Question 1

What kid of sibo did this product treat?  sibo-c or sibo-d?

Accepted Answer

I used it with Dysbiocide: 2 caps of each, twice daily, per clinical research study funded by NIH. Had severe ulcerative colitis with extreme diarrhea that was being mostly controlled with Prednisone plus SIBO symptoms. I wanted to rebalance my entire gut’s microbiome. Kill off the bad guys, strengthen my gut wall. It worked! My UC was throughout my colon, and this treatment for about 6 weeks helped it all to start healing. It has been into remission for over two years now. I almost immediately lost about 10% of body fat, and my bloated waistline trimmed down to as slim as it was in high school! My food cravings disappeared, so I was able to go 14 hours every night without eating. I felt so good! My UC is still in remission even though my husband has been having lots of trouble with Parkinson’s snd dementia for more than a year. Find that study on treating SIBO with these two herbal supplements and you’ll see how effective it has proven to be when compared to the typical antibiotic treatment, which often has some bad side effects and always disrupts one’s microbiome even more. These herbs, taken together, were comparable to the usual antibiotic(s) given to tackle SIBO with NO bad side effects.

Question 2

What exactly are the herbs and fillers in this product?  Is it sugar, gluten, grain, dairy, soy and egg  and nut free?

Accepted Answer

According to the label - it does not contain any sugar, gluten, grain, dairy, soy, egg or nuts.  The proprietary blend contains: Artemisia dracunculus (French Tarragon) contains a complex mixture of almost 50 different compounds which, amongst other properties, is known to inhibit the growth of several pathogenic bacteria and yeasts.  Tinaspora cordifolia (Indian Tinaspora) is a bitter herb that has been found to be inhibitory to both parasites and yeast.  Other herbal extracts, including Equisetum arvense (Horsetail), Olea europa (olive leaf), Thymus vulgaris (Thyme), Urtica dioica (Stinging nettle), and Tabeuia avellandae (Pau D'Arco).  Other ingredients: capsule shell (gelatin and water), cellulose and magnesium stearate (vegetable source).

Question 3

How many rounds (bottles) are necessary of this and dysbiocide in order to cure sibo? so far i’ve only purchased one bottle of each & feel about 50%

Accepted Answer

I have been taking these and other supplements for about a year. Like you I am 50%. I think to cure SIBO we would need to change the microbiome, like with a fecal transfusion. Relieving stress would help too.

Question 4

This product label warns that it may have lead in it. What would this be from?

Accepted Answer

I had the same question so I called my practitioner about this who told me to call a pharmacist, who told me to call the manufacturer. Thankfully when I called the manufacturer they said that according to California state law, any supplement containing any kind of herb must include a label warning of possible lead contamination because this can be a concern with herbs, but that there is no chance that the herbs in this supplement contain lead, but they need to include the label anyway to comply with California state law.
