The result is a highly concentrated and pure extract. Through the continuous treatment of the plant material with a solvent, we obtain valuable bioactive substances that form the basis of our powerful elixirs. Achieving this high concentration of active compounds is not possible with other extraction methods, such as maceration.

Barberry Tablets, 300 mg Active Ingredient Barberry (Sour Thorn) Tablets made from ground root bark Tablet size → 16 mm * 8 mm Active ingredient per tablet → 300 mg What is Barberry (Berberis vulgaris)? Barberry is known by several names in our region, including sour thorn and vinegar berry. It is a shrub that can grow up to three meters tall and was originally native to North Africa. The Romans adopted the name "Barberry" after introducing the plant to Europe, inspired by the Berber people of the region. Many hikers and wild animals have mixed feelings about the deciduous shrub. While its thorns are unpleasant to encounter, its appearance is quite attractive. The yellow-brown to gray bark may look ordinary, but underneath it reveals a vivid, sun-yellow layer. The fragrant yellow blossoms resemble buttercups and later develop into scarlet-red, edible berries. Due to their extremely sour taste, caused by their high vitamin C content, the names "vinegar berry" and "sour thorn" became popular. Barberry prefers dry to moderately moist, calcareous soils. It thrives in both sunlight and partial shade and is often found at forest edges and in light floodplain forests. We use only ground roots from ecologically sustainable cultivation in our products, as these offer the highest potency of beneficial compounds. A Common Remedy in Antiquity and the Middle Ages Berberis vulgaris was already part of the standard repertoire of healers and physicians in ancient times. It was primarily prescribed for liver, gallbladder, and kidney complaints. During the Middle Ages, its use expanded to include digestive issues with positive results. The wide range of potential benefits is attributed to the plant’s broad spectrum of alkaloids, especially its high content of berberine. Stephen Harrod Buhner, a world-renowned expert in applied herbal medicine, describes this alkaloid as an effective agent against resistant microorganisms by preventing their adhesion to the intestinal lining. Barberry is also considered beneficial for skin issues, according to Buhner.
