Berberine is commonly dosed at 500 mg three times daily, typically taken before meals. For more severe metabolic concerns like elevated blood glucose or cholesterol, 1,000 to 2,000 mg daily may be beneficial, split twice daily.
It's best to take Berberine with meals, especially those with healthy fats, to maximize absorption and reduce digestive discomfort.
Many users benefit from cycling Berberine, such as taking it for 6-8 weeks followed by a 2-4 week break to avoid tolerance buildup, allowing for sustained effectiveness.
Remember, lasting results require consistent use over a minimum of three months. Berberine works gently over time to support your metabolic pathways.
Consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting Berberine, especially if you're on medications, as it can interact with some prescriptions.
