GI Sensitivity: Standard Berberine HCl can occasionally cause gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, or gas. Taking it with a meal significantly reduces these risks.
Drug Interactions: Berberine can interact with medications metabolized by the liver (CYP450 enzymes) and blood-sugar-lowering drugs (like Metformin or Insulin). Always consult a healthcare provider before use.
