Today, we’re going to talk about berberine. People all over social media are calling berberine a natural Ozempic, but if you do a quick Google search, you may have doubts.
There are several claims that berberine can give you diarrhea, gas, constipation, and stomachaches, and can even be fatal in large amounts. There are also claims that berberine can’t work as a substitute for Ozempic because there isn’t enough research.
Berberine is a phytochemical found in various plants that has numerous health benefits, especially for blood sugar. It has even been compared to Metformin, a popular drug used to treat type 2 diabetes.
The potential health benefits of berberine:
• Helps with insulin resistance
• Helps lower blood sugar
• Helps to activate vitamin D
• Supports longevity
• Has antiarrhythmic properties
• Helps decrease the risk of a fatty liver
•Has neuroprotective properties
• Helps make chemotherapy/radiation more efficient
• Reduces gluconeogenesis
Many health problems are related to problems with the mitochondria. Berberine increases the number of mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis), helps clean up damaged mitochondria, and makes mitochondria more efficient.
Berberine, in small amounts, has very few, if any, side effects! Combined with keto, intermittent fasting, and exercise, you could experience significant results when taking berberine.

@BB-xx3dv ok Doc lol
@BB-xx3dvThe berberine certainly didn't hurt. Berberine alone will bring down fasting glucose levels.
I started taking it about a month now. I've been doing intermediate fasting for about 2 years now. I went to my doctor on Friday and I lost 5 more pounds. I have been listening to Dr. Berge now for about 2 years. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 18. I've lost about 70 listening to him. Plus now I have a head full of hair.
That’s great! I fell off the wagon for the last month but I climbed back on today! I lost about 30 with Dr. Berg. How did you get more hair growth?
Yes I would like to know how do you grow more hair
I would love to know about getting hair back ✨
Were you for real experiencing hair loss? And this stuff is helping?
Amazing ❤❤
Been taking an 8 hour Berberine for 2 weeks with the Panax Ginseng. I had a fasting blood sugar 14 days ago of 221. Yesterday it was 96. I have never had these results with Metformin which gave me raging Diarrhea and almost nothing with Glipizide. I hope you create this supplement together. I am on Keto. Went from 225 to 218 so losing weight as well. Awesome video!
That's awesome! Do you mind sharing which brand(s)?
I like that combination. I don't have issues with sugar but for me it sounds delicious.
I will ask you to please mention the companies name of Panex ginseng & Berberine
Please share brands. I bought panax ginseng that did nothing…Ty
@impeccableshoegame7029 NOW Panax Ginseng Extract, and Peak Performance Glucovantage Super Berberine. Dr Berg suggested the Ginseng with the Berberine for the Ozempic mimic effect in a previous video. There is 4 hour and 8 hour Berberine. I opted for 8 hours. More expensive but obviously worth it.
I had asthma for 37 years. Tried all the possible medication you can imagine, been in a hospital several times. Finally I watched a 3 min video dr berg made a few years ago, and that video put an end to my illness. God bless dr berg. This man is a diamond

My father has diabetes. He told me he used to wake up with his blood sugar of 265-300 then I told him to take berberine and now its 120-135. The days he eats healthier his blood sugar is 100-125. He was on 70mg of insulin 2times a day. Now is once a day which hopefully he will stop completely soon.
Hey Dr. Berg. thanks for all your work. got me a new aortic valve 14 months ago and constantly striving to find a diet and exercise to make sure I stay healthy and your diet advice has reduced all my potentially harmful levels of ldl's etc. feel like a million bucks too! I am sure many more feel the same way. keep up the great work. Patrick
Love Dr Bergs videos... been subscribed since the beginning, so grateful for so much fascinating and vital information
Can Dr Berg be a natural cure for everything? = YES😊
Love this comment ❤️
As is keto and ACV 😂
No Dr Berg is not the cure. He does a very good job of explaining how the body works and the new research results. We have to figure how to apply it into our personal life.
I mean, I really like his videos and content. But if I don't change my habits and figure out what applies in my life and how, it won't really work. Information is fun. But using the information brings results.

Plez let us know?
This is no joke--I started taking berberine after losing a bit of weight with intermittent fasting and getting stuck at a certain weight for months (I wondered if it was insulin resistance). After I started taking this supplement, my weight has started to drop again. I'm surprised and so happy that something had FINALLY worked, and I look forward to more results! 🎉
How much do you take?! Thank you
Thank you, Doctor. Tell us who makes gelatin?
Dr. Berg, can you recommend a brand that we can use?

I’m taking berberine for the past week, I’ve been much more energized, my moods are better, my fatigue is a little better, I’m yet to see any changes in diet, I haven’t changed anything in my diet though just added berberine.
Thank you for doing this video Dr. Berg. I saw one of those videos a few months back & it almost stopped me from taking berberine. Thankfully I decided to go ahead and try it. I have been taking it with great success. I even take it during my longer day fasts ( up to 5 days but I have alot of weight to lose). It makes fasting for me much easier. I take 500mg 3x daily. I did have a bit of loose stool first few days but frankly for me nothing new. Now I have no issues. I recommend trying it especially uf you have PCOS or are post menopausal. Just my thoughts

Assuming that Berberine is derived from Berberis (likely Berberis darwinii), permaculture gardeners are already recommending this plant is included in permaculture schemes, since the berries are edible. Looking at the tablets, I noticed they are brilliant yellow, much like the roots of Berberis darwinii, Mahonia media (which also produces edible blue berries) and nettle roots (also said to have medical properties). I know nettle roots can be made into a tea or tea blend, and I believe I have heard the same said of Berberis (at least the species I have mentioned). Luckily, I bought 30 of these plants while they were still very cheap during the pandemic. Haven't seen them around so much of late, but I will be taking care of that berry crop this year, that's a certainty.
Berberine
Yes!! I love that you’re doing this. Although it’s more like metformin without side effects! Berberine is my favorite and I take a lot daily. I like dhydro-berberine most but will use berberine when I run out of the dhydroberberine. It also helps with inflammation and pain relief. I’m never hungry on berberine. No cravings!!!
Which brand of berberine do you use. Thank you
I have been harvesting barberry branch and roots and berries in autumn for a few years, making decoctions and drinking the tea and have never felt any ill effects at all. I don't know how much berberine I get on a daily basis but have never been harmed by it. I drink it as a daily tonic; didn't know about its effects on glucose until recently but, no matter, I will continue drinking barberry tea.
Yes, it can be the healthier option! I took berberine, it doesn't cause nausea or digestive disorders like Ozempic, only that the limit dose I tested was 1.5 grams/day, descending at 0.5 mg/day. I do not know of side effects at higher doses, in terms of digestive/pancreatic tolerance or other systemic side reactions. After 2 weeks, clinically I noticed a reduction in the severity of insulin resistance, in the sense of obtaining the desired results after the hypocaloric and normal hypoglycemic diet. I know immediately when a diet starts to work for me! And most importantly, the decrease was in centimetres, not the weight on the scale, and I lost visceral fat mass! Thanks for all the excellent information on your site, Dr. Berg! 😄
coincidentally I also associated S.O.D. (SuperOxide Dismutase) & Collagen Complex for cellulite, much improved. to me it is a real scientific discovery that gives results! I admit, administered in the short term, 4-6 weeks
You clinically noticed a reduction did you?

Happy you found it useful.
Still alive! 😂 When I take it consistently my blood sugar levels go down and I am not on metformin. I don't know if it helps with blood pressure but my blood pressure has went to normal levels since taking berberine. I told my doctors that they can see me for visits but I am not taking the medicine. (Metformin or any high blood pressure medicine). They are keeping a close eye on me to make sure that I am within normal levels without taking pharmaceuticals.
Hello. Sharing the info I have on Berberine: kzhead.info/sun/qsOMpZhpiXuAanA/bejne.html
Do you take breaks with the Berberine? If so what do u do when ur breaking?
I started taking Berberine months ago when I researched the natural substitute for Ozempic and I must say it definitely works as long with a probiotic small exercise and clean eating
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg. You are such a wealth of valuable knowledge. I was getting very close to Type 2 diabetes last year. I have been taking Berberine for about 5 months. I have lost a bit of weight. I was wondering what time of day is best to take it? I have a severe sleepeating/walking disorder. I feel like my blood sugar drops at night. I usually take Berberine in the morning, wondering what you recommend? Thank you so much for these invaluable videos.
I watch all your videos and just wanted to say THANK YOU!
Glad you found them helpful! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
You're most welcome!
I have chronic migraine. Will this exasperate it? Are there side effects with any meds? What is a good dose? Thank you.
Thank you doc. Please guide me. What is the best time to take Berberine for T2D? Before or after meals or any time is fine? I couldn't find Mg Citrate powder in your supplements, so what is the closest?
This video is so educating and informative! Big Pharma hates anything that makes them lose a client/patient to natural remedies! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Good to hear about this natural remedy!
Exactly! No wonder doctors prescribe antibiotics to anything. Even if it hurts gut health
His video on Ozempic is nonsense! *Ozempic is a Miracle Life Saving Drug for people who cannot control their Diabetes.* I only pay $7.70 for it here in Australia. You exaggerate the side effects. Minor side effects only effect 5% to 10% of those using it. Thyroid Cancer? Ozempic does NOT product Thyroid Cancer in normal people, but it clearly states it should NOT be used on people with a family history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplastic Syndrome. Same for Retinopathy. It should NOT be used for people who already have Retinopathy or Macular Edema because it will make these conditions worse. Muscle loss happens when you lose weight and don't exercise, so ALL Diets lead to muscle loss! Ozempic does NOT cause Kidney Disease, that is a load of bullocks! Do you plan on taking this for the rest of your life? Well yes, just like Diabetics have to take Metformin for the rest of their lives. Herbs do not cure Diabetes. I know because I spent hundreds of dollars on them without helping me one iota!
I loved how I felt taking berberine for a couple of days, but it gave me a headache that took a couple of days to recuperate from
It's always good to start out slow
Berbecrap gave me Nausea and I threw it away. Ozempic did work however.
Thanks for the information 👍🏽
Most welcome!
Hi Doc, Could you please give me some of your expertise if what foods are good to eat after being diagnosed with IPF? Would be so gratefull.
Exactly why I love your videos, Dr. Berg!! Thank you. I saw the doctors talking about it, and they were warning of the dangers. I called them out for recommending literal poison (pharmaceuticals) while on the same video warning about berberine! One came back and responded rather nastily to me too. Not very professional IMO. Thanks again Dr. Berg. Your recent vitamin d video has changed my life!
Congratulations
Good job!

Hi, I use ozempic and after this article I want to switch to berberine, what would you recommend and the dosage. I usually order from iherb?
Dr Berg do you have a video on L Tyrosine? How long can we take it, how much is too much? If not, would you make one please? Thanks! ❤
It really does work and lowers your appetite a great deal, it just calms down the hunger pangs which is all I need.
What brand and dose u do?
My husband is a type 2 diabetic and takes it everyday. His A1C was 15.Within 3 months went to 6.2. He's been on it for 4 years now.
Do you take breaks with the Berberine? If so what do u do when ur breaking?
Yes you do. Any herb you take is not taken like you do supplements. My husband takes Berberine for 3 months straight. And then he stops taken it for 2 to 3 weeks. Herbs are used to jump start not to supplement. And then he goes back on it for 3 months.
These are amazing results! Which brand does he use? Thank you!
I love berberine but i get SEVERE constipation and it reduced my hemoglobin because it chelates iron. But i still use when eating sugar

Reading the subject line, stopped me in my tracks. I started using Berberine about a month ago and without changing anything or even thinking of losing weight, I lost 6 pounds. My clothes are now too big for me. I was wondering why I lost so much weight all of a sudden and now I know, Berberine!!

Most doctors won't advise someone to stop taking a prescribed medication and to take a supplement instead that has not been approved by the FDA or patented. The doctors likely won't advise people who are not their patients to no longer take their prescription meds because they don't know your medical history so advising you to no longer take your prescribed meds could put you at risk and be a liability. I hope this makes sense.

I’ve been on berberine for about 4 months. I haven’t noticed any weight loss, but my A1C has improved. I don’t seem to have any of the side affects. I’m happy.
There’s your problem right there…how would you know your A1C has improved? You’re still going to a conventional doctor but, not changing your lifestyle. I’d bet you’re purchasing a pill form with very harmful ingredients. C’mon now…you need to start doing some research and put in the work.
I go to a functional medicine doc, so your assumptions are wrong. I’m being treated for heavy metals and that in itself throws everything off. My blood is tested every 3 to 4 months. I exercise daily; I ride horses and walk (I average 13000 steps daily). I’m very realistic about what this can do. Lowering my A1C is good for me but I was never in the prediabetic zone. All in all, no problems for you to help me with.
@@BostonBorn. What are you taking about? You can get a home test kit to test your A1C levels so you don’t need to go to the doctors. And how would you even know if this person had changed their lifestyle or not when they never mentioned it to start with, one way or the other? Odd comments.

You mentioned its antiarrhythmic properties. So is it safe for taking with antiarrhythmic drugs? Or will it interfere with the drugs, such as amiodarone?
Maybe. I've been taking 1 x berberine 500mg capsule daily for about a month. I've noticed I feel less hungry than during my last 5 years doing keto/carnivore with intermittent fasting.
When do you take it? With a meal?
@@darkwingduck-2-1 immediately after my meal
That's a low dose, take 2
Sounds like it's just placebo.
What is a good brand
Dr .Berg what are your thoughts dihydroberberine? Is it better ?
I take berberine 2x 500 mg daily (metformin gave me extreme muscle pain after a few years ) and I use Ozempic. Only the last one made me lose some weight. Another tip is Alpha lipoic acid to help against or reverse (if its not gone too far) nerve damage. Main thing will always be cut down on carbs.
did u take any vaccines last 6 years??
Have you noticed if taking Berberine and Ozempic cause low blood sugars? Or would you say your numbers are normal?
Hoping Dr Berg sees this. In early 2018, I started the keto diet. I lost 22lbs in 4 months. Unfortunately, I stopped. Then the following year, I developed kidney stones. Any chance keto had anything to do with the stones? Maybe I didn’t drink enough water or didn’t restrict salt as much as I should’ve? A couple months ago, I started the paleo diet… or a semi-paleo diet. I’m slowly losing weight, not as fast/much as the keto diet.
Yes we take it every day, my blood sugar was 19 way to high,so I took berbrine, gymema,African wild mango,white mulberry and got my sugars down to nine ,I refused ozempic,so my doctor prescribed victoza plus I follow a keto diet and fast which also helps.
Apple Cider Vinegar works a treat, too.
To lose weight?

Noone is recommending a brand, i also ask.
I was on metformin with no issues, but wanted to try berberine. I only took 500mg once a day and blood sugar and blood pressure dropped to dangerous levels. I had to switch to inositol. So fingers crossed
Okay, i knew to berberine, be i definitely want to try it. What brand is good and do they have it in drops? I hate taking pills. I went on Amazon and too many to choice from, help me please. Recommendation needed
I’m currently on Empagliflozin but should I take berberine instead would that be better, I behave asked my doctor but they have been no help. From the UK I need help
Thank you again Dr Berg for sharing another interesting video. May God blessed you and your family!
Glad to know you found it useful!
Combined with Milk thistle! It helps with absorption and is way more effective.
Good to know!
liver function is vital so milk thistle will help in almost all combos
Sure. Stay safe and healthy.
Theres always the one person trying to make things more complicated
Source? "Trust me bro"?

You can try my Blood Sugar Support Advanced Formula. It contains Berberine. shop.drberg.com/product/blood-sugar-support
Hello Dr. Berg. I just told my aunt about this and she is wondering if she can take this and continue her weekly ozempic shot or is she suppose to stop taking the shot if she uses berberine and ginsing. - thank you
I have used it for 1 year. I started taking it to lower my sugar levels. I have lost 50 pounds. My liver enzymes are mow on normal levels. I feel great and have not noticed any secondary effects. When I started I asked my endocrinologist whether I could take it. He said it was safe. It has been used in Asia for a long time.
Excellent. Glad it helped you. Take care.
What is a safe dosage?
Brand
Which brand you use?
Which brand do you use? I need good recommendations. There's too many to choose from.
Since I started combining L-carnitine and Berberine, I've lost a lot of weight and also gained muscle (protein diet + weight lifting, no cardio at all, and I mean AT ALL) Also, somehow it's been 2 years now without stopping... and I haven't been ill once. That has never happened before in my life.
What brand do you use and where can I purchase this?
@dr berg where do you get it from
How come these people never answer?
@@kathy4015strangely I think people do it for the "likes"
@@kathy4015 my comment got moderated, i suppose it was considered an advertisement, dunno. i just get my berberine from Аmaazz0oon, if you search berberrrrine with chro000omium, you might find the one I have been buying
Dr. Do you recommend using this? I am on a low carb low sugar high protein/fat diet. It was keto but my primary doctor recommend that I stop doing full keto as my cholesterol was high, I had high bad cholesterol and low good cholesterol. Ive adjusted my diet to not have as much saturated fats and started taking 2000mg of fish oil every day. Do you think this would be a good idea for me? Ive already lost a lot of weight though keto, from Feb 20 - April 18th ive lost 40 pounds. This was a combination of KETO, OMAD, and working out. I stopped working out and am still doing OMAD mon-friday but eating 2 meals a day Saturday and Sunday. I still have some stubborn belly fat that isn't going away, do you think this will help?
how does tjhis differ from dandelion root tea? Supposedly it has the same effects.
