It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda for treating many different ailments ranging from digestive issues, inflammation, and fighting infections. Through further research and modern studies, the benefits of berberine have been narrowed down to show that this isolated phytochemical may help support healthy glucose metabolism, healthy lipid metabolism, gastrointestinal health, and cellular health.
