- Weight loss of an average of five pounds over 12 weeks occurred with intake of 500 mg of berberine three times per day in research
- Hyperlipidemic patients given 500 mg of berberine twice daily for three months had reductions up to 35% in triglyceride levels, 29% in total cholesterol, and 25% in LDL cholesterol. Berberine is also a natural inhibitor of PCSK9 which allows for the breakdown of LDL cholesterol.
