I chose this one because of its improved absorption and added cinnamon matrix.

I also appreciate that it’s a vegetarian formula with no unnecessary additives.An excellent choice for supporting metabolism and overall health! Highly recommend!

Bought it for glycemic control. Had one blood test while using it & it seems to lower glucose levels a little. About to get another blood draw after 6 months of use. We’ll see…

High quality product. Package feel and looks perfect. Highly recommend.

Berberine products do actually lower blood sugar, just not a lot. That is not to knock the product because I am sure there are folks that this product has helped much. I have type 2 like many others, but this didn't help much for me. However, people are different, and I would say that if you have done your homework and willing to try it out, give it a go. Understand though that everything has risks and this is no different. Talk with your health care provider before trying anything. That said, I personally didn't experience any negative effects. There are conversations about having upset stomachs when using berberine. Do your homework, check with your doctor, and if trying this out is for you, then this is actually a great product to start with. Stop using it immediately if you do get adverse effects. Let us all know how you do.

I’ve been using this Berberine with Ceylon Cinnamon supplement for a week and already notice improved energy and balance. The combination of dihydroberberine and cinnamon is fantastic, and I appreciate that it’s vegan and has high absorption. It’s an excellent antioxidant and AMPk activator. Highly recommend

I've started using Berberine with Ceylon Cinnamon, and I'm loving the results! It improves metabolism, helps decrease appetite, and is very effective in assisting with lowering blood sugar levels. I’m definitely going to switch my plain Berberine to this one on a regular basis.

I've used regular berberine on and off for years to good effect. When I saw this product I figured I'd give it a shot - a 5X more effective form, along with added benefits of cinnamon? Sign me up. I've used as directed, twice a day with food.Well, I've been noticing two strange things lately. One, my body odor has changed - I've been noticing a really unusual (for me) scent coming from my arm pits. Not my normal odor. Two, when I go to the bathroom the first time in the morning, my urine has been extremely dark - almost orange, sometimes with a pinkish hue. The latter has been very alarming as that is often indicative of serious kidney problems. I have experienced a kidney stone in the past and I experienced a similar thing at that time. I haven't experienced any kidney pain accompanying it this time though, which is normally an obvious tell-tale sign something is wrong. I do have an appointment coming up to get checked out soon but I don't have a specific diagnosis yet.And then it happened, I ran out of this product a couple days ago and I put 2+2 together. The weird body odor is gone, and my urine returned to normal.I don't know if it's the dihydroberberine or the cinnamon at fault - both were new ingredients to me. But it was definitely something in this product.I decided to do some additional research (something I probably should have done first!) I haven't found much linking either ingredient to the issues I have, so that part is still a mystery. What I did find was the 2015 study the manufacturer references when they make the claim "5X more effective." The study does not show it's more effective. It shows it's 5X more bioavailable. That's not the same thing - more bioactive doesn't automatically mean it's more effective. See, newer research on berberine is leaning towards explaining berberine's benefits by it's activity in the gut. That might mean you're better off NOT absorbing it and letting it do its thing with your gut flora in your intestines. The same 2015 research also shows dihydroberberine is LESS active at LDL receptors than regular berberine. So if you're hoping to take it for cholesterol lowering benefits, this is potentially inferior to regular berberine. The research was focused on how it's absorbed and metabolized in the body - so it didn't even test the efficacy of dihydroberberine on blood glucose, so if you're taking it for that reason, the main reason people usually take it - the research simply does not support the claim that the product is more effective. (In fact the 2015 research mentions rats treated with berberine and an antibiotic to blunt it's effect in the gut showed significantly reduced activity on blood glucose. Another hint that it's not the berberine alone that works - its the combination of the berberine and how it effects your gut flora that leads to better glucose control.)Science has a way of taking an ingredient from nature, trying to isolate it or modify it to be "better." It doesn't always mean an improvement. Sometimes nature had it right the first time.So all told - this product is much more expensive than plain berberine. The manufacturer's claim of "5X more effective" is possibly misleading. It makes me stink, and who knows what it was doing to my kidneys. (Hopefully just discoloring my urine without actually causing a deeper problem.) Regardless, I'll be switching back to regular berberine and skipping the cinnamon. Given all the positive reviews, I don't doubt this works for some. I'm not claiming it doesn't work at all. Just that there's nothing to suggest its "more" effective than much cheaper plain old berberine so the price doesn't justify it.
