Berberine helps diabetics
A study published in the US National Library of Medicine in the National Institutes of Health in August 1981 found that berberine helps to lower blood glucose levels.
Another study from the same source published in February 2019 found that berberine has positive effects on glucose-lipid metabolism, inflammatory factors and insulin resistance in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Effects of berberine on cholesterol and blood pressure
There is good evidence that berberine can help lower high levels of LDL, total cholesterol and blood pressure.
The same study mentioned above about berberine and glucose control, published in the journal Metabolism in May 2008, found that berberine reduced serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in type 2 diabetics.
Berberine supports heart health
Berberine has a positive effect on heart health. This is probably due to its ability to help keep blood glucose levels and obesity under control... thus mitigating the risk of coronary heart disease.
Berberine helps weight loss
Berberine can have a moderate effect on weight loss.
AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) is an enzyme inside human cells that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. Thus, it is often called a 'metabolic master switch'.
Berberine can help manage SIBO
People who suffer from SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) have excessive bacteria in their small intestines. The condition is usually treated with oral antibiotics but not always successfully.
Potential benefits of berberine
The potential benefits of berberine refer to benefits for which there is some clinical evidence but that evidence is either not strong enough or otherwise not sufficient to prove a particular benefit.
