Ingredients explained
Caprylic Acid
Caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that can disrupt lipid membranes of unwanted microbes and may help maintain a balanced gut environment.
Caution: Start with food to reduce stomach upset, and avoid if you are sensitive to medium-chain fats.
Garlic (allicin-releasing potential)
Allicin-related compounds from garlic may influence microbial balance by reacting with enzymes and cell membranes.
Caution: May cause digestive discomfort or garlic breath; can interact with blood-thinning supplements or diets.
Grapefruit seed extract
Plant compounds in grapefruit seed extract are studied for effects on microbial cell walls and enzyme activity.
Caution: Grapefruit derivatives may affect how the body processes certain substances; avoid if you need to avoid grapefruit.
Pau D'Arco (inner bark)
Naturally occurring naphthoquinones in pau d’arco are studied for influencing microbial balance in the gut.
Caution: May cause stomach upset in some people; use with food and discontinue if discomfort occurs.
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root
Liquorice root contains glycyrrhizin and flavonoids that may support mucosal comfort and a balanced microbial environment.
Caution: Excess glycyrrhizin may affect fluid balance and blood pressure; avoid high-sodium diets and prolonged high intake.
How they work together
Caprylic acid acts on lipid membranes, while plant compounds from garlic, grapefruit seed, and pau d’arco act through different biochemical targets on microbes. Liquorice adds soothing support for the gastrointestinal lining, complementing the direct microbial balancing actions.
