The first URL to healthline mentions the comparison to three drugs.
That is one of those non-technical, non-critical articles that tends to overstate benefits while ignoring negative results.
Like I say, I take berberine every day, have for over a year with multiple brands, and the effects on me are much more modest than you’d expect from that article. And no effect on body weight or other parameters. Those kind of results need to be replicated in several well-controlled studies with neutral researchers.
