Berberine is a substance found in a variety of plants, including goldenseal, barberry, and Oregon grape. It’s being studied for its effects on diabetes and risk factors for heart disease, and it has become popular as a potential weight-loss aid.
Some studies suggest that berberine might help people lose weight, but the evidence is not conclusive. Additional, high-quality research would be needed to allow definite conclusions to be reached about whether berberine is helpful for weight loss.
