'Berberine futures' hotting up! The new bitcoin?

Great n=1 science! Does it work by lowering glucose absorption, which is what I suspect. Big impact, for sure!

Exactly, although it does seem to work through other pathways as well it seems that the largest part is due to reducing the absorption of glucose (and inhibiting intestinal disaccharidases for example)

Still - in you it's a huge effect! I presume it only lasts around 6-12 hours? Is there any known toxicology? And is Berberine to do with the Berber race/region?

Huh I never thought about that haha it seems in the internet it might, but is not necessarily related.

And yes it doesn’t last very long, but long enough for the next berberine shot 😂

100%! I’ve used vinegar, lemon and many other things but Berberine seems comparable to metformin (which I haven’t tried) and there is quite a bit of evidence for it already, but at the end of the day going on a walk also works haha
