Toniiq Ultra High Strength Berberine HCl 500mg from The Himalayas - Berberine Supplement - 97% Tested Purity Extract - Wild Harvested - Concentrated Berberine 500mg Supplements -90 Veggie Capsules

Why did you pick this product vs others?:So I’ve almost finished first bottle and I’m about to reorder because this stuff curbs my appetite so well. I was taking them with every meal to begin with but can now take it once or twice a day for the same effect. I always take it immediately before eating to avoid nausea.

If you have a sensitive stomach I highly recommend that you DO NOT take this! Toniiq berberine is probably one of the best out there. 1st day I took it as directed. Tho I decided to skip my Lantus (70 units at bedtime) which I do every once in a while to give myself a break. Anyway. The next day my 1st reading was 83! Without insulin! Normally my 1st readings are 160-200+ WITH insulin! (They call it sunrise surprise) so this stuff really works! So I can tell you it worked great for me. My problem is that I have a sensitive stomach and it absolutely Tore. Me. Up! Severe heartburn and nausea. I was up all night with it. Next day I only take 2 - that night I was up all night again. Next day I only took 1. At least I could lay down to sleep finally. In my misery I forgot to check my #s. I was just too miserable. I regret that now. I was all attracted to the 97% purity and the 82 times more than something (powder?) that I can't remember. What I was taking was working just great! It brought my #s down significantly. Almost every single one was less than 100. There were no side effects at all. LumaNutrition 1200 mg. I'm going back to that tonight. I talked with the folks at Toniiq and they are giving me my money back and they were really nice. I will tell you that she said my reaction was not typical. 3 days later tho and I still have a touch of nausea and heartburn. So. Can't say I didn't warn you! Anyway the main take away is that berberine is the real deal. The research is just plain wrong to me. They (the research) say it's like metformin. Oh no it's not! It is sooooooo much better than metformin! And also the research, for the most part, doesn't tell you that you're not supposed to take it beyond 6 months. So I've been taking it about 6 1/2 weeks now and after my blood draw on Wed I am going to stop and take a 3 week break. That way I can keep taking it over the long haul. So sensitive stomach people I recommend LumaNutrition 1200 mg. For the rest of you who have normal or strong stomachs I recommend the Toniiq 500 mgs 3 times a day. ALL OF YOU MUST TAKE THIS WITH FOOD! It's an absolute must! 💯Sept 4th update: A1C: 7.6 down to 6.3! (Sorry I'm a little late with the update) but man I'll take 6.3 all day long! I know "technically" it's still high but "technically" I'm happier than a bear eating salmon! I mean really! Come on! 5.6 or lower? For someone with diabetes that just seems impossible. IDK with the way things are going - a little tweak here and a little tweak there I just might make it with the help of berberine. Bottom line? You don't need all those fancy shamsy supplements. With this and that in it that costs you $50 and only has a titch of berberine? But if you pulled my hair and threatened to put toothpicks in my eyes and forced me to say - I would say at most maybe get a berberine/ceylon cinnamon one. It must be ceylon cinnamon. You do the research cassia v ceylon. And you want minimum 1,500 mgs. Oh and about the food part I was meaning the toniiq. I don't think I was paying attention to what I ate before I took it and vice versa. But either way I'm sticking to my Luma Nutrition. (1200 mg) good luck y'all!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I like the brand and the price.

Definitely effective with lowering blood sugar and helping with weight loss but did nothing for my digestion. Overall, I was using it for sugar levels and I got what I wanted from it.

This stuff is amazing! I’ve been losing weight consistently since starting it. I had a little bit of stomach discomfort and bloating the first week, but I started taking fiber as well and it really helped. Pills are easy to swallow and don’t have any weird aftertaste. I will definitely keep repurchasing!

I purchased because thought it would help my issue but the opposite occurred. I got bad stomach aches had to stop taking it.

Given that Berberine is an important health supplement, this brand seems to be high quality and good potency.

This is my first month trying Berburine, was reading about it hearing about it in podcasts. Not sure if it’s placebo effect but my appetite has decreased and my husbands too!
