Is the product the equivalent to Metformin

According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2410097/ Compared with metformin, berberine exhibited an identical effect in the regulation of glucose metabolism, such as HbA1c, FBG, PBG, fasting insulin and postprandial insulin. In the regulation of lipid metabolism, berberine activity is better than metformin. By week 13, triglycerides and total cholesterol in the berberine group had decreased and were significantly lower than in the metformin group

I tried this before I went on Metformin. It did not work for me. But Metformin took about 2 months to bring my fasting blood sugar down to normal, so maybe I should have increased the dose of the GlycoX 500 before I tried Metformin and given it a longer trial, but my blood glucose was very high-175-200, and I needed to get it down.

Yes it actually works better because it helps to lower blood pressure and triglycerides which Metformin does not. Bernerine Is natural. Meytormin is mot.

Metformin is listed as a antihyperglycemic to improve glucose tolerance in Type 2 diabetics. Berberine has the same end result via a different mechanism. In a heads up study, Berberine was found to be superior to Metformin, because it reduced Waist Circumference, Waist to Hip ratio, Triglycerides, Total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, and increased HDL (good) cholesterol. Since Metformin is derived from Chemicals (Chemically produced), and Berberine is derived from "Medicinal Herbs". The long term "Health Risks" are much lower with the GlycoX with Berberine vs Metformin. I hope you found this info helpful.

This study at NIH addresses this issue: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18442638Berberine has been found to provide blood glucose control and the study summarized it as following: "In conclusion, this pilot study indicates that berberine is a potent oral hypoglycemic agent with beneficial effects on lipid metabolism."

Yes, as far as I can tell, it is the same product. Seems to work the same way

Not sure about that product, but this is the very same stuff my vet gave me for my pug who had chronic UTIs.

They make a very similar product that does, but, not this particular one. The one with hydroquinone says so on the front label.

It's exactly the same product. The person who has developed it is a personal friend of mine. The name change was a requirement due to the name being similar to that of another product.

Absolutely not... During the "cleanse" the products you are ingesting contain sucralose (Spark, Meal Replacement Shake, Fiber drink, etc.). I had headaches, felt so exhausted that I could barely function and within a few days of stopping AdvoCare products felt completely better. I think I can take that in small amounts, but not to the degree I was exposed to through the 24 Day Challenge. You can look it up, but here is some info on Sucralose.http://www.livestrong.com/article/400192-side-effects-of-splenda-and-sucralose/I will also add that anyone telling you yes, is just out to sell you on this family of products.

My dad has 5-6 pills in the am, of various sizes. They all fit, with room to spare. Metformin is the largest. I've been very happy with the organizer. I freed me up a little to go on vacation and know that his pills were ready. He takes the day out and puts on the table in the morning.

Yes, like Lantus but with replaceable insulin cartridges. It is made of metal instead of plastic.

Yes, exactly the same. Longvida only sells to a few distibuters, and they are the only source for this stuff. Basically as long as you can find Longvida curcumin, get the cheapest you can find.

I don't know if they are the same product. Arthri-D did not provide any relief for me. JMJR

Absolutely not! If that's the intention it does not compare. That's what I used to take and it has been taken off the market. Can't find anything comparable to it.

I called the company a couple of months ago and asked the same question. If I remember correctly, they told me the bottles contain the same amount of product, both count and volume. I think that the dosage is a personal decision that you make for yourself, as it seems to me that the label dosage was lowered, perhaps as a measure to make it seem that the product will last longer. Actually, there is no real set dosage as there is no daily requirement involving the RMA+ mineral supplement. Since the label change I have been taking the same four capsules daily that I began taking last November. Nothing has changed, and the product still works just as good as it ever did! I know it appears confusing, but nothing except the label has changed, and unless you think taking a lesser dose will work just as well for you, it is really only a matter of economics and performance. What I found out that concerns me more, is that the price went up! That made me search for a better price, and I did find it substantially cheaper elsewhere on the internet! Try overstock.com!

Yes, it works exactly the same way. Most of these products are for the most part identical. The differences come done to how well they work. That is a question that only you can answer, as it depends on what you are using the product for.
