Berberine improves insulin signal transduction by stimulating glucose intake via the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.&nbsp; By doing so, it reduces glucose and insulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 3\nmonths of treatment, women who took berberine saw greater reductions in body\nfat loss than metformin or placebo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berberine\nlowered insulin and glucose levels similarly to metformin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women also\nsaw significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol levels),\nand triglycerides and a significant improvement in HDL (good cholesterol\nlevels)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of lower insulin total testosterone levels also went down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berberine users also reported much fewer side effects than when on metformin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more on the fantastic benefits of Berberine, <a href=\"http:\/\/myuberdiet.com\/plan\/does-it-get-any-better-than-berberine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Click here (opens in a new tab)\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00CDK89P8\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00CDK89P8&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=myuberdiet05-20&amp;linkId=c42a43946e03f6e6b69ee4e752e2faed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"251\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/myuberdiet.com\/plan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Berberine-Amazon-Pic.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myuberdiet.com\/plan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Berberine-Amazon-Pic.png 251w, https:\/\/myuberdiet.com\/plan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Berberine-Amazon-Pic-193x300.png 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00CDK89P8\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00CDK89P8&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=myuberdiet05-20&amp;linkId=c42a43946e03f6e6b69ee4e752e2faed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Click here (opens in a new tab)\">Click here<\/a> to get your Berberine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you pair all the previous information with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Your unique 28 Day Keto Meal Plan (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/myuberdiet.com\/plan\/my-uber-ketogenic-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Your unique 28 Day Keto Meal Plan<\/a> &#8211; and our HIIT Exercise program (&#8230;and yes you can do these exercises in the comfort of your own home &amp; they are fast, quick and easy) YOU WILL Deal PCOS a FATAL Blow \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us Today&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1)Wei\nW1, Zhao H, Wang A, Sui M, Liang K, Deng H, Ma Y, Zhang Y, Zhang H, Guan Y.
