Luma Nutrition Berberine Supplement - Berberine HCL 1200mg Per Serving - Vegan, Gluten Free, Non-GMO - 60 Capsules

This is a great supplement if you want to decrease blood sugar loose weight decrease inflammation or improve gut health. Really worked for me it’s amazing

This is a magic bullet for diabetes blood sugar medicine! My daily numbers have all dropped down to double digits. My A1C has improved by more than a whole point. It's magnificent! If you're not going to research berberine then you need to know you're not supposed to take it beyond 6 months. So every 6 weeks I take a 1 week break so I'll be able to take over the long haul. (Another option that was suggested is take it Mon-Fri and take the weekends off. I'm going to switch to this option when I get ready to start up again). If you do research it and they tell you it's comparable to metformin. No it's not! Not one bit! First of all metformin never did anything but give me the runs. 2nd is berberine actually works very well with no side effects. Luma Nutrition is the best. 1,200 mg 1 time a day and you're done! I always take it with dinner. (About 20-30 minutes before I eat) It has worked wonders on my numbers! The very first night I took it - I skipped my insulin 70 units - and when I took my 1st reading it was 83! Without the insulin! Before with insulin my numbers were up to 160 or so to 200+! Now I'm not recommending you to skip your insulin if you have a bedtime insulin. I always skip a night or two here and there. sadly to make it last longer. But that's just me and my choice! YOU need to MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE! Be very careful and find out what works best for you. I still took my night insulin if my number was a little high before bed. But I'd only need 40 units at most. But I worked my way down to that little by little. I told my doc everything and showed him my numbers and what I've managed with my insulin and he was really happy and approved me doing it. I did ask for SOME insulin just incase I needed it. When I say a little high before bed I mean like 120-130 at most. I don't take insulin when my number is in double digits. It's scary and very dangerous to crash while you're asleep. And that happened to me a few times. And you must know I haven't changed 1 single thing in my diet or exercise (which was none) at all. NOTHING! I can only imagine what I could do with a couple of tweaks. I'll get there when I'm ready cuz those are 2 new impacts on blood sugar and something else I'd need to work out. Y'all see what I'm saying? This is the real deal tho! Just be careful with it. Good luck everybody! Stay safe!

Works better than the liquid versions I have tried. Went through 4 brands before coming across this one and it really does help lower blood sugar for me. Follow directions and take 30 minutes before eating.

I’ve been taking this supplement for about 2 months now. I exercise regularly - 5 times a week. I have lost about 5 pds since I started taking it. So I wouldn’t say I lost a crazy amount of weight but I think it helped me lose some pounds. I am switching to a different brand to see how that one goes. But this product is good.

Just what I ordered

I'm really excited! I have been a diabetic for 20 years and for the most part, I would avoid the medication because of how it would make me feel. Actos, Metformin and Glipizide just always had a negative effect on me. I heard from Dr. Berg and others on YouTube that Berberine is a natural way to lower sugar and works just like Metformin but naturally and not with a lot of chemicals. (Berberine has numerous other health benefits - check it out.) This is what I always wanted - the holistic approach! My sugars were gradually getting worse and worse. I started taking this product and in less than a week's time, my sugars have dropped almost 200 points!!! Berberine curves your appetite too, which is awesome. My digestive and bathroom issues are almost back to normal with no bloating!!! I can feel my body healing and I am so excited! It will always bother me why doctors refuse to tell their patients about the healthier way to get healthy!!! Sooo many medications have a lot of bad side effects ... or the doctor will give you something else to combat the negative reaction of the first med!!! OK, so I have been following the advice on YouTube to take one capsule (600mg) with your heaviest meal and the other with your other heavy meal. If I don't eat much that day, I'll take it before going to bed to avoid the huge sugar spike. It's working. I did take 3 pills because my sugars were so high. Just listen to your body and monitor it closely. I saw the negative comment below about the lady getting bloated and feeling horrible, etc. after being on it for over a year. I would say, once you are where you want to be with berberine, maybe lighten up on the dosage or skip a day. For me right now, it is a very positive thing and I am sooo glad I learned about this and I am very thankful to the Lord for leading me to berberine!

I’ve been taking this for some time now & my glucose levels have dropped significantly. I didn’t want to take the Metformin & my doctor was ok with me trying Berberine. Give it a try, not a drug & definitely worked for me, I take 2 a day. One before lunch & one before dinner.

It was good.. until it wasn’t . I had this on my auto subscription because I had been taking it for almost a year. I do believe it helped my blood sugar levels drop, but the side effects I started having were horrible . I started getting horrible stomach issues such as severe bloating where it looked like I was pregnant from the bloating . I would get horrible acid reflux that no anti acid would help and also had the worst bowel movements. I didn’t know what was the culprit and started eliminating certain foods. It got so bad that I would go weeks without eating only being able to eat soup, crackers and tea. I went to the doctor’s several times and finally my doctor recommended a endoscopy/colonoscopy be done . I also had a CT scan done and that came back showing my large intestines were significantly swollen, which was so painful!! My endoscopy/colonoscopy came back clear, thank God. They couldn’t figure out why my intestines were swollen and just gave me nausea pills that they give to people on chemo ( that’s how bad my nausea was) and I was on a very bland diet . I started making a list of the things I was eating only the regular and supplements I was taking . I started down the list writing down how I felt when I’d eat a specific food & eliminating it as I went . Well, the only supplement left that I was taking was this berberine. I decided to cut it out too. It took a couple of weeks for my stomach to settle after I stopped taking it , but then I was back to normal as if nothing had happened. I started reintroducing the foods and supplements which I had cut out… they gave me no issues. The only thing I didn’t add back was this berberine . So beware of your start having intestinal/stomach issues, because this specific brand of berberine may be the culprit. I am now on another brand of berberine and have had zero issues thus far. I dislike complaining or adding bad reviews, but I thought I’d share this in hopes of sparing someone from going through what I went through, so if you have a sensitive stomach or start having one, stay clear of this one ! It was horrible being at the ER several times, being in pain and losing that time with loved one’s when I wasn’t feeling well .
