Introduction:

Barberry herb has been used in the Middle East, Europe, China, and India for healing purposes.

When evaluating research studies with barberry, it is important to note the distinction between fruit extract and root extract.

Berberine is isolated as a main alkaloid from the roots and bark of Berberis vulgaris
