What it is

Coptis Chinensis (Huang Lian) is a tcm & metabolic supplement. Coptis chinensis (Huang Lian) is one of the richest botanical sources of berberine, a classical TCM 'heat-clearing' bitter. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works
