Ingredient Overview
Coptis rhizome is known as Huang Lian in Chinese herbal practice. It is a bitter botanical traditionally prepared from the plant’s underground rhizome.
The rhizome is an underground stem rather than a leaf or fruit. Its pronounced bitter character is part of the traditional recognition of Huang Lian. Coptis ingredients are associated with alkaloid constituents, with the concentrated rhizome providing the material for this botanical extract.
