The Claim
In humans diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia, oral administration of berberine hydrochloride at a dose of 0.5 grams twice daily for a duration of 3 months resulted in a reduction of triglyceride levels from an average of 2.3 mmol/L to 1.5 mmol/L.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People with high cholesterol who took a natural supplement called berberine hydrochloride, two pills a day for three months, saw their blood fat levels (triglycerides) drop significantly—from pretty high to much lower.
