Can Berberine Cause Hypoglycemia?

Original post in this thread

Experienced8 · 12 points

I usually only take berberine before a carb-containing meal, however, today I took some upon waking and then ate a steak.

The whole morning I felt like I could fall asleep at any second. Brain fog. Weak muscles. Absolutely CRAVING food and sugar. Seemed like hypoglycemia.

Can this happen to someone like me who is NOT diabetic, in shape, eats clean, sleeps well?

I've just started fasting. This will likely not be an easy question to answer. I don't eat at all until 5pm when I get home from work. I then try to stick to eating between 5pm-8pm. The question is, of the supplements that you sell, do you know which are likely to break a fast? Not looking for an exhaustive list just examples.

I've wanted to take NALT and L-Phenylalanine in the morning for example. I have 20-30 of your supplements so I won't list them all. Just wondering as I just drink water throughout the day until I eat in the evening.

I spoke about it a bit here.

Carbs and proteins are the ones you want to avoid. My rule of thumb is to keep my calories under 10, and limited to calories from fat.

ND products testing positive for heavy metals

Jesus, dude... Google shit before you do stuff like this. You cannot use test strips to test for heavy metals content in supplements. They shouldn't even be used to test for heavy metals in water, or anything you are con

⚠️ NEW PRODUCTS ALERT | Resveratrol Capsules, & Supercritical C02 Coriander Capsules & Solution⚠️

Replying to Experienced8 · ND does it again! Would love to hear from the ND team how Coriander's relaxing effects compare to other common compounds like lemon balm or l-theanine.

It's much more effective, at least for me. We brought this out because we started working with a company in Europe that specialized in supercritical CO2 extracts, and they sent me a sample of some of their stuff. I start

What mood boosters ACTUALLY work out there?

It's going to depend on the person. What works best for one person might do nothing for you, or have side effects. We like to talk in generalities, but people's brain chemistries vary a lot more than most realize. So fin

It's in the capsule shell, so you can differentiate between the higher and lower doses of caffeine. Color-coding the high dose caffeine version was more of a safety consideration, so people wouldn't mix up their doses. A

L-Theanine capsules dosage too high

I don't disagree. I often find them too high for myself as well, unless I am taking a strong stimulant. This is why I more often use our 200mg caffeine/100mg L-theanine. However, that's not ideal for those that don't wan
