HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Berberis Arstata Extract Paste, Organic by Omica Organics

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product is a single-ingredient extract: berberis aristata (also called tree turmeric), presented as a paste in powder form. Berberine is the active compound in this plant extract that accounts for the interactions and effects noted here.

There are no other active ingredients, and the product contains no inactive fillers or additional ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Tree Turmeric's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: traditional herb with turmeric-like benefits.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Wound healing, digestive health, liver support, eye health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tree Turmeric is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tree Turmeric is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypercholesterolemia, Wound healing.

The evidence we hold does not establish that berberis aristata extract works for any of the conditions it's been used for traditionally — burns, diabetes, high cholesterol, wound healing, or heavy menstrual bleeding. All of these have insufficient reliable evidence to rate at this time.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tree Turmeric

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Berberis aristata extract is generally used in traditional medicine, but human safety data are limited and a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been completed. No adverse effects have been reported with tree turmeric alone, though nausea has been reported in a specific commercial product containing tree turmeric mixed with milk thistle.

The safety data advises against use in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — berberine can harm a fetus and may pass to infants.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take tacrolimus, cyclosporine, blood thinners, sedatives, blood pressure medications, or any drug metabolized by common liver enzymes, you need to check your exact medications before trying this product. Because it contains only traditional-medicine uses with no established effectiveness, most people have better options.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any prescription medications.

Berberis aristata extract paste12 drug types · 1,160 drugs

Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can reduce metabolism of cyclosporine and increase serum levels.
Some clinical evidence suggests that berberine inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes cyclosporine.

Likelihood Likely Evidence A
Tacrolimus (Prograf)

Berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can inhibit metabolism of tacrolimus and increase plasma levels.
Some clinical evidence suggests that berberine inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes tacrolimus. In a 16-year-old patient with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome who was being treated with prednisone 40 mg/m2 and tacrolimus 6.5 mg twice daily, concomitant use of berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, 200 mg three times daily increased plasma levels of tacrolimus from 8 to 22 ng/mL and increased serum creatinine levels from 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dL. Following a reduction of tacrolimus dosing to 3 mg daily, the blood concentration of tacrolimus decreased to 12 ng/mL and the serum concentration of creatinine decreased to 0.9 mg/dL.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, tree turmeric might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs and increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro and animal research suggest that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, tree turmeric, taken alone or in combination with milk thistle, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in patients taking antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that taking a product containing tree turmeric and milk thistle extracts can lower blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes, including those on antidiabetic agents. Additionally, clinical research suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking tree turmeric along with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can have hypotensive effects. Also, a meta-analysis of clinical research suggests that taking berberine in combination with amlodipine (Norvasc) can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure when compared with taking amlodipine alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, use of tree turmeric along with CNS depressants might increase the risk of additive therapeutic and adverse effects.
Animal research suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can have sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, tree turmeric might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can inhibit CYP2C9.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, tree turmeric might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical evidence suggest that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can inhibit CYP2D6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, tree turmeric might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP3A4.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical evidence suggest that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, moderately inhibits CYP3A4.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Dextromethorphan (Robitussin Dm, Others)

Theoretically, tree turmeric might increase levels of dextromethorphan and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects including drowsiness, confusion, and irritability.
Preliminary clinical research suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) activity and reduce the metabolism of dextromethorphan.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Midazolam (Versed)

Theoretically, tree turmeric might increase levels of midazolam and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects including sedation and respiratory depression.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity and reduce metabolism of midazolam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, tree turmeric might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research suggests that berberine, a constituent of tree turmeric, can prolong pentobarbital-induced sleeping time.

Berberis Arstata Extract Paste, Organic by Omica Organics: Common Questions

Does Berberis Arstata Extract Paste, Organic by Omica Organics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Berberis Arstata Extract Paste, Organic has a known interaction with 1,160 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Berberis Arstata Extract Paste, Organic contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advise against use in pregnancy because berberine may harm a fetus, and while breastfeeding because it can pass to infants and may be harmful. Talk to your doctor if you're trying to conceive or are nursing.
Does this actually work for diabetes or high cholesterol?
We don't have reliable evidence that berberis aristata extract works for either of those — or for burns, wound healing, or heavy periods. The evidence is insufficient to rate it for any of these uses.
What side effects does this supplement cause?
No adverse effects have been reported with tree turmeric alone, though a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done. One commercial product mixing tree turmeric with milk thistle reported nausea in some users.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Berberine in this extract blocks three of your liver's main enzyme systems that break down hundreds of different drugs. That's why it can raise the blood levels of many medications and potentially cause problems — especially with transplant drugs and blood thinners.
