Berberine has many positive effects on the body, but has largely been used to help manage blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Because of its ability to improve glucose uptake and regulate energy metabolism, it is also used as an aid in weight management and body fat reduction. Berberine can also help lower cholesterol by stopping an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. When this enzyme is blocked, less cholesterol is produced. Research has shown that berberine can reduce total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL (“good”) levels.
