Review: It Works-- Amazingly Well. - I thought I'd try this after extensive research-- escalating health problems have been putting weight on for years while creating energy and illness issues that made it impossible to be consistent with good diet and daily exercise. I read all the reviews so I knew to take it with food. Some minor gas/discomfort, but very manageable, and I noticed very quickly that I felt full on very little food. On the second day it was clearly affecting my sleep patterns -- I no longer wake multiple times in the night, and am appropriately tired at bedtime. My energy is up and stable, and best of all, my exercise tolerance radically increased-- I want to exercise and can now exercise vigorously on long walks (something I have been unable to do for quite a while without pain & exhaustion) and can do a long fast walk and make it up 3plus flights of stairs-- I haven't been able to do that for years without feeling like I would pass out. I am able to eat a very lo cal diet without cravings or hunger, and in one week, my weight is down 4 lbs. Something threw my metabolism off 20 years ago & it escalated into a whole variety of bad issues that looped on each other-- this is fixing whatever is at the core of it. I heartily recommend you try it. (I have added a good quality probiotic to it, and take it with yogurt or kefir-- the research I read said that improves the positive effects.)
Review: Magic bullet?! - 41/F 5ft 155 lbs started at 164 2 weeks ago. I have tried so many diets, so many pills over the last 20+ years and nothing has ever worked! I worked on my mind, and had psychological help, but the food noise and cravings were always there! Every week I would make new promises to myself, only to break them again on the weekend. I felt so trapped and just wanted to give up. I looked into things like ozympic and other Glp1 medicines, but they were too expensive. I came upon a post online talking about berberine and how it was comparable to glp1s. So I ordered a bottle off desertcart, I took it for several days and gave up... But then recently I was revisiting the glp1 discussion to see if it had gotten any cheaper, I came across posts that raved about berberine, and one particular user said nothing worked for them until they tried the Thorne brand, others agreed, so I ordered my 1st bottle. This is my experience, and im not exaggerating: The difference was immediate, by the very 1st day the food noise shut off! I dont know if that's how others experienced their first day, but for me it was immediate! And then during the 1st week I noticed more changes; food cravings were gone! I could take a taste of something sweet and walk away and forget about it! The taste didnt even linger! My physical changes around food changed drastically too! When I am about to eat something tasty my pupils don't dilate anymore, my heart doesn't race, I don't salivate, I basically don't have that addiction response anymore! It makes me feel like I have always JUST eaten! I don't even think about food until I am physically hungry! I think this must be how a thin person feels, I don't have the emotional or psychological attachment to food anymore, at first I was a little sad because for 40 years food has been a huge part of my life. I just went and had an ice cream cone, I asked for 1 scoop because that's all I wanted, I didnt want to eat a lot of sweet. My brain did not light up at all! I dont have spikes and crashes in my blood sugar levels anymore.... But I think this medication does more than just that, I think it does something else to the body besides regulate blood sugar, because it shuts down the food noise, if anything I have more of an aversion to sweets. So this has been my experience so far. I started it October 12th. 1 pills with breakfast and 1 with dinner. I will try to come back and update next month.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did anyone experience a detox when starting?**
A: Yes.  I started taking one capsule three times a day right before a meal, about a week ago.  I feel like I have a mild flu.  I'm going to empty half of the powder out and just take 1/2 a dose and see how that goes.   By the way, I've lowed my fasting glucose by 20 pts in the morning.  I don't want to stop taking this because I think it's helping me, but I do not like this flu like feeling.

**Q: since so many pharmaceuticals are now produced in China. is there any way to tell if this is also produced in China? i couldn't get a straight answer**
A: Thorne Research manufactures their products in their new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in South Carolina, USA. Thorne Research sources its ingredients from around the world, including China. However, what is much more important than the country of origin of an ingredient is the testing that is done on that ingredient when it is received by the manufacturer. Thorne Research does not rely on the Certificate of Origin from an ingredient supplier. Instead, Thorne Research tests every single ingredient in their own in-house laboratory, regardless of the ingredient's country of origin, to verify the ingredient's identification, purity, and quality. Please contact Thorne or iServe directly if you would like more information.  We are both happy to help!

**Q: What are the ingredients listed on the bottle?**
A: Berberine HCL (from Indian Berberry extract((root) (Berberis aristata)  1 gOther ingredients: Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Silicon Dioxide, Leucine.

**Q: Is this product fully absorbed? i read that dihydroberine is the preferred form to get almost 100% bioavailability. regular berebrine is only 20%.**
A: The berberine ingredient in Thorne’s Berberine-500 has consistently shown reliable absorbability and clinical efficacy. Although it is true that berberine has variable absorbability, consistent dosing with a high-quality ingredient, such as the berberine used in Thorne’s Berberine-500, has shown to be effective.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are insulin resistant run--don't walk, run--to order this (of course check with your doctor, etc.)
*by J***T on January 10, 2017*

This has been a miracle drug to the person for whom I purchased it because they are insulin resistant (apparently many people are who do not know it). The person lost an incredible amount of weight as a direct result of taking this version of berberine. The only side effect seems to be a more active bowel movement schedule. Not diarrhea, just more and looser BMs. If you are having an insulin resistance problem i.e. you can't lose weight no matter how much you exercise and cut calories you should consider looking into whether you are insulin resistant and taking berberine. Look up the studies comparing prescription Metformin to berberine and you'll see that berberine is literally just as effective but without side effects. Don't believe me, look it up yourself. And it seems this particular brand and dosage works as claimed whereas many others do not. I appreciate the "Amazon's Choice" endorsement of this and other supplements as they cut through the morass of ineffective versions of supplements. The person who is taking this was considering Metformin. According the U.S. government--the National Institutes of Health--berberine does everything Metformin does but without side effects. And as far as I can tell, that is absolutely the case. I am loathe to endorse any product as a weight loss drug because I have never seen one that worked without concomitant harm of some sort. But this one absolutely is a weight loss drug if--and it's a big IF--you are insulin resistant (borderline type 2 diabetic) and considering taking Metformin. In the case I am witnessing (it's been about 90 days--30 days on, 30 days off, 30 days on--there is no question that berberine has radically treated insulin resistance. When the person was off, appetite was high, weight loss stopped, tiredness returned, etc. On berberine (this brand and dosage in particular) the person has lost weight, reduced appetite, increased energy, improved muscle tone, complexion, etc.--all the stuff that the imbalanced blood sugar levels were affecting. Could not give this a higher recommendation.
