SOLARAY Berberine Phytosome - 9X Absorption and Easy-to-Digest - Standardized to 30% Berberine HCl - Vegan, Made Without Soy - 60-Day Guarantee - 30 Servings, 30 VegCaps

I was in need of a digestive enzyme or supplement. The one I was taking was great but just too expensive. I came across this one. And solaray is an amazing brand that's been around for years and has other high quality supplements. The bottle does say take before you eat which is kind of a pain in the butt but I've been taking this for a while now and if you take it during the meal or even after or works just as good. It's easy to swallow. I've even opened up the capsules and put them in water or my smoothie. Does a great job of getting rid of digestive bloating, stomach pain and just improving all over digestion. I particularly like this one because of the variety of ingredients. Many of digestive enzymes just have one main ingredient. This one is combining several for just heavy hitting. And with 180 capsules inside for the price it's 100% worth it. Okay I travel with these everywhere I go. As with any supplement just make sure you're always staying fully hydrated to help for maximum absorption but also improve digestion.

Did you know that sometimes GERD is caused by low levels of stomach acid? Your esophagus fails to close if the level of acidity in your stomach falls too low. I had GERD for over 10 years. It was the side effect of a medication I was on. My internist mistakenly thought my stomach acid was too high and put me on proton pump inhibitors. Which pretty much guaranteed that I would have GERD forever. Luckily I have a new doctor. She correctly diagnosed me with low stomach acid, not high stomach acid. So first I tried one of these capsules with every meal , things improved but the problems didn't go away. Then my doctor said double it up. That did the trick. In less than a week, the results were obvious. My GERD was greatly improved. My gas went away, along with bloating, and the gut cramps. Within six weeks, I was able to try skipping the HCl and the digestive enzymes, without experiencing relapse. Now the reason why I was producing so little stomach acid was because my digestion was broken. In order to heal your digestion , you need to support it using HCl and digestive enzymes. You will probably need more digestive enzymes than the ones contained in this product but there are many excellent ones on the market. In order to heal the gut, you need to support it with glutamine . Glutamine is an amino acid that is used by the gut for energy, and it is required for essential function. It is also used to produce glutathione . Glutathione is the master enzyme that regenerates all of your other antioxidant enzymes . Periods of high stress can strip all of the glutathione in your body. Finally glutamine is also required to produce GABA . Fluctuating levels of GABA in your brain can alter your mood drastically. It's best not to exceed the recommended dose of glutamine in order to prevent this. During periods of trauma or broken digestion or high stress your daily need for glutamine will exceed any normal diet. Therefore doctors will recommend 2 to 3 g of glutamine taken on an empty stomach. Collagen : collagen is required for gut function. In order to heal the gut you need to supplement with collagen. You can do this by drinking bone broth or by taking a powdered collagen supplement. Vitamins. You need all your vitamins and minerals in order in order to heal. This is actually a very complicated topic because many vitamins will block absorption of other vitamins and minerals . Or they can only be absorbed in very precise ratios. But it's safe to say, that centrum or One-A-Day are lousy vitamins. It's mostly because they're not very bioavailable. In order to find a good bioavailable multivitamin you will need to do a lot of research . I would normally recommend Hardy.'s Essential Nutrients except it's such an expensive brand. Vitamin C is required for healing collagen . I was supplementing with 4 to 6 g when I noticed my collagen was healing at an accelerated rate. Make sure you get bioavailable versions of magnesium and zinc supplements. Saccharomyces boulardii: is good if you have some kind of gut trauma. The Saccharomyces actually fights gut inflammation. Bob's Red Mill unmodified potato starch: is resistant starch. Resistant starches are not digested by the gut , instead they are digested by your helpful probiotics. The body doesn't absorb the resistance starch therefore it does not raise glucose levels. Some of the byproducts of the resistance starch help feed the gut as well as feeding your good probiotics. Potato starch is the most concentrated source of resistance starch that you can use. The therapeutic dose is 1 tablespoon taken up to three times per day. Start with 1 teaspoon if you're not used to this stuff. Fiber: it was an eye-opening revelation to me, the difference in fiber quality . It turns out one of the key characteristics of fiber quality is the length of the fiber. Shorter fiber unfortunately feeds some of the bad inhabitants of your gut as well as the more helpful probiotics. Longer fiber feeds your helpful probiotics while starving the parasites. PGX is a trademark form of glucomannan which is extracted from the Konjac root. PGX has undergone a special form of processing which preserves the length of the fiber. I went from Metamucil , to glucomannan , to PGX . And as I upgraded from bad to best, my diarrhea went from relentless to gone. Protein synthesis: healing is by definition the production of new materials to replace that which is broken or gone. Therefore you need to initiate the production of new proteins . To do this you must eat 30 g of proteins in one meal. For example that would be five large eggs. It's an unfortunate amount of food, but nutritionists recommend for anyone trying to heal from a major trauma or medical condition, that you need to eat 30 g of protein three times a day for maximum healing. I find it difficult to do more than 30 g per day , and ended up rearranging my protein intake so that I would eat it all in one meal. But if you want your gut to heal quickly, you really do need to initiate protein synthesis so that you can start replacing some of your missing body functions. Good luck and good health!

First, unlike most of the other eye supplements we came across in our recent search, these are regular capsules, and a bit smaller than standard size, so very easy to swallow. We first ordered a brand that, like many others, were plump, round-ish gel caps that got stuck in our throats. After two days of taking them and having them lodged in our throats, we tossed them and started searching for an alternative. So happy we found these Solaray capsules. Also unlike some other brands, these can be taken any time -- just once a day -- with our without food. The brand we tried previously required that two throat-clogging capsules be taken daily, 20-30 minutes before a meal. Even if they hadn't been a choking hazard, fussing with the timing around meals would have been an annoyance, and an opportunity to forget to take them. The Solaray capsules haven't caused any stomach issues or any other side effects, and though it's too soon to gauge their effectiveness, we'll continue to order them. After much research, it seems that finding quality eye supplements in a small, easy-to-swallow capsule as opposed to a larger gel cap is rare. So these are a find, and the ingredients were approved by our eye doctor. Not cheap, but when it comes to eye health, a supplement that's easy to take and has quality ingredients is well worth the investment.

I get this item all of time. It works as it should. I’ve never had a problem with it.

I was taking another brand but this one seems to be easier for my digestion to tolerate. I think it might actually be more effective, but there is no real way to prove this. I would give it 5 stars except it is so much more expensive than a lot of other berberines, but I'm not sure they were doing anything so ultimately this might be cheaper because it is actually working? who knows.

Worked better than metformin. Insulin resistance is different in people with pcos and this worked a lot faster, I confirmed with my Dexcom. My only regret was not knowing about it sooner.

Helps digest, reduces gastric flatulence

I have been using Solaray vitamins for years at this point, this specific vitamin (Glucosamine) is what got me hooked on the quality and assurance I can have towards their product. I had terrible knees at a young age due to abusing them, i began taking this consistently (at a lower dosage than recommended / 1 per day) and within the first 3-6 months i noticed change toward the good. After about a year I noticed almost all pain gone. Years later I added some muscle training to legs and I have 0 knee issues at all when prior I believed I would need surgery!

Gave this a shot didn’t notice any difference maybe it’ll work on you

First time buying this brand. Easy to swallow but notice quite a lot of capsules broken in the container .

Super capsule for digestive issues, but don't know the side effects.
