Synergy
What is happening. Psyllium fiber and berberine both lower postprandial glucose and LDL cholesterol through complementary mechanisms, and combining them can give additive metabolic benefit.
Mechanism. Psyllium slows carbohydrate absorption and binds bile acids while berberine activates AMPK and improves insulin sensitivity, producing additive reductions in glucose and cholesterol.
Recommendation. Combining is reasonable for glycemic and lipid support. Monitor blood glucose if also on antidiabetic medication, since the additive effect can lower it further.
