Berberine is considered to be a natural alternative to Ozempic; what you need to know.

Berberine is an understudied herbal supplement that has effects that are similar to Ozempic without the high price tag. Experts suggest this understudied supplement’s pound-shedding properties are unclear and mostly unproven.

According to a recent blog article, “Berberine is an extract from plants that has anti-inflammatory properties. It was used in ancient medicine for its antimicrobial benefits, and it might also impact metabolism.”

Ozempic has side effects such as nausea and gastrointestinal upset with a recently reported effect of malnutrition and the fact that its effects last only as long as you are willing to take the drug.   There are others as well but Ozempic costs much less in other countries and some anecdotal evidence suggests it is inexpensive to manufacture bringing the high price you pay as a consumer into question.

Berberine’s effect may actually be that it helps to decrease insulin resistance, the cause of diabetes type 2.
