Berberine Extract
Berberine is an alkaloid found in a number of plants. Common in the traditions of traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and Native American healing, plant species that contain berberine include goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium), bayberry (Berveris vulgaris), coptis (Coptis chinensis), and tree turmeric (Berberis aristata). A small number of studies of this compound have been reported. Some have used specific plants and others have used isolated berberine. In vitro studies have demonstrated berberine sulfate causes inhibition of E. coli adhesion to epithelial cells.59 Studies using berberine for other indications have not reported toxicity or significant side effects.| Item | Specification |
