Berberine HCl 500 mg

• 500 mg capsules
• HCl form
• 90–300 count

Why you’d want it: Popular enough that people ask about it by name, so it is here with the honest label: a plant extract, sold as a supplement.

Picking tip: This is the one on the page most worth a pharmacist conversation before you start: it interacts with a long list of medicines, including several for blood sugar and blood pressure. It is hard on the stomach for some people, so take it with food and start with one capsule. Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.
