First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether taking berberine, a natural supplement, can improve blood fat levels and blood pressure in people with cardiometabolic syndrome. Researchers will compare berberine to a placebo in 40 healthy adults aged 18-65. The goal is to see if berberine can help control key risk factors for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
