I gave Berberine a fair trial for my bloating and fluid retention. Some improvement in mood stabilised slightly but the weight didn't shift persisted. Not sure if I'll continue long-term.

Mixed feelings about Berberine. mood stabilised slightly was noticeable, but my mood was still up and down didn't really improve. Not a miracle but not nothing either.

Tried

Berberine

Tried berberine to help with the weight gain that came with perimenopause. The GI side effects were unpleasant at first. After 3 months my weight hadn't changed much but my blood sugar levels were better according to my GP. I'm not sure I'd continue just for weight alone but the metabolic markers were encouraging.
