Sajah PophamHOST
This is, uh, you know, one of the herbs that contains probably one of our better studied herbal constituents of the modern era.
Sajah PophamHOST
Uh, it contains the alkaloid berberine, and, uh, berberine is present in a number of different medicinal plants, including herbs like Oregon grape root, Berberis, some Chinese remedies, Coptis, um, Philodendron.
Sajah PophamHOST
I have most experience with Oregon grape and goldenseal though.
Sajah PophamHOST
Um, and, uh, this, the...
Catherine HockingHOST
It contains several ingredients that SkinSafe considers fragrances.
Catherine HockingHOST
Centella leaf water, Coptis japonica root extract, and Melaleuca alternifolia, which is tea tree leaf water.
Catherine HockingHOST
Brian's evening favorite was Tower 28 SOS Daily Barrier Recovery Cream.
Catherine HockingHOST
It's priced from $24 for acne-prone and combination skin, $12.90 for a 1.86-ounce tube.
Sajah PophamHOST
I mean, honestly, if I had to select any herbs for this, I would pick a berberine-containing herb out of all of them.
Sajah PophamHOST
So that could be something like goldenseal, Oregon grape root, uh, Berberis, Chinese Coptis, yellow root, Phellodendron.
Sajah PophamHOST
These are all berberine-containing herbs.
Sajah PophamHOST
Um, and those, that alkaloid is just, that's, it's an awesome alkaloid, uh, where it's very, very good, uh, very strong, very broad spectrum, very active.
Sajah PophamHOST
It's expensive, but it's really indispensable here in my opinion.
Sajah PophamHOST
I think it's the best of the berberine-containing herbs.
Sajah PophamHOST
Granted, I haven't used, I haven't used the Chinese berberine-containing herbs like Phellodendron or Coptis that much, but I've used all the other ones.
Sajah PophamHOST
Uh, you know, the berberine, or the Berberis and the Oregon grape and things like that.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
And, um, berberine, which for those of you who pay attention to supplements, et cetera, you often can purchase this in health foods, um, health food stores, but it's a really wonderful compound that's in numerous Chinese as well as Western herbs.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
Um, and this is, uh, berberine is a well-known isoquinoline plant alkaloid extract, and this, uh, comes from herbs like, uh, Coptis and Berberis, um, which is the Oregon grape.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
That's the, the Western plant.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
And in traditional and modern herbalism, berberine has a long history of use for metabolic and gastrointestinal support, and it's acting primarily through the active activation of AMP-activated protein kinase.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
Tr- look, I use a lot-- I've used a lot of traditional Chinese medicine from Dr. Zang.
