What Is Berberine Hydrochloride?

Berberine Hydrochloride is a purified form of berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid found in several medicinal plants, including Coptis chinensis (Goldthread), Phellodendron amurense (Amur Cork Tree), and Berberis species. The hydrochloride (HCl) form is commonly used because it offers excellent stability, high purity, and good water solubility, making it ideal for dietary supplements and nutraceutical formulations.

Berberine Hydrochloride Powder is typically standardized to 97% or 98% purity using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). It appears as a yellow crystalline powder and is widely used in capsules, tablets, powders, and functional food products.
