Sixty vegetable capsules, thirty servings, and a two-row Supplement Facts panel with nothing else in it. The label calls it Bark & Root Botanical Extracts.

What you get in every serving
Two capsules deliver:
- 790 mg Granular Berberine Hydrochloride Extract 8% (bark/root)
- 10 mg Granular Berberine Hydrochloride Extract 97% (bark)
- Daily Value is not established for either row, so the panel marks both **
- Vegan, gluten free and non-GMO
- A cellulose vegetable capsule rather than gelatin
What berberine is
Berberine is a plant alkaloid — a bitter, vivid yellow compound found in the bark and roots of a number of plants, which is why this panel lists the source simply as bark and root. It's been used as a dye as well as a botanical ingredient, and the colour is strong enough to stain.
The HCl in the name is the salt form. Berberine on its own is awkward to work with, so it's usually supplied as berberine hydrochloride — a stable, granular salt form that measures and capsules consistently. When you see berberine HCl capsules in a search, that salt is what's being sold. Granular refers to the particle size of the raw material, not to a different compound.
Why there are two rows
Most berberine labels print one line. This one prints two, and the difference between them is concentration. The 8% extract makes up the bulk of the serving at 790 mg. The 97% extract adds 10 mg on top. Those percentages describe how concentrated each extract is — not how full the capsule is — which is exactly why the panel keeps them on separate rows rather than adding them into a single number.
It's a small piece of label literacy worth having, because berberine products are quoted at wildly different milligram figures online and the number on the front of a bottle rarely means the same thing twice.
What else is in the capsule
Very little, and all of it is on the label. The shell is cellulose, a plant-derived vegetable capsule, which is what makes this vegan. MCC is microcrystalline cellulose, a refined plant bulking material used across the supplement and pharmaceutical trade. L-leucine is an amino acid. Olive oil is olive oil. That's the whole list.
How it's taken
Two capsules daily with 6-8 oz of water. Berberine is famously bitter — genuinely unpleasant loose in a glass — so the capsule isn't just convenience here, it's the only comfortable way to take it.
Who it's for
Anyone shopping specifically for berberine HCl rather than a blend, and anyone who wants to see exactly what's in the capsule without a proprietary blend hiding the amounts. Vegan, gluten free and non-GMO, with a panel short enough to read in full in about ten seconds.
How to use it
As a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily. For best results, take with 6-8 oz (177-237ml) of water or as directed by healthcare professional.
Other ingredients
Cellulose (vegetable capsule), MCC (microcrystalline cellulose), L-Leucine, Olive Oil.
