Berberis aquifolium

Scientific Summary

Berberis aquifolium, a North‑American shrub known as Pacific barberry, contains the alkaloid berberine in its bark, leaves, and berries. It is commonly used to support digestive health, lower blood sugar and cholesterol, and reduce inflammation. Because berberine can interact with a range of medications and may cause gastrointestinal upset or constipation, it should be used with caution, especially by pregnant or nursing women and people taking prescription drugs.
