It also reduced hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a marker of long-term blood sugar control, by 12% and improved blood lipid levels such as cholesterol and <\/span>triglycerides<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many of the studies mentioned in the article used doses in the range of 1500 mg per day.<\/span><\/p>\n Berberine can interact with some medications.
