Why this scored 68/100
Berberine (Yin 2008, metformin-comparable at 500mg TID) paired with three other blood-glucose herbs: cinnamon (Costello 2016 meta-analysis, modest fasting glucose reduction), Gymnema sylvestre (small trials for HbA1c) and fenugreek (Neelakantan 2014 meta-analysis). Rational polyherbal design. Safety: berberine interacts with CYP3A4-metabolized drugs. Would move to Verified with per-herb standardization (berberine HCl >97%, cinnamon type A vs C. cassia, gymnemic acids %) and dose disclosure.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
