My dad who had kidney disease and diabetes had to stop Metformin because it was damaging his kidneys more, so he switched to Berberine which affected not his kidneys and controlled his diabetes and reduced his cholesterol significantly.

Berberine is nature's metformin, not nature's Ozempic.

My LDL dropped from 158 to 98, total cholesterol from 213 to 152 and glucose from 105 to 94, after 3 months on 500mg Solaray Berberine, twice per day. I dropped 11 pounds, without changing diet or exercise.

Wow if anything I’m glad I watched & looked at comments, sounds like way more ‘potential’ downsides than upsides, thanks all & dr s🙌💪

After I started using Berberine my glucose went from 172 to 120 but this also includes fasting, diet and exercise regimen
