Why Berberine isn't much discussed here?

It seems like a "panacea". It has tons of good properties, like tryglicerides, blood glucose and cholesterol reduction, increase in exercise capacity, and it is a bit anti depressant.

Any sucess history here with berberine? Which brand is the most recommended? I'll buy Swanson I think, it's very cheap.

My brother and I would definitely buy it. We normally have two a day because it's so expensive, but if you were to sell it cheap enough that it would cost no more than two a day from overpriced brands, my brother and I would certainly have three a day. (Vitacost has the 'equivalent' of 1000mg berberine, for two capsules, as 1163mg Berberine HCL)
Could you do vegetarian capsules?
Basically, so long as you can get the word out, it seems that there is every indication of a gigantic market, but I'm not a market researcher. You would benefit if consumers were more educated about buying the cheapest product that was properly made.

Yes, we do vegetarian capsules for all our products.
So right now my only issue is testing methods and reference standards. Since Sigma Aldrich discontinued their Berberine HCL standard, I am going to have to get more creative. I've got methods, but no telling how well they are going to work till we try them. I'll figure it out.
