Synthetic Berberine HCL 98% refers to Synthetic Berberine Hydrochloride with a purity of 98%, a high-purity alkaloid raw material produced through chemical synthesis rather than plant extraction. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, health supplements, and veterinary fields, with stable quality and cost advantages, making it a preferred raw material for large-scale production.
It has the same function with natural Berberine HCL, it improves energy expenditure, reduces body weight, and alleviates nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Key Differences: Synthetic vs. Natural Extracted
In international trade and procurement, synthetic and natural extracted berberine HCL are two distinct specifications, with the following main differences:
| Items | Synthetic Berberine HCL | Natural Extracted Berberine HCL |
| Source | Complete chemical synthesis (reaction of chemical raw materials) | Extracted from plants such as Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinense, and Berberis |
| Purity Requirement | ≥98.0% (higher for pharmacopoeia standards) | ≥97.0% |
| Impurity Control | Includes inspection of synthetic impurities such as cyanide and organic nitriles | Contains plant homologous impurities such as jatrorrhizine and palmatine |
| Heavy Metals | Stricter (≤20 ppm) | Relaxed (≤50 ppm) |
| Price | Lower, stable, suitable for large-scale production | Higher, affected by plant raw material prices |
| Certification | Complies with international pharmacopoeias such as USP/EP/BP | Mostly food grade/health supplement grade |
