Oregon Berberis Tincture (59ml) 

Summary
Oregon Barberry Tincture is a super-concentrated herbal extract made from responsibly grown, organic Oregon Barberry (Mahonia aquifolium) dried root. This liquid herbal extract, with a 1:3 menstrual ratio, is designed to support overall health and well-being. Belonging to the Berberidaceae family, Oregon barberry is not a fruit but a flowering herb native to Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine and by Native Americans for its benefits for digestion, skin health and mood. With its high content of berberine, this tincture offers potential benefits for immune system, digestive health and skin care. The product is ideal for those seeking a natural supplement to support the body's normal functions, with a bitter taste that reflects its potent, bioactive properties.

Health benefits
Oregon Berberis Tincture offers a number of health benefits thanks to its active plant substances, especially berberine, which are well documented in scientific research. Here is a detailed breakdown of the benefits, in line with approved health claims and balanced formulations to avoid medical claims:

• Support for skin health: Berberine has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve skin problems such as dry skin, redness and flaking. Studies indicate that topical use of Oregon barberry extract can reduce symptoms of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and oral use can support the skin's internal balance.

• Digestive health: The bitter compounds in Oregon barberry stimulate bile production and digestive secretions, and thus can help maintain healthy digestion. Studies show that berberine reduces diarrhea caused by E.coli and relieves IBS symptoms.

• Antimicrobial properties: Berberine has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help maintain a healthy microbiome. Extracts from Oregon barberry show activity against bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli, as well as yeast.

• Liver support: Oregon barberry is traditionally used to promote bile flow and support the liver's detoxification processes.

• Mood support: Traditional use suggests that the tincture may have an indirect positive effect on mood via digestive and liver function.

• Immune defense: Oregon barberry contributes to the immune system by reducing inflammation and inhibiting unwanted microorganisms.

• Heartburn: Anti-inflammatory properties make it useful for irritations in the esophagus associated with acid reflux.
