only that. It’s the way drs are taught in med school. Most come out programmed to dismiss anything natural.

[@Sammyklynn1234]

I really think peoples bodies are different. The man has a point and we need to be cautious of supplements but we also need to be cautious of main stream medications. Berberine anecdotally works for SOME. Keto works for SOME. WFPB works for SOME. There’s risk involved with everything.

[@nivikoseven]

Umm sure there's no studies, but it helped me. Not here to convince anyone! I just do my thing.

People taking ozempic for weight loss might be in for a nasty surprise down the road. I remember the phen fen disaster in the 90s. But everyone wants a magic pill/supplement instead of giving up beloved junk foods.

[@marlenegold280]

Lots of side effects, not reversible side effects.

[@edithwalker76]

​@@marlenegold280what kind of side effects?

[@Arginne]

You really think people who lose weight on ozempic are still eating a bunch of junk food lol. Also you know people have conditions that make it hard to lose weight. Cool your judgement honey

[@edmax63]

And would you know that Phentermine is still prescribed for weight loss. Phen-Fen caused Pulmonary Hypertension which was not reversible. The use of berberine or Ozempic/Monjaro/Any others should only be 6 months. Just remember EVERYTHING we take in is poison. Monitor yourself. If you start to feel “off” stop taking the poison. These drugs are taken from “nature” but poison ivy is from nature too. Just be careful. If you can control/lose weight the old fashioned way would be better.

@@ArginnePipe down on the excuses pumpkin. They are over eating. It’s just that simple. If you put them on a 900 calorie or below diet they most certainly will lose the weight.

[@mastax1234]

I'll throw in my two cents since I've taken this stuff for over a month. Berberine made me lose an extra 2 lb a week when changing absolutely nothing to my diet or my activity. It's worth noting I was doing intermittent fasting for 3 months and for some reason adding berberine accelerated my weight loss like crazy. I went in every 2 weeks for regular blood work and my doctor said everything was great. Each time I did blood work my LDL and triglycerides were lower and lower and finally got into a normal healthy range. Doctor looked at me and said keep doing whatever your doing.

I also want to add something else, be sure to check your hydration levels when you take berberine because it made me to get dehydrated really easily. Pay attention to the collar of your pee and see if it's really dark yellow then that means you need to drink more water.
