HUM Best of Berberine Supplement 1200mg, Pure Potency for Metabolic Wellness, Gut Health, Pure Berberine Supplements Enhanced with BioPerine for Maximum Absorption, 60 Capsules

I decided to try this brand of Berberine because of its TrustScore in my SuppCo app, which carefully and scientifically tests and reviews supplements. I had been taking another Berberine supplement since February of this year in an effort to support my weight loss journey and lower my cholesterol. I had read that Berberine would help curb cravings and appetite and possible help reduce cholesterol and mine was quite high. I can't say it curbs appetite all that much, but it does seem to help with sugar cravings. I take it in the morning with breakfast. I noticed a significant improvement when I switched to this brand over the one I had been taking. No upset stomach, I'm pretty sensitive to things in general. Good energy, much better appetite control and the quality is far superior to the one I was taking before. It's a little more expensive, but to me worth the slightly higher price due to better absorption and noticeable effects. I have lost 50 lbs and my high cholesterol levels are now all within normal limits (although I was also put on a low dose statin for 8 months this year, which I have been able to stop as my cardiologist was shocked by the significant reduction in my cholesterol levels). I've wondered if the Berberine worked with the statin to help rapidly reduce my cholesterol levels although losing 50 lbs most certainly contributed as well. I think this brand is far superior to others I've tried.

So good! Really makes a difference in blood sugar control. It’s helped a huge deal. Highly recommend. I’ve had zero negative side effects.

It works for me! I have been taking this for three or four weeks. The first couple of weeks I noticed very little appetite control and no weight loss. But suddenly this last week I noticed I was eating way less and lost 5 pounds! So far I love it. I’ve had no side effects with this and will continue to take it. It’s the first thing that has ever worked for me. Update: After a couple more weeks of taking this I noticed a moderate degree of stomach upset. It was enough that I decided to test it, hoping it wasn’t these pills because they do seem to work. I quit taking them for a couple days and my stomach was better. Then I took one pill instead of two and within a half hour the stomach upset was back. So unfortunately I will have to stop taking them.

I'm not a person that eats much in one sitting. I'm a grazer. I munch a lot. But now that I'm in my 50s, my body acts differently. Managing my weight and body shape is one of those "different" things I'm having trouble with. Becoming overweight has always been a huge source of anxiety for me. I'm afraid of the medical issues and lifestyle consequences that come with being overweight. With these pills, my appetite & "munchies" mentality is gone! I could go all day without eating if I didn't have a handful of pills I need to take with food in the evenings. I have not noticed an increase of energy. I have not had any bad side effects. It has not hindered my sleep. I take 2 pills in the morning, with breakfast, or sometimes just coffee, & I'm just not hungry or munchie all day. I don't know if it would last until bedtime because I do make myself eat dinner to take my pills. I've only been taking them for about a week so I haven't noticed any weight loss yet. But like I said, I'm in my 50s now. Weight loss takes longer now. But I will definitely be ordering these again next month!

I have been using these pills for months now. I do recommend that you take breaks because I did notice that after awhile they weren’t as affective nor did I feel the usual symptoms. Currently I’m on a break from them and plan to start again around April. I do 1 month yes and 1 month no. I usually start to feel the pills working around Day 5-6. You have to be consistent with it if you miss a day you have to start all over again. I also recommend you take it by latest 12:00 pm because you want it to kick in around evening time. I notice that when I took it in the evening time I was craving and snacking more in the morning and afternoon. Being on the pills only and no workout at all I lost about 4lbs in 1 month. Some of the symptoms you may experience is filling full quicker, if you overeat you may throw up and if you eat a really bad meal it may cause diarrhea. Despite all that, I love them and 100% recommend.

After reading the reviews, most of which were positive, and reading the instructions on how to take these supplements - 2 capsules daily with food, I ordered a bottle. For 3 days I took 2 daily with food, typically around 11am, but I also combined them with 2 of the Flatter Me capsules, as HUMs website and countless websites said that was safe. We'll after 3 days of doing this, on day 3 I took it a little bit later and also not at the same time as the Flatter Me, probably around 1pm that day, and by 10:30pm, I was awakened to uncontrollable shaking, followed by a headache, out of nowhere! I went online to do some research and found that taking Belberine at that high a dose, 1200mg a day, could cause a severe drop in blood sugar levels, causing a hypoglycemia attack in some people! I'm only writing this review to alert some people may have this same reaction, it was terrifying, lasted a good half an hour before I found an article saying drinking 4oz of oj or other fruit juice could help balance you out. If I had known about this possible side effect, I would've not taken the full dose at least.

Tried this based off of an influencer. Didn't notice any significant results.

Great quality, no issues with digestion like other berberine supplements. Flavorless.
