Berberine is a yellow alkaloid found in many herbs that have been traditionally used for fighting bacterial infections, such as Oregon grape and goldenseal. It is a broad-spectrum antiseptic, with activity against bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. However, it must come in direct contact with the microbes to be effective. This is why it is most effective for infections in the gastrointestinal tract.
It blocks the bacterial endotoxins that cause diarrhea, making it useful for infectious diarrhea, especially when combined with Activated Charcoal. It also helps regulate dysbiosis (imbalances in gut microbes) making it useful for SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) and test infections. There is also some evidence that regulating gut bacteria can help reduce sugar cravings and aid in weight loss.

Berberine is poorly absorbed, so it is not a systemic anti-septic agent. However, what is absorbed is excreted through the urine, making it moderately effective for urinary tract infections. It also inhibits bacteria from sticking to the urinary passages.
Besides its antimicrobial activity, berberine helps to lower blood glucose and blood cholesterol levels. It also dramatically increases bile production. It can triple bile production for up to four hours. Berberine may also have some anti-tumor activity.
