Swanson Premium Berberine Complex is a dietary supplement in vegan capsules, featuring a balanced herbal blend. The formula contains berberine HCl together with Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) inner bark, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed and Gymnema sylvestre leaf. Each capsule provides 150 mg of each of these ingredients. The capsule is plant-based (hypromellose), and the other ingredients include rice flour, magnesium stearate and silica. The product comes in a bottle of 90 vegan capsules. It is suitable for vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO and dairy-free preferences.
Fenugreek refers to the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L., an aromatic legume widely used as a culinary spice and as a botanical raw material in wellness products. In supplements it is most often found as seed powder, seed extract, or a standardised extract, presented in capsules, tablets, or drink-mix powders. The seed naturally contains fibre and mucilaginous polysaccharides, alongside saponins and other characteristic plant constituents of this species. In cosmetics it is mainly used as a seed extract under the INCI name Trigonella Foenum-Graecum Seed Extract, incorporated into water- or glycerin-based systems for skin and hair products. It may also appear as an aromatic derivative (e.g., an absolute) in fragranced formulas. On labels it can be listed as “seed”, “seed powder”, or “seed extract”, depending on the chosen form.

Answers based on this product's own information.
Berberine is a yellow isoquinoline alkaloid that occurs naturally in several plants, including species of the genus Berberis and other botanicals. In food supplements it is most commonly used as an isolated substance or as a salt, most often berberine HCl, typically standardised to a high berberine content. It may also appear as part of botanical extracts where the label declares the berberine amount or a standardisation percentage. Typical product formats include capsules, tablets and powders, with the daily portion stated in milligrams. In cosmetics it can be present as a discrete ingredient or linked to a botanical source, and on INCI lists it may also be found as “Berberine Chloride”. Because it is a plant-derived isolated compound, labelling can vary between “berberine”, “berberine HCl”, and the names of root/bark extracts that supply it.
Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) is a tropical climbing plant from the Apocynaceae family, used in supplements mainly as leaf powder or as a leaf extract. On labels, the raw material commonly appears as “Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract” or “Gymnema sylvestre extract”, with extracts often standardised by their gymnemic acids content. Extract composition varies with the extraction method and extract ratio, so different products can have different profiles of the plant’s naturally occurring constituents. In cosmetics, it is used as a botanical ingredient under the INCI name “Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf Extract”, typically supplied in water- or glycol-based solutions and incorporated into serums, creams, and skin-care formulas. In supplements, it is most often presented in capsules or tablets as a dry extract or powdered herb.
Cinnamon is the aromatic dried bark of several Cinnamomum species (Lauraceae), used as a spice and as an ingredient in foods, supplements, and cosmetics. On the market, “Ceylon/true cinnamon” (Cinnamomum verum, synonym C. zeylanicum) and several types commonly referred to as “cassia” (e.g., C. cassia/C. aromaticum, C. burmannii, C. loureiroi) are most common, and labels may simply state “cinnamon” without specifying the species. In supplements it is typically found as bark powder or as an extract (for example 4:1, 10:1, or standardised extracts), and less often as bark or leaf essential oil, presented as capsules, tablets, powders, or drops. In cosmetics, cinnamon-derived aromatic materials are mainly used, such as essential oils or fragrance fractions, incorporated into perfuming systems and body products. Chemical composition varies by species and plant part; notably, “cassia” types can contain higher levels of coumarin than Ceylon cinnamon.
