some speculation that it's effect on the microbiota might be in play.
As expressed above, this needs to be defined better since microbiota can affect our internal body...outside of gut.
I have no idea if researchers have suggested/theorized what they think happens. Berberine has different side effects, which might suggest if a person has the right gut bacteria, then it works as suggested...say blood thinner & cholesterol effects.
Also, keep in mind genetics....Chinese are not the same as say Americans, gene wise.
AI - "It is used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and other medicinal traditions to treat infections, digestive conditions, and inflammatory disorders. In China, it is used to help control cholesterol levels and diabetes"
