I purchased a berberine supplement which also contains bergamot. My cholesterol is 264. Is this safe to take? I’m on high blood pressure meds also. Poor circulation. Sleep with a cpap. Thank you!

In reply to Jan Edwards. Hello Jan Edwards, Although cholesterol of 287 is higher than the normal range, but it is important to understand the true nature of the importance of cholesterol and this is explained in Dr Cabot’s insightful and still topical book ‘Cholesterol The Real Truth’. It is important to ensure that your cholesterol is not oxidized and to do this it is important to reduce your triglycerides as low as possible. This is achieved by reducing your sugars and carbohydrate intake to a very low level. We recommend you begin Dr Cabot’s highly acclaimed 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program. This course of action reduces your need to take either Red Yeast Rice or Guggul. Berberine is a valuable supplement to hasten the progress to healthy cholesterol which has a similar action to Metformin without its side effects. Berberine does not interact with other supplements although it is always wise to not take a number of supplements at the same time. Kind regards Victoria

Is it safe to take Berberine with Red Yeast Rice with or without Guggel? My cholesterol was 287 and triglycerides were high also. How much should I take for cholesterol? Are there any supplements that would adversely interact with Berberine? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for sharing your fantastic results.
Berberine is safe and beneficial for long term use. Diabetics and people with severe insulin resistance need to be on it for several years.
With all herbal remedies it’s good to have a break for a couple of weeks every few months and then resume.

Kind regards,

I have been taking Berberine with great results. I started in November of 2018, with an A1c of 12.6. In April, after taking 1000mg of Berberine for 5 months, my A1c was 5.5. I am wondering however, about some things I have read. Information that I have seen says that you can only take Berberine for 8 weeks and then you need to stop for 2 weeks. Is there any truth to this claim? Is there a period of time that a person needs to stop Berberine and then restart? Thank you for your help, and informative site.

Hi Lorr,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Weight loss is more difficult when Fatty Liver is present, and weight gain often accompanies Fatty Liver.

Dr Cabot has recently released her 15 Day Cleanse – Two weeks to begin your journey toward improved liver health and function, utilising both supplements and a tasty, easy to prepare dietary regimen. Please go to http://www.drcabotcleanse.com to place an order.

After completing the Cleanse, we recommend you remain on this style of eating and you can then begin the Maintenance plan that is available at the same website.

If further supplementation is necessary to boost liver health and your vitality, Dr Cabot prescribes

Livatone Plus – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily, to improve liver function.

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC 600mg) – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily well away from food, if any upset occurs take at the beginning of your meals. As you will see from the attached pamphlet this supplement works well with Livatone Plus to get your liver better faster.

Berberine – 1 cap once or twice daily which contains 500mg per capsule.

You may purchase these supplements and Dr Cabot’s books at https://shop.liverdoctor.com/

Thank you so much for this valuable information! I already take Berberine, but mostly when I eat something that worries me it may raise my blood sugar. NOW, armed with this new information, I will take if faithfully everyday. I love that I can get a very good quality Berberine supplement via Subscribe and Save on Amazon, too! Great prices! Thanks again. You all are life savers!
