    Drinking tea while taking berberine will affect the efficacy. Tea contains about 10% of tannin, which is broken down into tannic acid in the human body. Tannin will precipitate alkaloids in berberine, greatly reducing its efficacy. Therefore, you should not drink tea within 2 hours before and after taking berberine.
