Berberine Supplement Gummies 2000 mg with Ceylon Cinnamon, 60 Count | Berberine HCl Complex with Magnesium, Chromium, Turmeric & Black Pepper, Peach Flavor, Vegan, Gluten-Free

Great supplement with lots of Berberine (tells your body to burn fat, for a change) and the co-factors needed to make it effective (pepper, chromium, magnesium), all in a sweet-tasting gummy that contains no sugar--and no artificial sugars. (How they managed it, I my never know. I scoured the label looking for the artificial ugh's that typically accompany an ingestible "sugar free" substance, but never found one. So, cool!) It took a while to figure out how to use it, but once I did it began making a real difference. The two major benefits: Resumption of fat burning, and no more chilled-to-the-bone midnight wakeups. I had lost 45 lbs when I wrote The Secret Science to Weight Loss, and continued on down for a while, from 250 down to 175. Intermittent Fasting was a big part of my weight loss strategy. But after getting down to nearly my college athletics weight, I began slowly gaining--slowly, but inexorably. A little here, a little there. After a year or so, I was back up to 217. Not as terrible as it once was. But not great, either. The culprits: Cutting my fast early in the morning because I was starving, and late night snacks I just had to have. Between them, my "fasting window" was down to maybe 8 hours--nowhere close to the 12-13 hours needed to use up insulin so fat burning can occur. The sweet taste, coupled with the GLP-1 hormone it promotes (the one that tells the body to burn fat), means that an hour or two after dinner, when I'm beginning to feel the need for a snack, one gummy gives me a sweet-like snack that tides me over until morning. (A half-glass of water with a tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar helps, too--but only because the Berberine makes it "sufficient".) So that's my "before bed" gummy. Come the morning, some people like to take it first thing. If I ate breakfast, I probably would, too. But since I have coffee or tea with butter, coconut oil, and cinnamon in the mornings, I've found it better to wait a while. The caffeine and oils give me energy without raising insulin, but there is still a tendency to get hungry before noon, when my fasting period is scheduled to end. So I use the same strategy I employ at night: When I begin to hungry, I pop a gummy. That morning gummy makes it easier to extend my fasting time. So I may not eat until 1, or 2, or 3. One day, it as 5:30. And that means fat burning can occur. I wasn't *trying* to extend my fasting period, mind you. It wasn't a matter of *willpower*. It's just that, about 20 minutes after taking the gummy, hunger left and didn't come back for several hours. But perhaps the best result is that I am no longer waking up freezing in the middle of the night, with a bone-deep chill that was virtually impossible to turn off. I've gone through one bottle, and am now ordering my second, if only for that extremely pleasant result. That sensation of waking up in a Freezer resulted from a lifetime spent ingesting American food-like substances loaded with sugar. The body got to used to it, and geared up all of its machinery to burn it. Neglecting to create any of the machinery needed to burn fat! The good news is that when I woke up freezing, I knew that any sugar in my system was gone, so my body was at least *trying* to burn fat. Maybe it could only burn a trickle, but it was something. Still, that unpleasant sensation made it uncomfortable to do the kind of fasting I *needed* to do. Because it was so uncomfortable, I began unconsciously cutting the fasting period short--which produced the gradual weight gain. Now, though, I'm a lot more comfortable at night. and I've figured out exactly how to use the gummies. Weight has stabilized, and has begun going down--not rapidly, as yet, but steadily. (Currently down to about 212. But if nothing else, the steady weight *gain* has stopped!)

These are very strong 2000mg strong My doctor is open to everything she has read up on and Berberine is something she recognizes as useful... maybe not healthy for everyone but what it is, is proven useful for many aliments. I'm almost 70 and have been eating for good health for years. I eat primarily frozen fruit and fresh vegetables. I eat 1200 calories or less 6 days a week and in that time I ingest less than 25g of added sugar a day and less than 1200mg of sodium a day. I didn't need to count calories because staying under 25g added sugar keeps me at it below the 1200 calorie goal. I added, upon my doctor's approval this Berberine supplement, only 1 gummy, once a day to my daily routine. Within a half hour, I had heart flutters and as time advanced I was experiencing missed beats. I called my doctor and she said to give it a day and then try half. The reconnected dose, she believes should be no more than 1000mg a day.... but the two gummies a day as this bottle recommended. I had the half gummy after a day pause and again within the half hour I was uncomfortable with flutters and missed beats but within 12 hours it stopped this time. So, I can't take these. I will state here that my stomach pain was reduced with my second dose of that 1/2 gummy. I really wish I could take it but I am one of the MANY people, of all ages, that experience heart issues taking it. It wasn't because of my age, many people can't handle the hormonal change that happens. They taste very good and they are not sticky in the jar. And like I said I did have no stomach pain after ingesting then and I always have terrible stomach pain and have difficulty digesting many kinds of food. My advice... take only 1 gummy the first few days. 2000mg is a very high dose. Full five star and I really wish I could have continued taking them because those 2 did reduce my stomach bloat and bad pain I have had for almost 5 years now. If I could stop eating, is be pain free. 😉🙃

The taste isn’t as bad as I was expecting. It’s actually pretty good. I have noticed a slight change in my craving for food. (For reference I crave food all the time). The texture is good and great if you prefer gummy over pills. I have had no digestion issues with these (I did with the capsules). So overall pretty good.

Seemed to lower my blood sugar blood about 20%

Although I feel this is a great product if you have never taken this supplement I highly recommend you start with a lower dose. The gummies have a great taste and they did help curve my appetite. However, they did upset my stomach slightly.

Finished a whole bottle with no noticeable results. The only result was more wasted money on products that promise to do things.

These are amazing and they taste so good!! This is my 2nd bottle and will definitely be purchasing more!

Normally dont leave reviews but IF.YOU.LIKE.PEACH.RINGS this is the supplement for YOU! literally tastes amazing and i can feel it working after finishing bottle 1! Helps me stay full longer so I can fast in the mornings! And slightly more energy. With supplements like these they usually take full effect in 3 months so FYI
