Metagenics – Berberine and Grapefruit Seed
Berberine and Grapefruit Seed is a broad spectrum herbal formula with standardised extracts of berberine and grapefruit seed. The herbs in this formula have traditionally been used to help maintain a balance of micro-flora in the gastrointestinal tract.
If the gut micro-flora is imbalanced, this may have a negative impact on overall health, for example, it can compromise your nutrient status, and may negatively affect the immune system.
Berberine is a yellow-coloured alkaloid that is found in certain plants such as Goldenseal, Barberry, Oregon Grape and Chinese Gold Thread. It has a 3000 year history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Grapefruit seed extract is a substance derived from the seeds, membranes and the pulp of grapefruit. It is used to support microbial balance in the body.
Garlic has been used traditionally for centuries. It may contribute to the maintenance of the microbial balance in the gut. It may also help defend against harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, and support the immune system.
Goldenseal has been traditionally used to contribute to the natural defences of the body.
Gentian is a bitter digestive herb that is traditionally used to facilitate and support digestion.
Sweet Annie, Black Walnut and Quassia are also part of this synergistic herbal formula.
