Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://examine.com/supplements/berberine/ | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19686830 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25610485

Berberine, an alkaloid isolated from Rhizoma Coptidis, is known to have a wide array of therapeutic effects including antimicrobial, antineoplastic, and hepatoprotective effects. It is found in several plants including European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, phellodendron, and tree tumeric. Berberine seems to slightly reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Berberine might lower blood pressure. Berberine is possibly safe for most adults for short-term use when taken by mouth or applied to the skin.

Sample Use Guides

500 mg of berberine 2-3 times daily for up to 3 months
Route of Administration: Oral
Berberine acted cytotoxically on both tumour cell lines. The melanoma B16 cells were much more sensitive to berberine treatment than the U937 cells. The value of IC(100) was below 100 ug/ml for the U937 cells and below 1 ug/ml for the B16 cells. As for both cell lines under the long-term influence the values of IC(50) were found to be less than 4 ug/ml.
