Our Goldenseal Coptis C 1000 formulation is based on the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The main medicinal ingredient is not extracted from Hydrastis canadensis plant but rather Coptis chinensis plant. Coptis chinensis is a traditional Chinese herb in many ways similar to Hydrastis canadensis but it contains a larger spectrum and dosage of alkaloids such as Berberine, Hydrastinine, Coptisine and Palmatine, therefore having an enhanced therapeutic effect. Due to it’s action to clear heat, dry dampness, purge fire and clear toxic heat, Goldenseal Coptis has anti-pathogenic effects (anti-viral, anti-bactetrian, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic) as well as improving digestion and spleen function. By doing so, Goldenseal Coptis can reduce inflammation and improve immune response.
