Hi, I have about three stone to lose, although two would be nice. Reluctant to take WLI as have had issues with gallstones in past. Anyone taken berberine capsules and can tell me how they got on please? Only finding from people who are taking them with jabs. Thank you!

I never got past 2 days as it made my legs shake like mad.

I tried them for about 6 months. I think there was a mild beneficial impact in terms of wanting to snack less but I am not sure if I was looking for it iyswim. I didn’t lose any weight.

i am actually not a huge ‘food noise’/snacker though. I am an overeater at meals and a comfort eater. Berberine didn’t stop me eating big meals or eating a lot of sweet/carby food and mj did.

I took them for about 3/4 months, made no difference to me. I'm not someone who has 'food noise', so maybe it might help with that, but certainly didn't give boost any weight loss.

I tried both liquid and tablet format, made absolutely no difference to me at all, either way.

sorry I should add I tried for about 6 months, when the social media craze was going on. But nope, no difference in hunger levels for me. In fact I continued to gain.

I think that’s conclusive then, I’ll save my money! I’m better off browsing my teeth and drinking more water to stave off the snacking and comfort eating then 😆
