Brief Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic

Detailed Answer:
If you give me a few minutes, I will run an interaction profile for you.

I found some moderate interaction between berberine and metoprolil. Now, you say you are taking benecar, is that benecardia? Many interactions showed up for the nutrients in Deep Cell Activater and benecardia.

As a health care provider my first interest is in doing no harm. I am not comfortable saying there are no risks associated with taking this product with your other medications.

It is true our metabolism slows down every decade. Walking briskly daily helps increase the metabolism. Congratulations on being active, but being active is still not "exercise" unless you are keeping your heart rate in training zone for at least 20 continuous minutes.

You ask for advise. I say sit back, set some life goals, and find someone who can find some fun ways to help you meet them!

Feel free to write me back if you need clarifications of if you have more questions.

Best wishes, XXXXXXX Shattler, MS,RDN
