Newer studies have found berberine has biological effects in several pathways in the body, indicating it may be a potential treatment for metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is hypothesized as beginning with an accumulation of lipids in nonadipose tissues, known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Berberine also has studies supporting its ability to reduce symptoms associated with NAFLD, as well as showing significant antidiabetic effects and lipid-lowering capability. Historically, berberine has been used for its antimicrobial activity, as berberine is active against a wide range of organisms including bacterial viruses, fungi, helminths, and chlamydia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nutritional Fundamentals for Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48230251299111,"sku":"1088","price":51.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/5693\/9559\/files\/image_8486ae5b-d8be-4a03-8f47-4bafb6f3d48b.jpg?v=1731463378"},{"product_id":"nfh-bifido-sap-60-capsule","title":"NFH Bifido SAP 60 Capsules","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBifidobacteria represent one of the major genera in the healthy intestinal tract of humans.

While it contains many antimicrobial capabilities, by far the most recognized is its anti-Candida action. Candida species are naturally found in the human digestive tract but they are well-known to be opportunistic, meaning that overgrowth is common with antibiotic use and other stressors.

More recent research has confirmed that perhaps one of the mechanisms involved in its success against \u003cem\u003eCandida albicans\u003c\/em\u003e is its ability to disrupt the protective biofilm. This is important because when \u003cem\u003eCandida albicans\u003c\/em\u003e develops a mature biofilm, it has been shown to be more than 1000x more resistant to antifungal medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a powerful alkaloid found in a number of plant species such as goldenseal, oregon grape and barberry. By far the most clinical research on berberine has been focused on its ability to improve insulin, blood sugar regulation and metabolic function. However, it has traditionally been delivered as a digestive tonic with broad-spectrum antimicrobial actions. Research has confirmed that berberine can effectively combat bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites through the inhibition of microbial growth, endotoxin formation, bacterial adhesion and viral replication. Clinical trials have shown that berberine can effectively treat symptoms of bacterial diarrhea and intestinal parasites. In addition, berberine can improve the integrity of tight junctions in the digestive tract and, therefore, positively affect intestinal permeability. Finally, berberine can regulate gastrointestinal motility and increase the endogenous production of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that provides fuel and anti-inflammatory support in the colon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOregano oil (\u003cem\u003eOreganum vulgare\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e has long been used as a potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, capable of warding off infections, strengthening the immune system and improving digestion. Oregano oil naturally contains a variety of antimicrobial compounds, including thymol, but the most notable active ingredient is carvacrol. Animal research has shown that oregano can increase survival rates in mice infected with \u003cem\u003eStaphylococcus aureus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCandida albicans\u003c\/em\u003e by 43% and 80% alive at 30 days, respectively.

The primary reason for this appears to be due to its significant tannin content, containing as much as 45% tannin concentration. Much like black walnut, \u003cstrong\u003eartemisia\u003c\/strong\u003e species have also been anecdotally and traditionally used as an antiparasitic agent. However, in contrast to \u003cem\u003eJuglans nigra\u003c\/em\u003e, artemisia has gained extensive attention in recent years as a validated primary treatment for uncomplicated malaria. The active ingredient responsible for this anti-malarial action is artemisinin, a bitter sesquiterpene lactone common to all artemisia species. \u003cem\u003eArtemisia absinthum\u003c\/em\u003e has now been studied to have not only antiparasitic action against plasmodium, leishmania and trichomonas species, but also antibacterial, antifungal and hepatoprotective capabilities.

Its phenolic and flavonoid compounds such as thymol, geraniol and thujanol are thought to be responsible for thyme’s anti-adhesive and bactericidal actions. Similar to clove extract, thyme is perhaps most valuable as an anti-biofilm agent because it can effectively combat resistant microbes with added protective measures for survival.

DGL has been studied for its ability to effectively treat the symptoms associated with damaged gastric and duodenal linings. Moreover, chewing DGL has also shown to have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and some evidence suggests that DGL can help to prevent damage to the digestive tract lining caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

We now understand that gut microflora dictates many aspects of our health status from digestive regularity and metabolic function to even mental health. At the same time, we are realizing that our microbiome is affected by changes in the external environment such as diet, geography, stress response and many kinds of medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile new and exciting research on the subject is ongoing, one thing is certain - it is very important to support a healthy microbiome for optimal human health.

While there are hundreds of bacterial species that populate the digestive tract, there are two dominant species of bacteria in humans. The most abundant species found in humans are the lactobacilli and bifidobacteria families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBifidobacteria are known to be important for providing a protective barrier to infection.

For patients with disrupted microflora, Lactobacilli is therapeutically important for the rapid recolonizing of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, thereby preventing harmful colonization by pathogenic bacteria. They are also therapeutically important for decreasing intestinal permeability and aiding nutrient assimilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific lactobacilli and bifidobacteria strains have been studied for their ability to improve the health of the digestive tract during acute times of stress. For example, \u003cem\u003eLactobacillus rhamnosus\u003c\/em\u003e has been studied extensively for the improvement of acute diarrhea in children and traveler’s diarrhea while numerous studies have supported the use of probiotics for reducing the frequency of antibiotic associated diarrhea. In addition, an important clinical application of probiotics exists for inflammatory bowel disease.
