In Brief Safety: Aggressively lowering blood sugar to combat insulin resistance can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if you are already taking medication like Metformin or insulin. Monitor your levels closely. Effectiveness: Research shows that high circulating insulin…
In Brief Safety: Rapidly increasing soluble fiber intake from zero to 15g can cause severe bloating and gas. Start with half a serving to allow your gut microbiome to adjust. Effectiveness: While it does not mimic the GLP-1 agonist…
In Brief Safety: Berberine inhibits CYP liver enzymes. This can potentiate (increase the strength of) medications like statins or beta-blockers. Phytosome forms are absorbed more efficiently, potentially increasing this interaction risk. Effectiveness: Clinical data indicates that Berberine Phytosome achieves…
In Brief Safety: Berberine is potent. It inhibits CYP liver enzymes, meaning it can alter the metabolism of other drugs (like statins or antibiotics). GI distress (cramping, diarrhea) affects up to 34% of users. Effectiveness: Clinical trials confirm that…
In Brief Safety: Natural GLP-1 agonists like Berberine affect blood sugar. If you take Metformin or insulin, adding these can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Always monitor your levels. Effectiveness: While they do stimulate the release of GLP-1, they…
In Brief Safety: Liver detox supplements can alter CYP450 enzyme pathways. If you take medications (especially blood thinners or antidepressants), consult a doctor before adding Milk Thistle or NAC. Effectiveness: Clinical data shows that a 5-10% weight loss can…
In Brief Safety: Berberine frequently causes digestive upset while Ozempic carries risks of more serious side effects requiring medical oversight. Effectiveness: Clinical data shows Ozempic leads to significantly greater body weight percentage loss compared to berberine. Key Benefit: Berberine…
