Has anyone taken Berberine as a Metformin alternative??

Question

I was researching Metformin and came across Berberine. But there are hardly any articles on it so I’d like anyone’s feedback!

Answer

I have had irregular anovulatory cycles for 5 years since getting off the pill- like 2 periods a year. I've tried Metformin-it did nothing for me, and I wanted something more natural. about 4 months ago, I started using 2400mg Berberine (Naturebell brand- available on Amazon) along with 200mg of DIM (Smoky Mountain Naturals- also Amazon). I had one side effect- an occasional headache, which went away completely after about 2 weeks. After about 6 weeks of the combo, I got my first period in almost 8 months. I've had regular cycles every month since. While I don't know which supplement made the difference,  and I recognize that everyone is different, this combo has been my miracle. I plan on starting OPKS this month, assuming that the regular cycles continue.
