Lowers cholesterol
Berberine uses various tactics to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. It prevents the body from absorbing some of the cholesterol in food, helps clear excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, and regulates the liver’s natural production of cholesterol. Studies show that supplementing with berberine can lower LDL cholesterol levels by meaningful amounts—enough to drop the risk of major heart-related issues by at least 22 percent in people with high cholesterol.
