Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 4 ingredients total. Berberine hydrochloride is a plant extract studied for blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormonal balance.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a beneficial gut bacterium thought to support intestinal health. The other two ingredients — Sukre and TriBiome — are listed in the formula, though we don't have detailed information on their roles.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients like cellulose, lecithin, and magnesium stearate, which are standard binders and flow agents.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supercharge GLP-1 production and fat loss.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Hyperlipidemia, Weight management — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Berberine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Berberine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hyperlipidemia.
  • Also on file: Berberine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome.

Berberine has possibly effective evidence for lowering cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), supporting blood sugar control in diabetes, managing high blood pressure, helping with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and fighting Helicobacter pylori bacteria. For Akkermansia muciniphila, the evidence in our data doesn't establish its effectiveness — studies are small and longer-term data are limited.

We have no effectiveness data for Sukre or TriBiome.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Berberine taken by mouth is generally well tolerated short-term but commonly causes digestive upset — abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. It may also cause dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, or headache.

Rare serious events (reported with intravenous use) are not expected from capsule form. Safety data advise against berberine during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

For Akkermansia muciniphila, small studies suggest short-term use is okay, but long-term safety isn't well studied, and there isn't enough information to recommend it in pregnancy or while nursing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Berberine is a studied ingredient for metabolic and hormonal support, but it's a heavy hitter with drug interactions. If you're on any prescription medications — especially blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or immunosuppressants — you need to check them against the tool on this page before you start.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about whether this is right for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Trim Biome GLP-1 with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Berberine Hydrochloride15 drug types · 1,160 drugs

Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Berberine can increase serum levels of cyclosporine.
Berberine can reduce metabolism and increase serum levels of cyclosporine. Berberine might inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes cyclosporine.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, berberine might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and in vivo research suggest that berberine can inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, berberine might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs and increase the risk of bleeding.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, berberine may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that berberine may lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, berberine might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, berberine might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that berberine can have hypotensive effects. Also, a clinical study suggests that taking berberine in combination with amlodipine can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure when compared with amlodipine alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, berberine might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that berberine may have sedative effects. Theoretically, use of berberine along with CNS depressants might produce additive therapeutic and adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, berberine might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit CYP2C9. Theoretically, taking berberine with drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 might increase drug levels and increase the risk of adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, berberine might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical evidence show that berberine can inhibit CYP2D6. Theoretically, use of berberine with drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 might increase drug levels and increase the risk of adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, berberine might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical research show that berberine moderately inhibits CYP3A4. Theoretically, use of berberine with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 might increase drug levels and increase the risk of adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Dextromethorphan (Robitussin Dm, Others)

Theoretically, berberine may increase serum levels of dextromethorphan.
Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) activity and reduce the metabolism of dextromethorphan. This may increase the effects and side effects of dextromethorphan.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Losartan (Cozaar)

Berberine might reduce the therapeutic effects of losartan by decreasing its conversion to its active form.
Preliminary clinical research suggests that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) activity and reduce metabolism of losartan.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, berberine might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
In vitro and animal studies show that berberine can increase the systemic exposure and half-life of metformin, potentially increasing metformin's effects and side effects. This interaction seems to be most apparent when berberine is administered 2 hours prior to metformin. Taking berberine and metformin at the same time does not appear to increase systemic exposure to metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Midazolam (Versed)

Berberine can reduce metabolism of midazolam, which might increase the risk of severe adverse effects.
Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity and reduce metabolism of midazolam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Berberine might increase the sedative effect of pentobarbital.
Evidence from animal research shows that berberine can prolong pentobarbital-induced sleeping time. Theoretically, combining berberine and pentobarbital might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tacrolimus (Prograf)

Berberine has been associated with increased blood levels of tacrolimus.
In a 16-year-old patient with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome who was being treated with tacrolimus 6.5 mg twice daily, intake of berberine 200 mg three times daily increased the blood concentration of tacrolimus from 8 to 22 ng/mL. Following a reduction of the tacrolimus dose to 3 mg daily, blood levels of tacrolimus decreased to 12 ng/mL.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Acetazolamide

Laboratory studies and initial clinical findings suggest that berberine has the potential to increase acetazolamide concentrations in the body. More research is needed to confirm this interaction.

Trim Biome GLP-1 by INNOSUPPS: Common Questions

Does Trim Biome GLP-1 by INNOSUPPS interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Trim Biome GLP-1 has a known interaction with 1,160 medications, including 1 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Trim Biome GLP-1 contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Berberine is not advised during pregnancy — safety data suggest it may cross the placenta and has been linked to harm in newborns. It also passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding is not recommended. Akkermansia muciniphila and the other ingredients don't have enough safety information either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Most people who take berberine orally experience digestive issues — bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, or stomach pain. Some also report dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, or headache. These tend to happen short-term, but everyone's different.
Does berberine actually lower blood sugar?
Clinical research shows berberine may lower blood glucose, which is why it's rated possibly effective for diabetes. If you're already on diabetes medication, though, combining them could lower your blood sugar too much — that's a real interaction risk you need to discuss with your pharmacist.
What is Akkermansia muciniphila and does it work?
It's a beneficial bacterium that lives in the gut and is thought to support intestinal health. We don't have established evidence in our data that it's effective for any condition yet, though research is ongoing. Long-term safety data are also limited.
Why do I need to check my medications with the tool?
Berberine slows down how your liver clears many drugs, which can make them build up to higher levels in your blood and cause side effects. It also affects blood thinners and blood pressure control. The checker helps you see if any of your prescriptions are on the interaction list before you start.
Is this product safe to take long-term?
Berberine is generally well tolerated short-term, but we don't have strong long-term safety data. Akkermansia muciniphila has very limited long-term information. Talk with your pharmacist about how long you plan to use it and whether it's right for you.
