It occurs in several popular medicinal plants, such as <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/en/products/goldenseal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">goldenseal</a></span> (botanical name: Hydrastis canadensis), creeping Oregon grape (botanical name: Mahonia repens), threeleaf goldthread (botanical name: Coptis trifolia) and barberry (botanical name: Berberis vulgaris). These plants have been used in traditional medicine around the world for thousands of years. They remain popular today.</p> <p>So popular, in fact, that excessive wild harvesting is now threatening the survival of some of these plants.

The plant extract used is standardised to 95% berberine.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Research into berberine</span></h4> <p>Since the early 2000s, scientific interest in berberine has been growing.
