Since personal training clients at my Timonium gym are constantly asking me what supplements I take, here's a quick list for you:
- Men's Multi (the lack of Iron makes it "Men's")
- Vitamins D3+K2
- Ashwaghanda
- ZMA (combo of Zinc and Magnesium)
- Berberine
What's the deal with "Berberine?"
Berberine has been scientifically proven to reduce insulin resistance (same as "increase insulin sensitivity," of course), and improve markers of type II diabetes such as fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C).
Additional evidence suggests Berberine can help:
Reduce waist circumference
Reduce waist-to-hip ratio
Lower total cholesterol
Lower triglycerides, and possibly
Increase HDL-cholesterol (the "good" one) to a small degree
So, when and how much?
The standard dose of berberine is 900-2,000mg a day with meals and divided into three to four doses.
Yes, numerous studies have shown Berberine to be as effective as the popular prescription drug, Metformin, but ...
NO - do NOT consider this to be a replacement for any medication your doctor has prescribed for you.
Personally ...
My experience is that Berberine brands are virtually the same. The best seller on Amazon and the brand I've used for years is Berberine Plus from Doctor Recommended Supplements.
Let me know how it goes for you.
