I’ve been taking it for about 2 years based on my doctor’s recommendation. I don’t have any specific health concerns, but I recently took a CRP blood test which measures General inflammation in the body and it was very low, which is great. Mr doc said that for optimal results, berberine should be taken along with vitamin k, I take the triple K vitamins. But I really can’t tell if berberine is effective or not because I’m only taking it as a preventative.
