The substance occurs in various popular medicinal plants, such as the <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a target="_blank" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/products/goldenseal/" style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" rel="noreferrer noopener">Canadian turmeric</a></span> (botanical: Hydrastis canadensis), the creeping mahonia (botanical: Mahonia repens), the three-leaved goldthread (botanical: Coptis trifolia) and the barberry (botanical: Berberis vulgaris). Spread all over the world, these plants have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. And even today, the plants are still popular.</p> <p>So popular that the survival of some of these plants is currently threatened by excessive wild harvesting. It is therefore important to choose berberine from a sustainable source. Thorne holds sustainability in high regard. In this product, the substance is isolated from the Indian barberry (botanical: Berberis aristata). This plant is in no way endangered. The plant grows abundantly and the harvest is sustainable.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Research on berberine</span></h4> <p>Since the early 2000s, there has been increasing interest in science for the substance berberine.
