Microbial Defense

Trying to get rid of candida or other pathogenic microorganisms?  Allergic to prescription antibiotics or just trying to balance your intestinal microflora naturally? Microbial Defense uses extracts of plants that have proven antibacterial and antifungal properties to inhibit the growth of pathogens gently.  Microbial Defense is formulated with wormwood, green tea, and berberine extracts to provide natural support for reducing:

• Candida albicans & other pathogenic yeasts
• Bacterial or viral infections
• Parasites
• Fungal infections

Microbial Defense by Seeking Heatlh is formulated with three plants that are prized for their antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Berberine sulfate provides broad-spectrum support against numerous potential pathogens. Artemisia absinthium, also known as wormwood, has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal herb for internal parasites. Artemisia annua, commonly known as sweet wormwood, is rich in a sesquiterpene lactone that serves as a natural defense agent for the plant. Green tea provides polyphenols that hinder microbial growth and activity. May be useful in a broad GI detoxification program or separately to support microbial balance.
