Anecdotal: I suffer a genetic disorder of metabolism [1] and I take a number of over the counter supplements to improve my vitality.
By trial and error since I was diagnosed 11 years ago, I have settled to take them - except for resveratrol and berberine - at bedtime. The effect is clearly noticeable. I thought it was because my body needed them most while recovering from everyday activities, but as usual, things get more complicated as we gain knowledge.
Anyway, an interesting read and another opportunity to further improve my health.

- ollysb 7y agoI’ve just discovered berberine recently and have had great success taking 500mg before each meal. I’m diabetic and have been able to halve my insulin dose since taking it. What’s the timing/dose that you use? Same question for resveratratol which I’m also planning on introducing.
- fasteo 7y agoI take 500mg first thing in the morning, but this dose is in the lower side. My rationale here is to midly uncouple complex I of the electron transport chain to induce mitochondrial biogenesis of my wild type mitochondria.
- fasteo 7y agoOoops, I missed resveratrol. Same dosage, same timing, same rationale.
