The mention of Ozempic brings to mind an herbal supplement that has become popular recently, specifically berberine, that has been billed by some as a “natural Ozempic”.
I started taking it recently for it’s effect on blood glucose, and have found significant improvements. I am seeing readings go from borderline pre-diabetic to well into what is considered the normal range. I am marginally overweight, but far from obese.
The mechanism of its action is said to be different than that of Ozempic, so that is a caveat.
Also, clinical studies of berberine are limited since drug companies are notoriously uninterested in unprofitable natural treatments.
I understand there are commercially available berberine supplements that contain less (or even much less) than the advertised amount of the active ingredient, so that’s a potential issue.
Any comments? Anyone else using this? Results?
I'm trying berberine, so far it doesn't seem to be doing much of anything. Still, I'd say try it yourself, your results may vary.
