Berberine HCl 400mg

7.0/10
VERY GOODBerberine at 400mg is 80% of the 500mg minimum effective single dose. Clinical protocols typically use 500mg 2-3x daily with meals. At 400mg, you're slightly below the single-dose threshold but still in a potentially effective range. Swanson pricing makes this one of the most affordable berberine options. Taking 2 capsules (800mg) would put you in the clinical range. Adequate but not optimally dosed per capsule.
