Berberine

Berberine is a yellow plant alkaloid found in barberry, goldenseal and Oregon grape, and is mostly studied for blood sugar.

Also listed as Berberine Extract 10:1, Dihydroberberine, berberine hcl, berberine hydrochloride

Are barberries the same as an extract?

Barberry fruit is a food; bark and root preparations are a different category. Fruit contains much less berberine, with levels declining as it ripens. 1
