Berberine, the latest TikTok weight-loss trend, may be too good to be true.
, agrees that claims about berberine’s weight-loss properties are hyperbolic. “It’s not terrible, it’s not nothing, but it’s not a lot,” she says.Assuming the individual is using high-quality supplements, Sharp says, berberine’s “safety profile on paper is quite good.” Its side effects are largely gastrointestinal, she says, as is the case with Ozempic — think bloating, cramps, and nausea.
That doesn’t mean you should go buck wild. Dr. Salas-Whalen cautions against taking “large amounts of doses” just to see results. It’s also important to be mindful that supplements can negatively interact with other medications; for instance, the reports that taking the diabetes drug Metformin with berberine can potentially lead to hypoglycemia. People considering berberine should consult with a dietician or doctor about which supplements are high quality and to determine the appropriate dosage.is, there’s no miracle supplement that can achieve the same results, so be skeptical of claims to the contrary. “At this point, nothing is able to really compete with this powerful pharmaceutical that is Ozempic,” says Sharp.
