Take all three daily softgels as directed and you're getting 1,200mg of **Berberine HCl** — solidly within the 500–1,500mg range used across multiple meta-analyses for supporting healthy blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and cholesterol levels. The divided dosing (one softgel three times daily with meals) is exactly how clinical trials administered berberine, which matters because it has a short half-life and needs consistent blood levels throughout the day to work.

The softgel format uses **MCT Oil** as a fat-based carrier, which may help with absorption since standard berberine HCl is notoriously hard for your body to absorb — only about 5% reaches your bloodstream. The MCT itself is dosed far below its own clinical range, so it's functioning purely as a delivery vehicle here, not as a standalone active.

If you experience the GI discomfort berberine is known for at this dose, more bioavailable forms like dihydroberberine can deliver similar effects at much lower doses — worth knowing before you write off the ingredient entirely.
