Berberine Blood GlucoseAs such, it may be beneficial to use berberine combined with statins in people with hyperlipidemia, especially for those with statin intolerance or partial intolerance, and those with diabetes or at high risk of diabetes.2Zhao Jie V. (2026)Berberine signature and cardiometabolic diseases using randomized controlled trial, cohort study and Mendelian randomization
Berberine Blood GlucoseBerberine has been recommended by the International Lipid Expert Panel and the 2019 European Atherosclerosis Society/European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the treatment of hyperlipidemia in statin-intolerant patients, however, these guidelines have not provided explicit recommendations about the use of berberine because of the lack of high-quality evidence.2Zhao Jie V. (2026)Berberine signature and cardiometabolic diseases using randomized controlled trial, cohort study and Mendelian randomization
Berberine Blood GlucoseDespite of the benefits on lipid profile and glucose metabolism, the effect of berberine on the risk of IHD and diabetes has not been clarified.2Zhao Jie V.

Berberine Blood GlucoseBackground Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is often associated with androgen excess, insulin resistance, and low-grade inflammation.3Gao L (2026)Adjunctive berberine improves hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory profiles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a retrospective case-control study.
Berberine Blood GlucoseWhile progesterone is standard for regulating menstrual cycles, additional therapies are often needed to address metabolic and inflammatory dysfunctions.3Gao L (2026)Adjunctive berberine improves hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory profiles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a retrospective case-control study.
