Berberine - Feed Ingredient

Berberine is a naturally occurring compound extracted from various plants, including barberry (Berberis vulgaris), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and Oregon grape. Its extraction involves standardized processes designed to concentrate the active compound, resulting in a purified product with consistent potency. Recognized for its broad range of bioactive properties, berberine has been studied for its purported antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects.

In equine nutrition, berberine is incorporated as a functional feed ingredient aimed at supporting digestive health and overall metabolic balance. Although not a primary source of energy or macronutrients, its bioactive properties may contribute to modulating gut microflora and promoting intestinal integrity.
