This unique formulation contains berberine, an alkaloid compound found in the roots, rhizomes, stems and bark of several plants commonly used in botanical and Chinese medicine. Berberine has long been recognized as an antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-parasitic compound. This formulation also includes Cat’s claw. This powerful herb has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes, which include anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, as well as stimulation of the immune system. Maitake and Reishi medicinal mushroom extracts are excellent immune system complements that encourage T-Cell and Macrophage attack on invaders.

Ingredients

Berberine (Berberis vulgaris): Berberine has demonstrat- ed significant activity against a wide variety of organisms including a broad spectrum of bacteria, yeasts, fungus and parasites. Its mechanism of action is thought to result in part from its characteristic structure, which is that of a planar cationic molecule. This structural arrangement enables it to intercalate the DNA structure. (1)

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa): Cat’s Claw, also known as the “life-giving vine of Peru,”“saventaro,” or “uña de gato,” is indigenous to the Amazon rain forest and other tropical areas of South and Central America. (2) Its alkaloids are purported to exhibit various pharmacologic activities, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, immune-stimulating, anti-rheumatic, and antineoplastic properties. (3,4) It has been reported to possibly benefit those with autoimmune arthritis as well. (5)

Maitake and Reishi Mushroom extracts (Grifola frondosa and Ganoderma lucidum): Mushroom polysaccharides elicit an immune-modulatory response with impact on the expression of cytokines IL-1α, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in human macrophages with and without LPS stimulation. (6)

We utilize a hot water extraction for the increased anti-oxidant properties as hot-water extracts show high scavenging ability on superoxide anions. (7)

Directions

1 capsule can be taken three times per day with or without food.
