BARBERRY ROOT
Barberry root is a potent botanical long-valued in traditional herbalism for its bitter properties and systemic health benefits. Derived from the root and bark of the barberry shrub, it is characterized by its high concentration of berberine, a vibrant yellow alkaloid that serves as its primary active compound. As a "bitter herb," barberry root stimulates bile production, supporting liver function and gallbladder health. It is frequently used to assist in the digestion of fats and to promote regular bowel function. Due to its berberine content, barberry root possesses significant antimicrobial properties. It is often employed to support the body’s natural defenses against unwanted bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, particularly within the gastrointestinal tract. Modern research suggests that the alkaloids in barberry root may assist in maintaining healthy blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity. It acts as a mild immune stimulant, helping to manage healthy inflammatory responses throughout the body.
