the alkaloid berberine sulfate – found in tinctures of barberry roots (berberine vulgaris), gold fiber (Coptis greenlandica), golden seal (Hydrastis canadensis), Oregon grape (Berberis repens) and yellow root (Xanthorrhiza simplicissima) – is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of – and induces morphological changes in – Trichonomas in the laboratory and in the field. A study in India found a trichomonas-90% free rate in the berberine sulfate group and 95% in the drug group; at the one-month follow-up, 83% of the berberine group and 90% of the drug group were still free of trichomoniasis. The study authors commented on the lack of side effects in those who received berberine.
