I have PCOS and tend to plateau. I’ve read that taking a berberine supplement can help with this, but you’re meant to take it with food. Does anyone have any experience fasting with berberine? Is it okay to take without food? Or generally not compatible with fasting?
I’m also looking into inositol for the same reason but was hoping to test one at a time to see what could be effective.
Thanks in advance!
you can use it to kickstart a fast when you eat your last meal, basically it will just fast-forward the first 6-8 hours of fasting in a way.
i wouldn’t use it once you’re in a fasted state, since ampk is already activated. most likely it just does nothing, but it could drop your blood sugar low enough that you’re going to want to end your fast early.
