Berberine Reaction

[LarryLove]

Started a month ago. Thought I had norovirus. I had terrible vomiting for a day and felt like shit for a couple more - sweating, fatigue, but no fever. I was taking a handful of herbs and supps at the time and discontinued all of them.

Two days ago, took 1000mg Berberine around 10am after a large meal. No other supps for weeks. 7-8 hours later I’m puking, drenched in sweat. Same feeling. Awful. Attached brand below. Anyone ever have this sort of reaction? I’ve taken Berberine infrequently in the past, not for long periods. Never had this type of reaction. Linked study of Berberine toxicity. Won’t take again. Berberine is powerful, but not fully understood. Be careful with product variation and potency.

I have always used berberine hcl plus from 7 nutrition and never had any problems. Now I will try it together with silymarin which increases its bioavailability

Toxicological Effects of Berberine and Sanguinarine

I've never had negative side effects from berberine and I was taking 3600mg a day. Could be particular to you. It does have an antimicrobial effect to which is not good for your stomach biome.
