If you're a TikTok user, by now you'll likely have seen the natural supplement berberine doing the rounds on your feed. Dubbed "nature's Ozempic" for its supposed ability to aid fat loss, users have hailed the supp as a non-synthetic alternative to hotly debated Ozempic.
For those of you who haven't read up on Ozempic - otherwise known as semaglutide - yet, it's an FDA-approved weekly injection that lowers your blood sugar levels by prompting your pancreas to produce more insulin. Berberine, on the other hand, is an alkaloid extracted from various plants including European barberry and tree turmeric.
