What is Berberine?
Berberine is a natural substance found in the roots, stems, bark, and berries of various plants such as barberry and goldenseal. These plants grow in various regions around the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia.
Berberine has been considered a "miracle cure" in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries due to its broad range of effects. It's no wonder, then, that it's becoming increasingly popular in Western culture!
How is Berberine made?
To make berberine, the roots, stems, and bark of these plants are harvested, dried, and ground into a powder. This powder is mixed with solvents such as water or alcohol to extract the berberine. The mixture is filtered, heated to evaporate the solvent, and further purified to remove impurities. The final product, a pure berberine supplement, is finally dried and processed into capsules.
