Berberine
AT A GLANCE:
Berberine and its roles:
- Prevents adhesion of several bacteria
- Decreases the risk of secondary infection
- Allows good recuperation after a viral infection.

It is an isoquinone alkaloid, extracted from several plant roots, such as Hydrastis canadensis, commonly known as "Goldenseal".
This molecule tends to prevent micro-organisms adhering to their host cells. That is why it is recommended in case of bacterial infection.
