Is Berberine nature's Ozempic?

Berberine is not comparable to Ozempic in terms of weight loss. While Berberine may contribute to a small amount of weight loss, it is not as effective as Ozempic in promoting significant weight loss. However, Berberine has been well-studied for its potential benefits in metabolic health conditions such as high blood sugar, high triglycerides, high LDL cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity improvement.
