Bitter Herbs and Berberine
Herbal bitters have traditionally been used for their purgative qualities. The particularly intense and lingering bitter taste of selected plants was observed by traditional herbalists to soothe the stomach, stimulate digestive secretions, and harmonize the action of the liver and gallbladder. Today, plant chemists have profiled "bitter principles" as possessing varied chemical structures and actions. These principles, including berberine and "berberine-like" alkaloids, flavonoids, and anthroquinones, are representative of the various kinds of photochemical families that exert a profound clearing and antioxidant effect within the body, and produce the herbs' bitter taste.
Prepared through the MetaBotanica® Method, CandiBactin-BR™ provides the means to deliver significant amounts of both purified berberine and complex crude and standardized extracts of berberine-containing plants. Drawing on both contemporary research and the traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic systems, CandiBactin-BR™ is designed to participate in the maintenance of healthy microbial balance in the intestines an the purgative functions of the gallbladder, liver and urinary tract.
