Berberine

Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Probiotic and Berberine in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Probiotic

What it is: Live microorganisms, mostly bacteria, that may benefit health when taken in large enough amounts. They work mainly in the gut.

What the research says: Effects depend on the specific strain, and many probiotic products haven't been studied.

Cautions

  • Probiotics have a long record of safe use; healthy people may get some gas.
  • They may not be safe for people who are seriously ill or have a weakened immune system.

Berberine

What it is: A compound from plants such as barberry and goldenseal, used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

What the research says: It may lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar, but the effect may be small and lifestyle changes are still needed.

Cautions

  • Mild side effects can include appetite loss, upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation and rash.
  • Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding: it may harm newborns.

Medicines to check

  • Immune-suppressing drugs such as tacrolimus or cyclosporin: berberine may raise their levels
  • Some diabetes drugs (sulfonylureas)
  • Many prescription drugs processed by the liver: berberine may make them less effective
  • Bosutinib (a cancer drug)
