As mentioned in the video, women with PCOS have a problem with proper insulin signaling which results in too much insulin being secreted (which causes a myriad of problems in the body). Berberine improves insulin signal transduction by stimulating glucose intake via the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.  By doing so, it reduces glucose and insulin.

The effects of berberine have been compared to metformin in women with PCOS. In a study, 89 women with PCOS were selected to receive either berberine (500 mg, 3 times daily), metformin (500mg, 3 times daily), or a placebo for 3 months. (1)

After 3 months of treatment, women who took berberine saw greater reductions in body fat loss than metformin or placebo.

Berberine lowered insulin and glucose levels similarly to metformin.

Women also saw significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol levels), and triglycerides and a significant improvement in HDL (good cholesterol levels)

Because of lower insulin total testosterone levels also went down.

Berberine users also reported much fewer side effects than when on metformin.
