Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this THORNE berberine is generally well liked for blood sugar support, appetite control, digestion, and energy, but they also mention nausea, diarrhea, taste issues, and mixed value-for-money opinions. Some reviews say it works very well, while others feel the newer dual-action formula is less effective than the older version or is too expensive.
On Reddit, forums, and review blogs, the recurring theme is that the dual-action HCl plus phytosome design is viewed as a premium formula with better absorption, though some users prefer the old single-ingredient version and report less digestive benefit from the new one. A few independent reviews also highlight the product’s NSF certification, clean-brand reputation, and use for metabolic support, but price remains a common complaint.
- Overall sentiment: mostly positive, with strong praise for quality and blood sugar support.
- Most common negatives: GI side effects, taste, price, and formula changes.
- Best fit: people who want a premium berberine with absorption-focused design.
