Berberine Extract in depth
What it is
Berberine is a yellow alkaloid found in the roots, rhizomes and bark of several plants, including barberry (Berberis species), goldenseal and Indian barberry, known as daruharidra (Berberis aristata) in Ayurveda.
Forms you may see on a label
Berberine is usually supplied as berberine hydrochloride, a yellow crystalline powder, often standardised to a stated percentage of berberine. The label should name the source plant and the amount of berberine per serving.
Where it occurs naturally
Berberine is not a food ingredient. It is found in medicinal plants, and Berberis species have a long history of traditional use in Ayurveda and other traditional systems. Traditional use is not the same as proven benefit in modern clinical research.
Safety notes and who should check first
Reported side effects at higher amounts include stomach upset, cramps, nausea, constipation and diarrhoea. Berberine is generally advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Berberine can interact with a number of medicines, including ciclosporin and some medicines for blood sugar and blood pressure, so ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take any regular medicine.
