Berberine is present in the bark, stem, roots, and rhizomes of these plants. Berberine-rich plants like Berberis vulgaris have been used worldwide in herbal medicine traditions. Barberry shrub is indigenous to Europe and naturalized in Asia and North America. Berberine has been studied in many in vitro and clinical trials for its beneficial effects on insulin resistance and lowering lipids. For example, several randomized controlled trials in adults demonstrated that barberry supplementation reduced levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol.
