What the research says

Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata)

Evidence tier: Moderate

What it is: A bright yellow plant compound found in the bark and roots of barberry species, studied for its role in how the body handles glucose and fats.

What the research shows: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of 49 randomized controlled trials found that berberine supplementation was associated with changes in several metabolic markers, including triglycerides, total and LDL cholesterol, fasting glucose, and body weight. Many of the included trials enrolled adults with existing metabolic concerns, so the findings may not carry over to people whose markers are already in a healthy range.

Typical study dose: 0.3 to 6.25 g/day for 4 to 104 weeks across the pooled trials, with the strongest lipid and weight findings at about 1 g/day. This describes what the studies used, not a recommended amount. This formula supplies a 1,200 mg berberine HCl blend per two-capsule serving.
