I've been researching berberine, it seems to have lots of nifty effects, including reducing cholesterol and inflammation.
Edit: Reducing cholesterol isn't the right way to say that. It helps your body metabolize lipids and whatnot, so if I remember correctly, it increases good cholesterol and reduces bad.
Berberine also helps lower blood sugar, and I’ve lost about 10 pounds as well.
Nice! Blood sugar is actually the main reason I started taking it. My A1C is too high for comfort (supposedly I'm predisposed to T2 diabetes due to gestational diabetes in one of my pregnancies), so I thought I'd give it a shot along with some improvements in my diet and see if I can keep it from going higher. Hopefully, I'll see some weight loss as well.
