Ohh, the pills do taste awful but nothing that’s unbearable.
The studies I’ve read showed that 1,200-1,500 mg/day resulted in lowered A1C and significant weight loss without any dietary changes... so I’ve been taking 1-2 capsule daily for at least 6 months. Figured that, paired with very low carb eating, would be even more weight loss.
What I noticed first was that my blood sugar didn’t rise when I cheated with pizza or ice cream occasionally. I also noticed it didn’t dip too low in mid-afternoons when I used to get strong cravings for candy (even sometimes on keto). Even the mornings after a late night holiday meal with lots of pie my fasting glucose remained under 100!
While I’ve only lost about 5lbs in 6 mos...after a 20lb loss on keto....I’m certain this product has kept me from gaining weight back over the holidays, and for that I’m grateful. I still have a bottle of the old Berberine, but won’t touch it unless I run out of the Toniq...I honestly don’t think it compares to the quality of this little black bottle.
It's no more expensive than metformin and my first bottle lasted me a month. Whatever weight I gained over the holidays was minimal compared to what it would've been without these blood-sugar managing medicines and I lost the same pound and a half with the most basic diet (not heavily restrictive or rigid). I'm very happy with this first month and relieved that I don't have to go through doctors to get what my body needs.
The only side effect I'm experiencing is diarrhea but I'm not nauseated all day/everyday like I was at the beginning of my metformin journey.
The pill slides right down with water, it has a very earthy taste to it..sort of like you just swallowed a tree but it isn't unpleasant and it somehow feels better knowing that it's more natural. It made my poop yellow which is kind of cool too.
Window. Then your levels slowly creep back up, just in time for your next dose.
It would be really nice if toniiq could offer dyhydro berberine.
Great buy great product.
1. Fights Infection
Many studies have pointed out that the berberine contained within barberry has significant antimicrobial and antifungal abilities. By inhibiting the ability of bacteria to attach to human cells, it helps protect against many infections.
Barberry is used to ease a large variety of inflammation and infection in the body. It helps with bladder, urinary tract and gastrointestinal infections. It also helps relieve common respiratory tract ailments, including sore throat, nasal congestion, sinusitis and bronchitis. Candida infections may also be improved through the use of this herb.
2. Aids the GI Tract
Berberine acts on the smooth muscles that line the intestines, helping improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal pain. Barberry is even an effective treatment for diarrhea, including both traveler’s diarrhea and diarrhea caused by food poisoning.
A few studies have suggested that it improves gastrointestinal problems faster than antibiotics, most likely due to its astringent properties. Studies like the one published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases showed that berberine relieves bacterial diarrhea without any negative side effects.
3. Prevents and Helps Diabetes
Barberry has proven positive effects on blood sugar, making it an excellent choice to prevent and improve diabetes. One study conducted on berberine compared taking 500 milligrams of this compound found in barberry two to three times daily for three months with taking the common diabetes drug metformin. Berberine was able to control blood sugar and lipid metabolism as effectively as metformin, with researchers describing berberine as a “potent oral hypoglycemic agent.”
Additional studies have also indicated that berberine improves glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. A study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine showed that berberine can improve insulin sensitivity by adjusting adipokine (cell-signaling proteins) secretion.
Adipokines have been shown to mediate inflammation and insulin resistance.
or crampy. this is my supplement of choice, not disappointed at all. Jason 395..............................
Giving 4 stars until my bloodwork is done and can verify some/any effects, but so far I feel good.
The ingredients may be quality, but y'all could pay closer attention to quality control and get your capsules to stay together.
I have been taking the Solaray brand which had been lowering my points by about 20. Seemed to build a tolerance so then I tried this more expensive brand. If you get a jar that has yellow powder all over inside of it, the capsules are going to taste awful. I would return it
This seems to really curb my appetite., especially mid-afternoon and evenings.
I have lost 2lbs. since I started last week.
Took Sat, Sun and now Mon. Yesterday was a super good day. I have a prediabetic history with A1C at 5.5 two months ago. The CGM initially showed big spikes (for me) up to 170-180 after a bowl of oatmeal for example. I'm on a pescatarian whole food diet and that has help drop those spikes down to 140-150. And I have seen even more improvement on some days in the last two weeks, but yesterday stood out after about three doses of this berberine.
Fairly large lunch and then dinner with whole grain bread, beans, chickpeas. About 700-800 calorie meals and my blood glucose peaked at about 125 and quickly came back to 100.
I just took another one before my three toast + eggs + avocado + protein shake + berries & yogurt mid-morning breakfast. 75 min later my peak at 108 and now down to 98. I generally get a second peak, but always smaller than the first. I have not seen these low numbers before at all. Not even close. This same breakfast has pushed me up to 145 before. The best peak was 128 or so. If the peak was truly 108... Wow. game change.
Update 1: After a few more days of testing, I'm seeing incredible results from the CGM. Over night sleeping levels are lower and consistent. Pre-breakfast values in the low 90s whereas before they would jump just above 100. Almost no jump in glucose after breakfast. I did get a response after eating more carbs last night for dinner. Jumped to 130 and back down within 10 min to the 80s.
Before meals and again 2 hours after,
Using these tables I was able to get a 110 reading 2hours after eating 2 burgers then went to bed and woke up with a 108
My
Usual numbers would have been 150 ➕️ after eating that much carbs
Testing this 2 and 4 hours after eating carbs
And good results so far......
Hopefully it stays like this ..
----------------------------
I have used Berberine for a long time for my type 2 diabetes. The one I like has don MIA and so I thought I would try this because I love their other products. This stuff does not work at all normally I keep my blood sugar in the 90’s. This stuff does not work when taking it I am 120-135 or higher.
Relief is more important than taste! I have fibromyalsia, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, heart disease, at least 2 types of arthritis, multiple bone spurs in my neck and back, bulging disc's, IBS, ihave chronic constipation, acid reflux, LPR (silent reflux which causes a chronic choking 24/7), migraines, I am borderline type 2 diabetic. My mom told me about BERBERINE a couple months ago. I debated on whether to try it. ONLY AFTER ONE WEEK OF 3 A DAY, if things keep going as they are right now, it looks like I'll be able to come off of my Linzess (for constipation), my Nexium ( for acid & LPR), my flexeril ( for joint pain), and hopeful my cholesterol needs. I'll wait until I see my doctor for that one. I don't usually think it off the box. But in so tired of being in so much pain all the time. It has definitely given me a huge about of energy! The taste is absolutely HORRIBLE, but if it helps me, that's what is the most important! I did a lot of research before buying. This IS THE MOST PURE FORM! I will definitely be a monthly buyer. I already have several people going to subscribe with me.
I only took 2 capsules per day. 1 in the a.m.
& 1 in the p.m.
Shortly after starting the regimen I began to experience GERD-like symptoms, along with nausea and diarrhea. With the loss of appetite I wasn’t eating very much at all.
When I did go to the bathroom I had diarrhea.
The nausea was intermittent and I just felt bad for the duration.
Prior to the Berberine I had also started a VLCD almost carnivore WOE so I was thinking this must be an adjustment period. I decreased the dose and continued to the take the Berberine only 1 per day. The diarrhea, reflux and nausea persisted.
I have stopped taking the Berberine.
I have been miserable 😩 I still don’t have an appetite 🙂.
If I drink water or eat anything or not I might add.
My digestive system is making all kinds of noise and commotion .
This is my first brand and attempt at taking Berberine.
It think this brand may be too strong for me.
I have contacted Toniq and hope they can help me out.
But It does what it says! 😁
Update I did restart the Berberine again and had not problems at all. It definitely decreases appetite. I will be reordering.
But, then I thought maybe any berberine supplement would do and I got 2 bottles of nutrivein for a really good price...it did nothing...
I ordered this product for the third time and there was yellow powder in the jar and at least one capsule that was half full...this really bothered me...this jar should never have left the factory....I didn't see anywhere I could contact them so I'm not sure about what I'm going to do...does someone know of another berberine supplement that works?
before every meal to balance his blood sugar.
This order arrived on time and in good condition.
It works so well for me I will be ordering more.
I also inadvertenty notced it is much easier to get up without pain/stiffness in my back/hips... did not expect that either... this is very interesting. I am so happy with this that I've uped my subscribe and save to every two weeks so I don't run out.
Sept 4th update: A1C: 7.6 down to 6.3! (Sorry I'm a little late with the update) but man I'll take 6.3 all day long! I know "technically" it's still high but "technically" I'm happier than a bear eating salmon! I mean really! Come on! 5.6 or lower? For someone with diabetes that just seems impossible. IDK with the way things are going - a little tweak here and a little tweak there I just might make it with the help of berberine. Bottom line? You don't need all those fancy shamsy supplements. With this and that in it that costs you $50 and only has a titch of berberine? But if you pulled my hair and threatened to put toothpicks in my eyes and forced me to say - I would say at most maybe get a berberine/ceylon cinnamon one. It must be ceylon cinnamon. You do the research cassia v ceylon. And you want minimum 1,500 mgs. Oh and about the food part I was meaning the toniiq. I don't think I was paying attention to what I ate before I took it and vice versa. But either way I'm sticking to my Luma Nutrition. (1200 mg) good luck y'all!
In terms of the product itself I think I'm less hungry & very excited to see long term results.Would recommend even with damaged capsules.
During my well woman's 4/15 got blood work done was 11.8 a few weeks later 5/6 had a follow up appt with another doc retested I told her about these she doubted that they worked she was trying to put me on metformin got my results yesterday it was 9.8 I knew it was working could feel it in my body no more high blood sugar symptoms.
My old clothes are too big now they fall off so it’s reducing my belly fat.
Plus I’ve still been eating sugar and carbs! To maximize going forward I’m going to eat healthier, exercise, and keep taking these I’m confident that in 3 months 7/1 my type 2 diabetes will be eradicated.
I'll be honest: of all the medications I take, including tablets capsules and caplets, this is by far the most unpleasant in terms of experience. There's a really unpleasant taste to the capsule even though it's barely on my tongue for more than a second, and if I don't take it with food and I cough, sneeze or burp in the hour following the dose, it's just. So gross. But all things considered, I'm willing to tolerate that because it does what it's meant to do. As I said, I'm not diabetic, but I do have unpredictable blood sugar levels and PCOS makes me somewhat insulin-resistant. Taking berberine makes my blood sugar incredibly stable, even if I'm eating like crap, and it helps with the overall fatigue I'm constantly battling with due to my thyroiditis. It's not a magic bullet of a supplement, but it's supportive and effective for specific needs. I just wish there was an alternative to the capsule - like a caplet, or some other kind of vehicle that blocks the flavor completely until it's in your stomach.
Take on a regular basis...
Money is worth not expensive
Will order more, delivery received as indicated on the order
Highly recommended
I highly recommend this Berberine based on my experience.
So this berberine is definitely effective and it has an additional virtue. Like the Bacopa the effect of Toniiq's extracts feels purer and cleaner. When you are familiar with taking herbs, you begin to acquire a kind of sixth sense about quality, a definite feeling really in the same way that you begin to appreciate the differences in fine tea and fine coffee. This company, based on subjective yet somatic response, strongly believes in the purity and integrity of their products. There extracts feel like the very essences of the herbs themselves. Really fine.
And they have an enlightened customer service philosophy as well.
While I credit diet and exercise for the majority of it, I strongly feel that the Berberine has helped. I believe this because I followed a similar diet plan in 2017 and lost the same amount of weight and that saw my A1C drop from 9.2 to 6.4 (my meter's 90-day average before this test was in the 130s). My meter readings are a lot lower and the only difference between now and three years ago is that I'm taking supplements -- including Berberine. The only caveat is that I'm taking a lot of different supplements and many of them have "may lower blood glucose levels" as a possible health benefit. The reason I'm giving Berberine the most credit is that it seems to be the one with the most studies to back it up with regard to helping diabetes, but it's honestly impossible for me to say it's just it.
Don't worry about the stomach aches and bowel movements. It will hurt less than metformin. Plus, if you are having insulin resistance, you'll loose a lot of weight because of this when it helps regulate it. My stomach looks smaller already!
And that bitter taste isn't there like everyone else says. I am just hoping those people know how to eat pills....
I tried it multiple times just to make absolutely sure it was this product and it absolutely is without any doubt.
Toniiq contacted me and took care of me, they indicated the high strength and purity is most likely the culprit - Thanks Toniiq
