Review: This has been working for me! - This review is 10 years late. I purchased these in 2017 and took them and had all kinds of stomach issues so I stopped taking them and sat them on my desk. I’ve taken multiple types of so called Berberine pills from other brands and have been disappointed and seen no results. In fact I’m currently taking a liquid version thinking that liquid would be better quality…it hasn’t done anything my glucose has still been high. Fast forward to a video on YouTube about Berberine and the yellow root and how it can help with glucose management and then I remembered that these Swanson Berberine pills are actually the only ones that were bright yellow. So I started taking my Swanson Berberine that expired in 2025. And what do you know little by little my glucose has been getting under control, yes I cleaned up my eating slightly but not really that much. I just ordered another bottle and compared the labels and ingredients and they match (old bottle to new bottle). When I started again I had the same stomach issues, similar to when taking metformin but that seems to have subsided .
Review: Berberine anti-viral, anti-bacterial, blood sugar balancing, weight loss, liver de-fatting, I'm impressed! - Cheap price didn't mean that it was any less effective. I was taking this for observational reason. I work in the nutrition industry and thus help many people with various health needs. I went for nearly a year with some type of bacterial or viral issue that the medical approach seemed baffled over and couldn't help. So using my past knowledge of natural medicine I included Berberine as one of the tools to combat my mystery symptoms which involved terribly lung issues as well as constant fatigue and low energy. Berberine is well known for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral properties. While taking the berberine I also noticed more stable blood sugar as well as a leaning out effect, in other words my body fat levels decreased. That was proof positive that this Berberine supplement was effective as advertised since those are some of the noted benefits of Berberine. I did also however notice a significant decrease in muscle mass as well towards the end of my cycle with Berberine. I was also at the maximum dose of 3 capsules per day at that point. In my adult life I've never been that low on muscle mass so without a doubt it was the Berberine having that effect. It's been noted by researchers that most likely that muscle reducing effect of Berberine can be offset by doing resistance training to prevent the muscle atrophy from happening. It was shortly after I noticed the significant decrease in muscle mass that I discontinued using Berberine so I can't say whether doing some resistance training would prevent the loss in muscle but it seems logical that it should work. Anyhow, the point is that I clearly responded in classic fashion to this Berberine as noted by established clinical studies and thus I must conclude that this Swanson brand despite being very affordable is also very effect and performs well. Whether you are looking for the anti-viral, antibacterial effect, the weight loss effect, the blood sugar balancing effect, the liver de-fatting effect, based on what I experienced I believe this supplement is effective! Please always seek proper medical supervision when taking a supplement like this. **Oh btw, I have recovered to a great degree from the terrible state I was in. Berberine may have played a part in that recovery!**

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone please post the ingredients, thanks!**
A: The product: Berberine, by Swanson Vitamins has only the berberine root in it. Check Swanson Vitamins web page for this product also. But I would not take berberine. And as I said in another review for berberine by another company: "Before anyone takes berberine they should know that it can cause DNA damage, which can cause abnormal growth of cells in the pancreas which may grow into the ducts and cause pancreatitis or turn into precancerous tumors over a long period of time. Mainstream research has also found that berberine has a significant impact on the liver and can prevent the proper elimination of drugs because of preventing several important enzymes (P450 cytochomes) that the body uses to eliminate them. These drugs will then build up to toxic levels...It has also been observed that berberine will reduce muscle mass and one has to lift weights in order to prevent this. Do a "Google search" for: "Berberine Toxicity" for more of berberine's toxic effects."

**Q: Does anyone know the difference between this and berberine hcl?**
A: Label says 400 mg  Berberine HCL  (hcl and HCL are the same)

**Q: Are swanson products non gmo?**
A: That, my friend, would be best answered by Swanson customer service.  They are very attentive and answer fast.

**Q: Why does price say 2 for $19.99 but when I add to cart it is $23.58?**
A: Seriously, TAX.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works For Me
*by R***T on October 7, 2025*

I decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. Swanson has a good reputation so my decision was easy plus they were offering lower doseages than other brands. After about a week, I saw a change in my sugar level reading and I did not have any sensitivie issues when taking with my meals. I have will continue to use and should the changes stop, then I will discontinue.
