"I recently started using NOW Supplements' Berberine Glucose Support combined with MCT Oil, specifically for its potential benefits in supporting my running performance. Although I cannot conclusively determine its effectiveness without longer use, I am optimistic about the potential advantages this supplement might offer.

Berberine is a natural compound found in plants, and research has suggested that it may help regulate glucose metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity. A study conducted by Yin et al. (2008) indicated that berberine may effectively lower blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Although this study does not directly examine the effects of berberine on running performance, the potential improvement in glucose metabolism could be beneficial for endurance athletes.

Additionally, the inclusion of MCT oil in this supplement is noteworthy, as MCT oil has been shown to provide a quick source of energy and may even aid in fat burning. A study by Clegg (2010) found that MCT oil can potentially improve exercise performance by providing an alternative energy source for the body during endurance activities.

As a runner, these findings intrigued me, and I decided to give this a try. While I have been taking the supplement consistently for a few weeks now, it is important to note that longer use is necessary to fully evaluate its effectiveness on my running performance.

The 90 softgel bottle makes it convenient to incorporate into my daily routine, and I have not experienced any adverse side effects thus far. I am eager to see how the supplement may impact my running performance in the long run, as the combination of berberine and MCT oil shows promise based on the available research.

In conclusion, while I cannot definitively confirm the effectiveness of supplement on my running performance without longer use, the existing research on berberine and MCT oil suggests potential benefits for endurance athletes. If you're a runner looking to explore new supplements to support your training, this product might be worth considering. However, it's essential to keep in mind that individual results may vary, and more extended use is necessary to fully evaluate its impact."

"The bottle does contain 90 softgels but the berberine content is 350 mg not 400 mg.

The capsules may be large but they are easy to swallow and there is no flavor.

It says to take one Soft gel with meal three times a day. However, I would recommend that you take one capsule with a meal and then wait for a full day to see if you have any side effects from the berberine. Even if you have no side effects you may want to stick with one per day for a few days and then gradually work up to a higher dosage if you desire to do so. If you look up side effects of berberine you will find that there are a few. After taking one with lunch and then one with dinner I did experience some dizziness that went away the next day. I am trying one capsule a day and see if there are any noticeable side effects at that dosage. My wife did not have any trouble with dizziness so your results maybe different than others. I do believe the product must be well absorbed so it may be best that the milligrams is 350 instead of 400. They do need to change the information to reflect the actual product they send out though. I took one capsule last night at 8:30 p.m. and it is now 10:30 a.m. the next day and I have not noticed any dizziness. I am glad as I would really like to be able to continue taking this product.

Update
After taking the rest of the bottle I did not have any more trouble with dizziness."

"I took this for 6 weeks and went and saw my primary care physician. My blood pressure was the lowest it had been in 15 years."
