Nutricost Berberine HCl with Ceylon Cinnamon

Nutricost publishes 600mg of berberine HCl per capsule paired with Ceylon cinnamon, in a 120-capsule bottle described as 60 servings — implying a two-capsule serving and therefore 1,200mg daily.

What’s in it

Amounts are shown only where the manufacturer publishes them. Anything without a figure is undisclosed — and for an active ingredient, an undisclosed dose is the central problem with this category.

How the manufacturer says it works

Positioned by the manufacturer on the ingredient category described above rather than on weight loss outcomes.

What the evidence actually supports

The ingredient categories here — berberine, soluble fibre and probiotics — each have their own evidence base, covered in our ingredient guides. None acts on the GLP-1 receptor.

Where that evidence stops

No published human trial of this specific product. Ingredient-level evidence does not transfer automatically to a particular formulation or dose, and none of these products has weight loss outcome evidence.

Strengths and problems

Strengths

  • Publishes berberine dose per capsule clearly at 600mg
  • 120 capsules described as 60 servings, so the daily dose is inferable at 1,200mg
  • Divided dosing across two capsules suits berberine's poor bioavailability better than a single daily dose
  • Among the better-value berberine options

Problems

  • Ceylon cinnamon quantity is not published
  • Berberine is not a GLP-1 mechanism
  • Significant drug interaction potential via CYP3A4
  • Warnings, allergens and refunds were not published on the page we captured
