Can you find a brand that has it in high dosage? Most are 500mg and you want us to take 2 grams a day.

I had my Gallbladder removed three years ago, is it ok to take Barberry, would I have side effects. I’m a vitamin freak now and watch what I eat.

what about collecting it fresh? Make your own tincture; from berries or roots? or if you make a tea from which part of plant? It grows everywhere’; it is even invasive!

In reply to Becky. Look into Thorne Research T.A.P.S. I have poor fat digestion and this works wonders. It's a combo of Turmeric, Artichoke, Piccorizzha, and Silymarin

I’ve actually read that goldenseal can produce arrhythmias and know of actual cases where this happened. I would urge caution around this herb. I’ve also read that it should not be taken for more than a couple of weeks since it can affect the good flora as well.

So this should only be taken for 1 week? Its not recommended for continuous use? Should it be used as a detox type herb?

What to do with cirrhosis? I’ve got great blood levels and work very hard at maintaining them. Juice organic twice a day, eat organic, take collagen, liver flushes, liver supplements, no wheat, sugars, etc. It’s a lot of work and the bladder still gets sludgy and protein levels are high. Will try this in tincture form from the Vitamin Shoppe. Plus delayed fatigue no one can find. Any suggestions welcomed.

My husband has type 2 diabetes and takes Metformin. I feel like barberry would help him but am confused. Should he take it for a week and then stop for a while before taking it again?

Hi Dr. Axe!! I had a stroke about 10 ago and chronic UTI and hip issues for 2 years. I have a lot of medications but I think Barberry is something to try. What do you think?

So, when taking barberry should the user take it for a week then take a week or 2 off then take it for another week?
