I've been prediabetic for a long long time. What does this mean? Well for me bad eating habits, being hungry an hour after I eat, inability to lose weight, etc. Since I am not yet diabetic they won't put me on Metformin so I went looking for an herbal alternative and found this. Take a pill 3 times a day and after a week I started feeling better. Lost energy returned and I found I was able to be much more active, the swelling in my joints went away and although I don't know what my blood sugar is currently, I can tell it's not bouncing around like it was. My weight would swing 10 lbs up or down depending on water weight gain and constipation, now my weight became constant and I'm not thirsty all the time. My eating habits have changed as well, now I get fuller faster and stay full for hours. My weight is slowly coming down, I've lost 6lbs since I started taking this. If you're insulin resistant, pre diabetic, etc you really need to give this stuff a try. Read more

I've been taking this for a little over a month. I have diabetes and was unable to take metformin because it made me so sick so I started looking for natural alternatives. For almost two months I have been eating low carb high fat, taking this berberine 2 x daily along with milk thistle, and incorporated walking daily into my routine. With doing all three my blood glucose average has dropped from 250 to 130. I still have some work and time I need to invest to get it in the "normal" range but I feel amazing and have noticed all the inflammation slowly leaving my body. If you try this don't be disappointed if you don't see immediate results. As with all things it takes time for damage to occur and it takes time to recover from said damage as well. I hope you find what works for you. As for me I'm a Divine Bounty Berberine customer for life. Love, love this product! Read more

This product is changing my life for the better. I have been struggling with post-hysterectomy weight loss for over a year now. One day I came across an online video that explained how our metabolisms can change dramatically as we age. The video suggested supplementing with Berberine to help with this. I chose Divine Bounty because of the excellent reviews I read, and the price seemed reasonable. I had no idea the difference I would start seeing so soon! I have been taking it a little less than two weeks now. I no longer have the insatiable urge to eat everything in my house. I no longer sit in bed for 10 minutes looking like a zombie after I wake up. I've already lost 4 pounds and I will be starting a regular exercise routine soon. I do not take two capsules daily, I only take one in the morning. I have not had any side-effects. I do not know the science behind this product, but I do know that it is helping me beyond anything I ever expected. Thank you to Divine Bounty for producing a high-quality product. Thank you to Amazon for carrying this high-quality product at an affordable price. Read more

I tried to open it and i put a quarter if one caspsule in my shake that i split with my husband.. knowing it was bitter i even added a tblsp of sugar.. DEAR GOD IT WAS AWFUL!!!.. i mean undrinkable.. i can tolerate a lot but i couldnt even do it.. had to throw it out YOWZA! I havnt taken long and i know you have to cycle it because it can be hard on your liver.. Ive taken one a day after my carbiest meal.. i havnt noticed it making my sugar too low so i do believe its glyco normalizing vs lowering when unnecessary. . Im very sensitive and my sugar drops easily so im pleased with that.. Im using it also as an immunity booster to get rid of a stupid viral remnant and it feels like its helping. Been two weeks .. so far so good. Read more

"I've recently tried Divine Bounty berberine, but unfortunately, it hasn't performed as well as other brands I've used. While I'm currently using a brand with a proven 90+% purity rating, I've found that I need to take two Divine Bounty pills to achieve the same results. Additionally, many studies suggest taking 500mg of berberine 30 minutes before meals for optimal effectiveness. Divine Bounty only provides a stated 400mg, which is already a lower dose. Combined with its lower purity, I believe it's significantly less potent than the brand I'm currently using. For the best value, I recommend investing in brands with validated purity ratings.

Great! I use this stuff instead of Metformin. Thanks. Read more

I use this "Pure Berberine Complex - 600mg Per Capsule Berberine HCl Supplement - 60 Vegetarian Capsules" By Divine Bounty to replace Metformin in treating Diabetes Type 2. It works for me but this is no guarantee that it will work for you. However, in addition to a low-carbohydrate diet and lots of exercises. Seems to be helping me (personal opinion) with the sugar cravings in that I don't seem to have them so much so this is a win-win for me. I have managed to get off both Metformin and Insulin and replace them with Berberine. Very impressed with this health product.It is certainly helping to sort out my health issues which are quite complicated, and I am very pleased with the progress that I have made in the last month and still improving.one of my specialist's called it dramatic!

I don't know exactly what Berberine is supposed to do; a friend remarked how great she felt so I thought I'd try it. I can't believe I feel so good taking it -- and I miss it when I don't take it. I can't really describe it, but I'll do my best. When I take Divine Bounty Berberine, I have more energy without being manic; I feel happier without being inauthentic; and I feel healthier. After several health problems in recent years, I had found myself leaning towards an extremely sedentary life. With this supplement, I feel like getting up, like doing what I can, and if I have a setback, it seems I can rebound easier. I don't actually notice a huge difference until I've taken it for 2-3 days, and, because I'm not the greatest about taking regular medications, I don't notice a downward difference until I've stopped taking it for 2-3 days. Whatever it is and whatever it is supposed to do, please keep Berberine doing it. Thanks. Read more
