Paracid Forte (90 caps) by Orthomolecular

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

• Supports Healthy Microbial Balance in the GI Tract
• Supports Healthy Immune Function

OVERVIEW

Gastrointestinal health is directly affected by factors, such as exposure to microbes, poor diet and a stressful lifestyle, that can negatively impact immune function. The prevalence of refined sugars and carbohydrates and the low presence of fiber in the modern diet has been directly linked to the alteration of the colonic environment. Since the body’s immune system is a complex and dynamic defense system, healthy microbial balance and antioxidant support help ensure more optimal immune function.

The ingredients in Paracid Forte support healthy microbial balance in the GI tract by supplying botanicals shown to create a hostile environment for microbes.

Suggested Use:

1 capsule three times per day or as recommended by your health care professional
