Berberine is a natural alkaloid found in medicinal herbs that is showing great promise in lowering insulin levels and improving insulin resistance - two critical factors influencing PCOS-related metabolic outcomes*. According to recent studies, berberine could even outperform traditional treatments in various key areas, including body fat, triglycerides and cholesterol levels, and hormonal status*.
Berberine also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may counteract chronic low-grade inflammation that often leads to joint pain and headaches*.
Why Choose Berberine Over Inositol?
Although Inositol and Berberine both show promise in addressing insulin resistance*, there are some key differences:
- Berberine may be more effective for managing weight and improving body composition*.
- Inositol is pregnancy and breastfeeding-safe, whereas berberine is not.
- Inositol can be taken long-term, whereas berberine requires breaks for sustainable use.

Can Berberine be taken with birth control?
Yes
Can it be combined with Inositol or Balance?
Yes
Can Berberine be taken long-term?
There is information out there that Berberine should be taken for no more than six months however there are no studies confirming this is the case. To be safe, we do recommend taking a month break about every 6 months still.
