Ingredients explained
Oleuropein (from Olive leaf extract)
Oleuropein provides phenolic compounds that may help modulate microbial balance and support antioxidant activity in cells.
Caution: May interact with blood pressure or blood sugar management; monitor how you feel and consult a professional if you use related medications.
Garlic (bulb)
Garlic supplies organosulfur compounds like allicin that are studied for influencing microbial balance and supporting immune function.
Caution: May increase bleeding tendency, especially with anticoagulants or before surgery.
Goldenseal (root)
Goldenseal provides berberine-like alkaloids that may influence microbial balance and support mucous membrane health.
Caution: May interact with medications and is not advised during pregnancy or for prolonged high-dose use.
Uva ursi (leaf)
Uva ursi provides arbutin, which converts to hydroquinone derivatives that may influence urinary tract microbial balance.
Caution: Not for long-term use; may not be suitable during pregnancy or if you have kidney concerns.
Cordyceps (fruiting body)
Cordyceps contains polysaccharides and nucleosides that are studied for modulating immune activity and supporting energy metabolism.
Caution: May interact with immune-modulating therapies; discontinue if unusual symptoms occur.
How they work together
Oleuropein offers broad microbial and antioxidant support, while garlic and goldenseal add complementary botanical compounds that act on microbial balance through different pathways. Uva ursi focuses on the urinary tract environment, and cordyceps supports immune modulation, creating a multi-pronged approach to daily microbial balance.
