HUM Best of Berberine Supplement 1200mg, Metabolic & Gut Health, 60 Count

I decided to try this brand of Berberine because of its TrustScore in my SuppCo app, which carefully and scientifically tests and reviews supplements. I had been taking another Berberine supplement since February of this year in an effort to support my weight loss journey and lower my cholesterol. I had read that Berberine would help curb cravings and appetite and possible help reduce cholesterol and mine was quite high. I can't say it curbs appetite all that much, but it does seem to help with sugar cravings. I take it in the morning with breakfast. I noticed a significant improvement when I switched to this brand over the one I had been taking. No upset stomach, I'm pretty sensitive to things in general. Good energy, much better appetite control and the quality is far superior to the one I was taking before. It's a little more expensive, but to me worth the slightly higher price due to better absorption and noticeable effects. I have lost 50 lbs and my high cholesterol levels are now all within normal limits (although I was also put on a low dose statin for 8 months this year, which I have been able to stop as my cardiologist was shocked by the significant reduction in my cholesterol levels). I've wondered if the Berberine worked with the statin to help rapidly reduce my cholesterol levels although losing 50 lbs most certainly contributed as well. I think this brand is far superior to others I've tried.

I have tried a few different berberine supplements and HUM brand is the only one that has helped me lose weight. It is not a rapid weight loss but a slow and steady one, which is much better than being stuck for close to a year with the scale going up and down a pound. I'm a 65-year-old woman and was looking to lose 5-7 lbs. I'm down 2 at 1/2 lb. a week so 5 more to go! I continue to eat healthy and work out. HUM berberine has helped get the scale moving again. I recommend it for helping to lose weight. Slow and steady wins the race!

It works for me! I have been taking this for three or four weeks. The first couple of weeks I noticed very little appetite control and no weight loss. But suddenly this last week I noticed I was eating way less and lost 5 pounds! So far I love it. I’ve had no side effects with this and will continue to take it. It’s the first thing that has ever worked for me. Update: After a couple more weeks of taking this I noticed a moderate degree of stomach upset. It was enough that I decided to test it, hoping it wasn’t these pills because they do seem to work. I quit taking them for a couple days and my stomach was better. Then I took one pill instead of two and within a half hour the stomach upset was back. So unfortunately I will have to stop taking them.

Ok,but did not work for me.I was more hungry than before.

Update: I decided to take 1 pill to see if my tummy could tolerate...so far...in last few days no belly aches and i can tell my cravings are gone and can slowly feel it working with less bloat amd hunger thoughts. I will keep doing 1 for a few weeks amd then see if I can go back tp 2. Will keep ya posted! This is the 3rd type berberine I have tried. One of them i had zero side effects but is spendy so wanted to try this one. I have been taking for a week and feel lighter in the gut but the stomach ache side effects are brutal. About an hour after I take with a meal, my stomach hurts so bad I can't function. I want to keep taking but can't with the stomach aches.

It's Amazing, reading others reviews makes me think they're not taking it every day as you should or eating with it as you should! I Have taken it on and off consistently for 1 year with 2 week breaks every 3 months ir so. I immediately had results and weightloss within a month, I lost 40 lbs which I have have not been able to lose no matter what I did for years! It can lower blood sugar, that's what it does, if you get a headache that just means you need to eat something and it goes away. I've maybe had a low blood sugar headache only twice In 1 year. In the beginning urination is more frequent as well. 0 other side effects. You have to take it everyday around noon with a food and consistently for it to work! The only "pill" I've every stuck to taking daily because its soo amazing. Also, stops inflammation and benefits every single body system!! Also, love the fact that this is a clean product.

After reading the reviews, most of which were positive, and reading the instructions on how to take these supplements - 2 capsules daily with food, I ordered a bottle. For 3 days I took 2 daily with food, typically around 11am, but I also combined them with 2 of the Flatter Me capsules, as HUMs website and countless websites said that was safe. We'll after 3 days of doing this, on day 3 I took it a little bit later and also not at the same time as the Flatter Me, probably around 1pm that day, and by 10:30pm, I was awakened to uncontrollable shaking, followed by a headache, out of nowhere! I went online to do some research and found that taking Belberine at that high a dose, 1200mg a day, could cause a severe drop in blood sugar levels, causing a hypoglycemia attack in some people! I'm only writing this review to alert some people may have this same reaction, it was terrifying, lasted a good half an hour before I found an article saying drinking 4oz of oj or other fruit juice could help balance you out. If I had known about this possible side effect, I would've not taken the full dose at least.

This is the only thing I changed as far as controlling my cholesterol. My numbers went from 219 to 203 in six months I use berberine faithfully.
