Other brands have 500mg of berberine per capsule. Why does yours only have 400mg? Isn’t more always better?

At Morphus we emphasize quality over quantity when it comes to dosing. We are strict about using high quality ingredients that are backed by research. Just because a capsule has more of an ingredient, doesn’t mean it is better for you, or that you’re absorbing it all. We used an enhanced emulsification delivery system for this product, which helps to maximize absorption and therefore its effects, so we can use less of it to get the same or similar results.  

Berberine has a bit of a bitter taste. Is that normal?

Yes! Although very mild and pretty much undetectable in the softgel, berberine itself has a bitter taste. If you detect it, it is completely normal and there is nothing wrong with the product.
