Can berberine be used for weight loss?

"Berberine also improves our body’s ability to utilize insulin and slows down the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut, like some diabetes medications. This is why berberine has been found to assist with weight loss." - Dr. Samuel Mathis, assistant professor in The University of Texas Medical Branch’s Family Medicine Department
