How beneficial is berberine in diabetes?
short by / on Wednesday, 30 April, 2025
Berberine shows clinically significant reductions in fasting glucose and HbA1c, comparable to metformin in some studies. Its mechanisms include AMPK activation and hepatic glucose inhibition, making it a compelling adjunct or alternative in Type 2 diabetes care. Taking 500 mg 2–3 times daily is common but always consult your doctor before adding it to your diabetes plan.
