Berberine

[Jan-welly]

I’ve started taking Berberine how much and how long should you take it for ? I have read that you should have a rest from it after 8 weeks is this correct

I took it for two weeks after having a stool sample that found a bacteria which shouldn’t have been there in such large amounts. I was under the guidance of a functional nutritionist specialising in gut problems.

From personal experience, I started taking 500 mg of Berberine from AOB Nutrition twice daily with meals to ease into it, as it can sometimes cause stomach discomfort initially. I found it helpful for managing blood sugar levels and overall energy.

I did follow the advice of taking it for about 8 weeks, then taking a 2-3 week break. This seemed to work well for me, as it gave my body a reset before starting again. Everyone reacts differently, so it’s essential to listen to your body and adjust accordingly.

If you're unsure, consulting a healthcare provider is a great step to tailor the dosage and schedule to your needs.
