Berberine is a compound that comes from various plants and is often used to treat diabetes.

Berberine acts similarly to several other life extending molecules like Metformin and Rapamycin.

It causes the reduction of Reactive oxidation Species, less energy production, maintains healthy blood sugar levels and essentially promotes overall health while reducing your disease risk.

These effects seem to allow berberine to help people live longer, happier and healthier lives.

Berberine has been proven to extend lifespan in yeast and mice, but this phenomenon doesn’t seem to have been proven in clinical trials in humans yet.

In terms of side effects, Berberine can interact with other medications you might be taking, and it can also cause headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, constipation and diarrhoea.

Berberine also lowers blood sugar, so if you are taking insulin or fasting, Berberine can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, causing hypoglycaemia!
