Berberine is a plant substance that occurs naturally in a number of specific plants, including Coptis chinensis, also known as Chinese golden thread root. Vit4ever uses this exact root as the source for Berberine HCl 97% Intenso. Each capsule contains 516 mg of extract, of which 500 mg is berberine HCl. That is quite concentrated for a supplement with only two ingredients: the extract itself and a plant-based capsule shell. No fillers, no colorings, no flavorings. What remains is a simple, transparent product for those looking for a single-ingredient berberine product.
Chemically, berberine belongs to a group of substances called alkaloids, a collective term for nitrogen-containing plant substances that often have a bright yellow color. You can also see that color in the root of Coptis chinensis itself, which has long stood out for its deep yellow tint. Berberine has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, usually in the form of dried and ground root. The extract in this product is highly concentrated: 97% of the extract consists of pure berberine HCl, the salt form of berberine that is more stable than the free molecule and therefore easier to incorporate into a capsule.
There is no approved health claim for berberine in the EU. Therefore, on this page we only describe what berberine is, where it comes from, in what form it is in the capsule and how much is in each capsule. Stick to the recommended use on the label and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Raw or dried Coptis chinensis root naturally contains only a small percentage of berberine, often between 5 and 10%. To achieve a fixed amount per capsule, the root is therefore first extracted and then standardized. For this product, that percentage is 97%, which means that the extract consists almost entirely of berberine HCl. Compare it to the difference between a cup of herbal tea and a concentrated decoction: the same plant, but in a completely different amount per serving. Different plants from completely different families can contain the same molecule. In Coptis chinensis, berberine is mainly concentrated in the root and the rhizome, the underground part of the plant. During extraction, that part of the plant is dried, ground and further processed into the extract that eventually ends up in the capsule. This standardization also ensures that every capsule is virtually identical in composition to the previous one.
Anyone looking for a simple formula with Coptis chinensis as the only source will find in Berberine HCl 97% Intenso a product without a herbal mix or extra additives. The capsules are plant-based and suitable for a vegan lifestyle. What is not in it is at least as important as what is. Berberine is one of the best-known plant alkaloids.
The Chinese goldthread root extract is standardised to 97% berberine HCl, making every capsule virtually identical in composition.
Per capsule 516 mg extract, of which 500 mg pure berberine HCl. A high dosage for those who want to work specifically with this ingredient.
Only Coptis chinensis extract and a vegetable capsule shell. No fillers, magnesium stearate, or artificial colours, fragrances or flavourings.
The capsule is made from hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a plant-based raw material, and contains no animal ingredients.

Berberine HCl is the salt form of berberine, a plant compound (alkaloid) naturally found in Coptis chinensis, also known as Chinese golden thread root. The HCl form is more stable than free berberine, making it suitable for encapsulation. In this product, the extract is standardised to 97% berberine HCl.
Each capsule contains 516 mg of Coptis chinensis root extract, of which 500 mg is berberine HCl. That is the only active ingredient in this product, in addition to the plant-based capsule shell.
The berberine is sourced from Coptis chinensis, a root traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine and a naturally concentrated source of this alkaloid.
This is due to EU regulations on health claims. There is currently no EU-approved claim for berberine, so we are not allowed to state that it contributes to a function in your body. We therefore only describe its origin and composition.
Pure berberine is less stable and more difficult to dose in a capsule. By creating a salt form (hydrochloride, HCl), a form is produced that is more resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations. The underlying molecule remains the same.
No. Some berberine supplements use Berberis species such as Berberis vulgaris or Berberis aristata as a source. This product uses Coptis chinensis, another plant that is also naturally rich in berberine. The end result, purified berberine HCl, is chemically identical, regardless of the plant source.
