Surprising twist: a randomized trial found berberine didn't reduce belly or liver fat in obesity with fatty liver disease—despite its supplement hype. The placebo did just as well. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/7XEVAX
Very strong evidence
Multiple randomized or controlled trials back these claims.
Berberine supplement didn't reduce belly or liver fat in a trial of people with obesity and fatty liver disease.
This conclusion comes directly from a randomized trial, a strong study design. The study found that berberine didn't reduce belly fat or liver fat any more than a placebo did in people with obesity and MASLD. Keep in mind, this is just one study, and it was done in a specific group of people. So it's not the final word for everyone, but it's solid evidence for this population.
If you have obesity and fatty liver disease, this one trial suggests berberine probably won't help shrink your belly or liver fat.
