nutripactBerberine Supplement with Chromium Picolinate and Black Pepper - 60 Vegan Capsules (not Tablets) High Strength 500mg - Made in The UK

I feel better taking this supplement. I don't tend to crave sweet products when taken regularly.

Product was delivered on time . I have been using it but I don't see any benefits.

Berberine seems to work.

I have long been taking berberine in the hopes of lowering my blood glucose. It appears to offer similar benefits to metformin. However it can also cause similar problems ie extreme digestive upset if taken at too high a dose. Although unpleasant, these symptoms are in no way life-threatening. They are very obvious, and go away when the sufferer discontinues taking berberine. Initially, I started on a very low dose and, having no problems, increased to 2 x 500mg caps twice daily. I then over-reached, increasing to 3 x caps daily (always with meals.) The results were explosive! I discontinued berberine for a while and then began again from the beginning @ 1 x 500mg cap. daily. Having no adverse symptoms, I recently increased to 2 x 500mg daily. I have learned my lesson and have no ambition to raise my dose any higher.If you are new to berberine, you might want to consider buying from Smug (also on Amazon). They offer a letter-box friendly packet with 300mg capsules. They recommend taking 3 caps daily, but a beginner could nicely take just one capsule daily, in order to start cautiously, gradually working up to 2 and then 3 caps daily before perhaps ordering some higher strength berberine supplements. 500mg is the most commonly sold.I like that this supplement also contains chromium, which may also lower blood glucose levels, and black pepper for absorption. What I very much dislike is the inclusion of brown rice flour. It comes first in the list of ingredients, which means it is the biggest. It has no function here except as a "bulking agent". Why on earth do we need a bulking agent? Are customers going to complain that capsules are too small if they contain only the active ingredients? People like me who take berberine in the hopes of better blood sugars may well be leery of consuming unnecessary carbohydrates. The actual amount may not be huge (we are not told) but taken twice daily or more it will add up.The advice to take just one 500mg capsule daily is imo ill-advised. The dose of berberine we need will depend on our individual aims and health problems, as well as on our tolerance for this supplement. One 500mg dose a day will cost less, but a higher dose might well bring more benefits. Finding a less expensive supplement and taking more of it might be the way to go.I am not keen on the white plastic bottle. As we become more aware of the harms of plastic, to our health and our world, I much prefer to receive supplements in either brown glass bottles or light-weight letterbox friendly re-sealable pouches.

The media could not be loaded. I must admit I had never heard of Berberine before until I started my weightless journey. But the reported benefits of taking this supplement sounded amazing so I was so lucky to have been able to get this item to review for Vine.Incorporated within a vegan/ vegetarian suitable capsule, and containing only 4 ingredients which are brown rice for bulking, black pepper to aid absorbsion, Chromium which has been reported to help reduce insulin sensitivity and cholesterol levels and of course Berberine which also has been reported to have very similar benefits as Chromium as well as other reported health improvements. I like the fact that with these capsules their is no unnecessary hidden extra ingredients that nobody has any idea why they have included and only natural ingredients with a purpose have been used.Quite large in size, so not really suitable for those people who have trouble with swallowing tablets. Although the composition of the capsule itself does help to aid with swallowing.These capsules have been dosed to be taken just once a day..with or without food.And with 60 capsules supplied per pot, the value for money here is incredible.Not really sure if the reported health benefits have materialised yet as I haven't been back to the Doctors for a check-up but I figure for the cost of 1 pot of capsules and a couple of seconds of time each day to take, these capsules are definitely worth me giving a go.

I've been taking this for just over a month now and I've had no issues with side-effects and find the capsules easy to swallow with no initial taste or aftertaste.Berberine offers many benefits which I am sure you are already aware of by looking at this product. I can't comment on those benefits but these capsules contain a high level of Berberine.The one thing I can say is that in terms of weight loss I can't say I have really noticed much difference with my weight but there are obviously so many other factors that come into this, and at the end of the day if I eat less calories then my body burns I will lose weight - I had hoped these would have given me a boost but I can't say I have observed one.

These berberine supplements I tried to reduce my sugar levels as recommended by someone. These are easy to take and not irritating for my sensitive stomach. These are tasteless and after taking these I had my hba1c test which came 1% down. But I can’t confirm that this 1% is because of just these supplements as I was following low carbs diet too. Price is affordable.

The capsules are easy to swallow, and I haven’t experienced any stomach discomfort, which I sometimes get with other supplements. It’s a bit of an investment, but the combination of ingredients makes it a more comprehensive supplement, so it feels worth it.
