Berberine Benefits

Reduction In Blood Sugar

Berberine has been shown in several trials to help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar levels.  Its usefulness is similar to that of the widely used diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage).

In a sample of 116 diabetic patients, one gram of berberine a day reduced fasting blood sugar levels by 20%, from 7.0 to 5.6 mmol/L (126 to 101 mg/dL), or from diabetic to normal levels.

It also increased blood lipids, including cholesterol and triglycerides, and lowered hemoglobin A1c (a proxy for long-term blood sugar levels) by 12%. 

Besides, berberine is as effective as oral diabetes medications, including metformin and glipizide, according to a meta-analysis of 14 trials.

  • Reduce total cholesterol by 0.61 mmol/L (24 mg/dL).
  • Lower LDL cholesterol by 0.65 mmol/L (25 mg/dL).
  • Reduce triglycerides in the blood by 0.50 mmol/L (44 mg/dL).
  • Raise HDL cholesterol by 0.05 mmol/L (2 mg/dL).

It has also been shown to reduce apolipoprotein B levels by 13-15%, a significant risk factor.
