Herbal Plant Extract Amur Cork-tree Bark Extract Berberine Hydrochloride

Berberine is a bitter-tasting and yellow-colored chemical. It might help strengthen the heartbeat, which could benefit people with certain heart conditions. It might also kill bacteria, help regulate how the body uses sugar in the blood, and help reduce swelling.

People most commonly use berberine for diabetes, high levels of cholesterol or other fats in the blood, and high blood pressure. It is also used for burns, canker sores, liver disease, and many other conditions.

Berberine Hydrochloride is an isoquinoline alkaloid (chemical formula: C20H18NO4) extracted from traditional Chinese herb Amur Cork-tree bark. It has been widely used to treat diarrhea and enteritis for hundreds of years in China. Berberine Hydrochloride has extremely high clinical application value. It is an over-the-counter drug with low price, good safety and few adverse reactions in China.

Berberine HLC (also known as berberine hydrochloride) is a natural isoquinoline alkaloid found in a wide variety of herbs, including goldenseal, barberry, goldthread, Oregon grape and tree turmeric. Within these plants, the berberine alkaloid can be found in the stem, bark, roots and rhizomes (rootlike subterranean stems) of the plants.

Effective for:
1) Canker sores. Applying a gel containing berberine can reduce pain, redness, oozing, and the size of canker sores.
2) Diabetes. Taking berberine by mouth seems to slightly reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
3) High levels of cholesterol or other fats (lipids) in the blood (hyperlipidemia). Taking berberine by mouth, alone or with other ingredients, might help lower total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in people with high cholesterol.
4) High blood pressure. Taking 0.9 grams of berberine by mouth daily along with the blood pressure-lowering drug amlodipine reduces blood pressure better than taking amlodipine alone in people with high blood pressure.
5) A hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with cysts (polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS). Taking berberine by mouth might lower blood sugar, improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reduce testosterone levels, and lower waist-to-hip ratio in people with PCOS.
