The 411 on Berberine

Do not confuse plant-based Berberine with synthetic, man-made Berberine (Berberine HCL) and/or Dihydroberberine.

HCL stands for Berberine Hydrochloride.

Plant-based, phyto, bioactive, or bioavailable Berberine is a yellow-colored alkaloid found in certain plants such as Goldenseal root, Barberry bark of root, Oregon Grape root, Tree Turmeric, Agarita, Goldthread (or Coptis Chinensis), and Phellodendron. Bayberry bark also contains berberine.

Alkaloid berberine is a class of naturally occurring compounds often noted for their pharmacological effects, and extracted from the roots, stems, and barks of various plants of the Berberis species.

Unlike Berberine HCL, these Berberine-rich plants are safe in addition to being very therapeutically effective.

Berberine HCL is crude berberine which has been chemically altered to become an alkaloidal salt (hydrochloride salt).

Dihydroberberine is a synthetic, man-made variation of berberine created as a slight variation of berberine with the aim of improving absorption and reducing stomach side effects.

Allopathic medical doctors and physicians are averse to plant-based or phyto-berberine because there’s no incentive for them, plus, plant-based berberine is highly effective and gets the job done, especially pertaining to adverse liver conditions. Anything that helps heal a person is not in the best interests of doctors, hospitals, and the entire U.S. medical industry.

Berberine-rich herbs are the best substances for the liver and all adverse liver conditions, including hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis of the liver, and liver cancer.

In conclusion, Berberine is helpful for a plethora of adverse health conditions, including metabolic disorders, adverse cardiovascular conditions, adverse pancreas conditions, adverse liver and gallbladder conditions, adverse spleen conditions, adverse blood sugar conditions, obesity and other adverse weight conditions.

Berberine also offers anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.

The most important thing to remember about consuming Berberine supplements/herbs is that you don’t need to or want to consume high dosages as the substance is very potent. You also don’t want to consume on an empty stomach. A regimen should consist of two weeks on and two weeks off to allow the body to adjust.

Contrary to Western medical opinion, plant-based Berberine does not harm the liver and actually helps the liver. According to herbalist and health researcher/writer Djehuty Maatra, Berberine-rich herbs are the best herbs for the liver.

According to Maatra, actor/comedian George Burns consumed Berberine-rich herbs every weekend to help keep his liver strengthened, cleansed, and toned which helped him live to age one hundred despite his vices of smoking and consuming alcohol regularly.

The liver is the largest internal organ of the human body and performs over five hundred (500) different functions. It is the body’s first line of internal defense. It is a major filtering organ, the primary filtering organ.

Most Americans’ livers are taxed due to inundation of harmful, toxic chemicals exposed to and consumed daily, such as environmental toxins, pharmaceutical drugs (prescription medication), OTC (over-the-counter) drugs, birth control pills and devices (implants), health supplements (synthetic vitamins and minerals), illegal or illicit drugs (opiates, controlled substances, etc.), 300+ toxic substances (additives) in municipal tap water, toxic ingredients in skincare or body care products, hair care products, cosmetics, fragrances (perfumes and colognes), grooming and hygiene products, feminine hygiene products, oral hygiene products, ultra-processed foods (animal-based and vegan), toxic household cleaning supplies, vapors from people who vape, cigarette and cigar smoke (that travel), and dental products (chemicals used in filling material, crowns, bridges, amalgams, etc.).

Very few people are knowledgeable about liver cleansing. The liver should be cleansed or detoxified at least once a year. Herbal liver cleanses are readily available these days.

The only business out there that sells an authentic Berberine-rich product containing all available Berberis species, Berberine-rich herbs is Divine Medicinals .com which offers a Berberine Formula.
