Alkaloids are naturally occurring compounds mainly found in plants. They are usually bitter, nitrogen-containing substances that often affect biological processes in humans and animals. Well-known examples of alkaloids are caffeine (from coffee), nicotine (from tobacco), and morphine (from poppy).

Berberine is mainly found in the roots, stems, and bark of certain plants, including Berberis species. The Rebersa® extract in this product comes from the root of Berberis aristata.

Rebersa® is a standardized form of berberine, which means each capsule is guaranteed to contain 97–102% berberine salts. This ensures a consistent dosage and quality, as opposed to non-standardized extracts.

Yes, berberine can be offered in various forms, including berberine HCl, berberine sulfate, and as a standardized extract such as Rebersa®. The differences lie in purity, stability, and origin.

Berberine is not found in regular foods. It is only present in specific plants that typically are not part of the daily diet. That is why it is often used as a supplement.
