Metformin is only available on a prescription in the EU, so i didn’t get to test it. But I’ve been taking Berberine for a few months, without any negative effects. Difficult to talk about the positive ones, as i also take NMN and a few other supplements, but i think, together with apple cider vinegar, Berberine helps keep blood sugar low, and my insulin is about the lowest limit, according to my last couple of blood tests, so that’s a very good marker. Safe and cheap, i do take some liver protecting pills such as milk thistle.

I take both Berberine and Metaformin (morning vs evening) for close to two years now. As far as diarrhea goes, to me that only happens if I take Metaformin 30min + BEFORE food (on an empty stomach), if I take it with food and straight after food, it does not cause any stomach upset, however i also see slightly higher sugar level if take metaformin after food, so there is a trade off of it's suger control effective it seems. Berbeine HCL also causes stomach upset to me when you take it on an empty stomach before food, but at a far less frequency, and only when you first start taking it, however 1000mg of Berbering HCL does not seem to lower/control the blood sugar level as effective as 1000mg of Metaformin. Given berberine's possible effect on liver over a longer team, it's probably safer to combine berberine with intermittent fasting, just so you can stop taking berberine when you're fasting so that the liver can recover a bit. PS: Berberine is processed Huanglian, a chinese medicinal herb used for centuries, if you have low blood pressure you may wanna monitor that when taking berberine/Huanglian, since its used as a high blood pressure treatment chinese medicine.

I’ve looked into Berberine but the problem with it is that it has strong anti-microbial properties which can negatively impact your gut microbiome. I’ve been working with a microbiome specialist for more than a year and she said if I took it, it would eradicate all the progress I’ve made in rehabilitating my microbiome. Given the importance of your gut flora on all aspects of physical and mental health, there should be some consideration to the effects of taking Berberine - especially for long periods of time. There have been studies on Berberine as an anti-microbial but it seems everyone in the longevity community ignores this aspect of the compound and it’s potential effects on long term health. I would like to see more studies done to address this concern and more discussion about it in the longevity community.

I have a friend who's also been doing work on her microbiome and given that amount of progress she's made and the amount of effort she's put in, I believe that she, like you, should probably not take berberine. Everyone's different and should figure out what works for them.

@@LanceHitchings Thanks for responding - my point is it’s probably not very healthy for anyone to take long term - it would be like taking an antibiotic long term. It will have negative effects on your gut.

Hey there I had the exact same concerns as you (anti biotic like function and switched to metformin) however! It appears it only exerts that antibiotic effect in the gut for bad bacteria and leaves the good stuff. Take a look here on KZitem there are some good more detailed videos on this alone

Hello, thanks for the informative video. I am 34 and my fasting blood sugar level is 102 (a little higher than normal). It seems that I might be a little insulin resistant. Is that okay if I take Berberine for 3 months to deal with insulin resistance?

have them check your A1c to determine insulin resistance. a fasting blood glucose is only 1 piece of the puzzle. people who are fit can have high fasted blood sugars d/t elevated cortisol. and bc yours is borderline, it is really not a reliable determinant of insulin resistance. - btw I am a nurse
