Berberine Supplement Serving Veggie Capsules Reviews Summary

Blood Sugar Management

Pros:

• "I have been using Bitter Melon for a little over 2 weeks, at 1/2 the suggested daily intake. I noticed I felt better and my blood glucose was a bit lower."
• "I wanted the Berberine for blood glucose control and like that it has Ceylon cinnamon and bitter melon as well."
• "I ordered these to see if they would help with my blood sugar and so far they have helped keep my numbers within normal range."
• "This product works really good controlling my blood sugars. I take 2 every morning and it holds it stable all day and night."
• "I've been taking Berberine for a while and am having success with weight loss."
• "Helped reduce my blood sugar and blood pressure."
• "I have experienced a measurable decrease in my blood glucose level."

Cons:

• "The only thing I dislike was that every time I took the three capsules a day as suggested, my blood sugar ended up dropping too much."
• "I take berberine instead of metformin so now my body is used to knowing which one helps me lower my blood sugar and which one is not... unfortunately this doesn't help with my sugar unlike my previous one coz my level is more than my normal range."
• "Blood sugar testing didn't show any different results."
• "I used it to maintain my blood sugar... but no good for a diabetic because they have rice flour in it and that is bad for diabetic my blood sugar was 80 to 112 for all day with the other brand but when I used this one my lowest was 125 to 170 not good."
• "This item is not suitable for consumption. There is a black substance throughout the pills that appears to be mold."
• "The pills in the bottle have like a brown/orange substance in here. Not sure why, the ad pics show the pills should be yellow."
• "ALL the tablets have a dark brown contaminant in them."

Appetite and Weight Control

Pros:

• "First time using bitter melon supplements... With diet and exercise I think this can jump start some weight loss!"
• "I do enjoy the appetite suppressant it provides while I work in an office setting that enjoys 'sharing the moment' with sweet treats."
• "Berberine works as an appetite suppressant, I no longer have food on my mind, eat less while and feel full after eating half of what I usually consumed in a meal."
• "I was skeptical about this but after taking this for approximately two weeks, it has decreased my appetite."
• "I've tried a few different brands of Berberine supplements over the past few months. This one seems to work well - no taste and feel like I'm less hungry when I'm using it."
• "I’ve been taking these vitamins for 3 months and I noticed my pants are a lot looser. I weighed myself today and realized I have lost 28 pounds without even trying."
• "It curbs my appetite for lunch which I noticed, I eat less."

Cons:

• "I gained 20 pounds in 2 months."
• "I did not see to control my appetite at all and I did not see any difference of eating habit."
• "I was craving sweets and couldn't control it."
• "Case in point is that I did not loose weight with Berberine."
• "I've followed the recommended dosage for a few weeks now and I haven't noticed any difference in my weight or anything else."
• "This will not curb your appetite or help with your blood sugar or help you lose weight in any way at all."
• "Appetite increased significantly. Not sure if it is an interaction with something else I am taking. Very uncomfortable."

Product Quality and Packaging

Pros:

• "The Pills have pleasant taste and 750 mg per pill is a great deal compared to other brand names."
• "Great company, great product, great dosage and I definitely recommend."
• "I like that it doesn't have any of the icky stuff like gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat, & yeast."
• "Good price for and 80 day supply."
• "Easy to swallow and well packaged for long lasting quality."
• "They third party test all of their supplements in the USA."
• "Great value for the money. One of the highest mg available in the market and very competitive price."

Cons:

• "Avoid this product and look elsewhere."
• "Berberine Supplement I purchased has lots of filler and very little berberine content compared to the other brand."
• "Unfortunately, there were a number of defective capsules in this bottle, capsules that had broken ends (not sure how that happens), and the bottle had quite a bit of loose powder."
• "Four capsules were defective and released their contents throughout the bottle, coating all the remaining capsules, making them unusable due to the overpowering taste of the berberine, cinnamon, bitter melon powder."
• "Just randomly putting labels on a bottle with some that are cGMP and some are lab tested doesn't show consistency."
• "ALL have a pretty distinct smell when you first open the bottle... This had none."
• "The labeling is deceptive."

Side Effects and Reactions

Pros:

• "It’s easy on the stomach; I don’t find any issues with aches or pains."
• "There are no side effects, I don't feel speeded up, tired or drugged."
• "My body is really sensitive to most medications, but I haven’t experienced any bloating, stomach issues or any other side effects."
• "I suffer from IBS and get crazy bloated. I have only been taking this for a few days and it’s already helping to decrease the bloating."
• "That same bitter taste is missing (thank you!) from the supplement, and only the benefits are retained."
• "I like that they are made with non-GMO ingredients and have been 3rd party lab tested so I can feel somewhat reassured that they are what they purport to be."
