What we said before vs now
Before
Grade B
After
Grade B
Meta-analysis of RCTs: berberine improved several cardiovascular risk factors — lowering total and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure — versus control. It is a risk-factor signal, not a demonstrated reduction in cardiovascular events.
What this does not change
- Interaction profile for Berberine — unchanged unless there is a separate severity change.
- Dose guidance — unchanged unless the new evidence altered the studied dose range.
- Safety recommendations — unchanged unless a safety event is recorded separately.
