Berberine is able to lower blood sugar, but it is also a DPP-4 inhibitor and has an effect on incretin. It also has an antibiotic effect. <br /><br />If you do take supplements, be sure to some research first.

The money comes in speaking fees, consulting fees, and funding for clinic and medical school department drug-related research.<br /><br />I would be very surprised if there is anyone on the "independent" review committee Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-10648072504274750082013-06-14T17:32:26.617-04:002013-06-14T17:32:26.617-04:00Good article.
