I am on blood pressure med. and keep reading that taking Berberine can alter things.


Anyone taking other meds AND Berberine? Any side effects?

None whatsoever. I take Berberine with Glimepiride for BG and Lisinopril for BP.

Thanks guys. I wouldn't take an inferior product. I trust Andrew Lessman on HSN. His products are of high quality and I take his brand for most of the supplements I take now.

Any other comments?

I go with actual reviews. This is what I've been taking and it works well. Price and quality are very good.

Lessman's product is here. Almost 3x as much and 1/3 the strength. No thanks.

On the contrary, I have never become ill from any supplements I take, so I will continue to "take my chances."

And by the way, my doc is on board with the berberine.
So why would the FDA allow meds from overseas but we can't by Canadian(cheaper)meds? Just sayin. Peace

What do you mean ..."Can't buy Canadian meds...". I have an order on shipment right now from Cananda. Janumet.

I started taking Berberine 1000mg to 1500 a day and have seen a dramatic decrease in my am fasting readings. I was pleasantly surprised.
