Side effects of berberine:
Berberine, scientific name berberine, is an alkaloid extracted from the roots of Coptis, Phellodendron amurense, Sanzhen and other plants. Berberine can be used for some types of infectious diarrhea, only for infectious diarrhea caused by bacterial infection, but not for non-infectious abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Berberine has the characteristics of high concentration sterilization and low concentration bacteriostasis. If berberine is often used, it will not only reduce its antibacterial effect, but also produce bacterial resistance similar to antibacterial drugs.
Berberine can also affect the activity of intestinal digestive enzymes, inhibit the activity of intestinal probiotics, and destroy the absorption of vitamins and fatty acids.
There have also been cases of peripheral neuritis caused by the absorption disorder of B vitamins caused by long-term and large-scale use of berberine. Therefore, Berberine, as a "panacea" for diarrhea and abdominal pain, will not only fail to achieve curative effect, but will be counterproductive, and may also delay the best treatment time.
