Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3.It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4), which also occurs naturally as the mineral magnetite.As the mineral known as hematite, Fe 2 O 3 is the main source of iron for the steel industry.Fe 2 O 3 is ferromagnetic, dark red, and readily attacked by acids. Iron(III) oxide is often called rust, and to some extent this label is useful, because rust shares several properties and has a similar composition.s the mineral known as hematite, Fe 2 O 3 is the main source of iron for the steel industry.

Berberine is an alkaloid extracted from various plants used in traditional Chinese medicine. Berberine is supplemented for its anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. It can also improve intestinal health and lower cholesterol. Berberine is able to reduce glucose production in the liver. Human and animal research demonstrates that 1500mg of berberine, taken in three doses of 500mg each, is equally effective as taking 1500mg of metformin or 4mg glibenclamide, two pharmaceuticals for treating type II diabetes. Effectiveness was measured by how well the drugs reduced biomarkers of type II diabetes.
