Ingredients explained
Caprylic Acid
Caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that can disrupt lipid membranes of microorganisms, which may help maintain a balanced microbial environment in the gut.
Caution: May cause digestive upset in some people; take with food to reduce discomfort.
Pau D'Arco (inner bark)
Pau d’Arco contains naphthoquinones that are studied for their effects on microbial balance and may help discourage overgrowth of unwanted organisms.
Caution: Herbal constituents may interact with some medicines; consult a professional if using long term.
Garlic (allicin-releasing potential 2,880 mcg)
Garlic provides allicin precursors that can form reactive sulphur compounds, which are associated with supporting microbial balance in the gut.
Caution: May cause breath odour or digestive discomfort; can interact with blood-thinning agents due to effects on platelet function.
Grapefruit seed extract
Grapefruit seed extract supplies bitter compounds that are studied for their effects on microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract.
Caution: Grapefruit derivatives may affect how some substances are processed in the body; use caution if taking medicines.
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root
Liquorice root contains glycyrrhizin and flavonoids that may support mucosal comfort and maintain a balanced inflammatory response in the gut lining.
Caution: Excess glycyrrhizin may affect blood pressure and potassium levels; avoid high intake if sensitive to these effects.
How they work together
Caprylic acid supplies a direct fatty acid approach to disrupt unwanted organisms, while botanical extracts like pau d’Arco, garlic, and grapefruit seed extract provide complementary phytochemicals that support microbial balance. Liquorice root adds soothing support for the gut lining, rounding out the formula’s digestive focus.
