Berberine produces significant inhibition of CYP3A enzymes in humans. Because these enzymes metabolize most drugs, berberine may decrease the clearance of many medications thereby potentiating their effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Dose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 capsule before meals with a glass of water two to three times daily\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enzyme Science™","offers":[{"title":"60 count","offer_id":54156017336603,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 count","offer_id":54156017369371,"sku":null,"price":56.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4485\/8139\/files\/FRONT_EZM_Berberine_60ct_Bottle_1.webp?v=1791441828","url":"https:\/\/shop.hasanmirzamd.com\/products\/enzyme-science-berberine","provider":"Hasan Mirza, MD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
