Luma NutritionBerberine Supplement - Berberine HCL 1200mg Per Serving - Vegan, Gluten Free, Non-GMO - 60 Capsules

It does what it says it does.I have been taking one of these in the late morning for about two weeks, and I can really tell a difference. There are times when I feel like it almost works too well, and I have a hard time forcing myself to eat. During those times, it's not uncommon for me to feel faintly hungry but nothing will sound "good", if that makes sense. I have found that food tastes a little different when I take it.I don't mind the taste of the capsule. They are a little bit on the larger side, but are not the largest vitamins I take (my fish oil supplements are absolute horse pills).I would recommend this product, especially when you consider the other wellness and longevity benefits of berberine (similar mechanism of action as metformin in managing blood sugar and insulin sensitivity).

I took it for a month, and I am getting ready to buy another bottle. I did not experience any nausea, stomach upset or headaches. I did not notice much of a difference in my weight (I may have lost a pound or 2) but I can honestly say that I noticed a slight decrease in appetite. I did not notice any change in my energy levels.

This is a magic bullet for diabetes blood sugar medicine! My daily numbers have all dropped down to double digits. My A1C has improved by more than a whole point. It's magnificent! If you're not going to research berberine then you need to know you're not supposed to take it beyond 6 months. So every 6 weeks I take a 1 week break so I'll be able to take over the long haul. (Another option that was suggested is take it Mon-Fri and take the weekends off. I'm going to switch to this option when I get ready to start up again). If you do research it and they tell you it's comparable to metformin. No it's not! Not one bit! First of all metformin never did anything but give me the runs. 2nd is berberine actually works very well with no side effects. Luma Nutrition is the best. 1,200 mg 1 time a day and you're done! I always take it with dinner. (About 20-30 minutes before I eat) It has worked wonders on my numbers! The very first night I took it - I skipped my insulin 70 units - and when I took my 1st reading it was 83! Without the insulin! Before with insulin my numbers were up to 160 or so to 200+! Now I'm not recommending you to skip your insulin if you have a bedtime insulin. I always skip a night or two here and there. sadly to make it last longer. But that's just me and my choice! YOU need to MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE! Be very careful and find out what works best for you. I still took my night insulin if my number was a little high before bed. But I'd only need 40 units at most. But I worked my way down to that little by little. I told my doc everything and showed him my numbers and what I've managed with my insulin and he was really happy and approved me doing it. I did ask for SOME insulin just incase I needed it. When I say a little high before bed I mean like 120-130 at most. I don't take insulin when my number is in double digits. It's scary and very dangerous to crash while you're asleep. And that happened to me a few times. And you must know I haven't changed 1 single thing in my diet or exercise (which was none) at all. NOTHING! I can only imagine what I could do with a couple of tweaks. I'll get there when I'm ready cuz those are 2 new impacts on blood sugar and something else I'd need to work out. Y'all see what I'm saying? This is the real deal tho! Just be careful with it. Good luck everybody! Stay safe!

Not sure if these are doing too much , haven’t noticed weight loss. It’s only been a couple weeks of use. I might have a little less of cravings. They do taste absolutely terrible though so if you gag easy , you might want to skip these. I have never taken a capsule that taste bad until I’ve taken these. I’ve been taking on an empty stomach and no adverse reactions.

Love this item. Won’t stop using it. It helped me loose 10 lbs combined with other efforts.

Got exactly what I ordered and it came when it was supposed to arrive. I have friends that highly recommend this product and this brand particularly. Took my first dose today and can’t wait to see the results.

I'll try to make this short. The pills are easy to take, no taste. For me, that was the only good...No flu, covid, or worse hangover of my life made as violently ill as these pills did. 5 hours after taking 1 pill 30 mins before dinner, and I was extremely nauseous and vomiting every 15 mins for 3 hours straight. Sickness continued throughout the next 2 days as well as other issues that would send one running to the bathroom. Do I know it was the pills? Yes. Because like a dummy, it happened to me twice (the first time I thought one of my kids passed along a stomach bug). Best advice is to ask your doctor how they feel about this supplement!

This was recommended to me by a friend. So far, I can't feel any difference. However, I have been only taking them for a week. Can't really say one way or the other. I will continue to take them however, because my friend is a scientist.
