What is berberine good for?

This is exactly the question the longevity and supplement market makes big promises about, and those promises are precisely what is not allowed. No health claims have been approved for berberine within the EU. If you come across a webshop telling you exactly what berberine does for you, it is overstepping the mark. What we can tell you: what berberine is, where it occurs naturally and how you use it. What you want from it is up to you.

What exactly is berberine?

Berberine is a yellow-coloured alkaloid that occurs naturally in plants of the Berberis family, such as the barberry. It has been used in traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years and is chemically well researched.

How do you take berberine?

One capsule a day with water, preferably with a meal. Why with a meal? That is easier on the stomach, because at higher doses berberine can cause mild gastrointestinal complaints.

What are the drawbacks of berberine?

At the recommended dose berberine is considered safe. Some people experience mild gastrointestinal complaints such as a bloated feeling, especially at higher doses. No serious side effects are known.

Who is better off not using berberine?

Do not use berberine in combination with immunosuppressants and not during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you take other medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Keep the tub out of reach of children.

Reviews

Berberine has been on the rise in the longevity corner in recent years. This is Berberine HCl, 500 mg per capsule with a purity of 97%, complemented with a little piperine. For anyone who wants to use berberine deliberately and pays attention to purity and origin.

What is berberine?

Berberine is an alkaloid, a plant compound, found in the roots and bark of plants from the Berberis family, such as barberry, and in Coptis chinensis and Hydrastis canadensis. The use of these plants in traditional herbal medicine, both Asian and European, goes back thousands of years. In supplements berberine is often offered in the HCl form because of its stability. We make no statements about an effect on health; no claims have been approved for berberine within the EU, even though many suppliers claim otherwise.
