What to check on the label

  • Whether the figure is per capsule or per day, and how many capsules the label's daily serving contains.
  • The salt form named (berberine HCl, dihydroberberine, Ca-AKG). The catalog does not convert between forms.
  • Many labels carry interaction warnings for berberine. Read the label warning and the safety section on this page.

Amounts are per label serving as recorded in the catalog and are not a recommendation. Testing status reflects what the brand lists. Nothing here is medical advice.

Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Why this scored this way

  • Tested by independent lab (transparency 7.0).
  • Value score of 9.9 at $0.17/day.
  • Community score of 8.9 with positive consumer feedback.

What drags it down

  • No public lab certificate available for independent verification.

Why you'd choose it
