Berberine Glucose Support

Berberine has meta-analysis evidence rivaling metformin for blood sugar management. 500mg with MCT oil for absorption at NOW Foods pricing. Just check drug interactions first since berberine affects how your liver processes many medications.

7.5/10
VERY GOOD

Berberine HCl at 500mg from Berberis aristata root. This is the per-dose amount used in many studies, though optimal is 1500mg/day (3 doses). MCT oil at 200mg for absorption is a smart addition though well below MCT therapeutic doses. Berberine has strong evidence for blood sugar management. You'll want 3 caps daily for the full studied dose. Good single-dose formulation.
