NutraMedixNutra BBS - Liquid Herbal Supplement for Digestive & Immune Support - Elecampane Root & BlackBerry Leaves Extract for Gut Health - Immunity Booster Supplement (60mL)

Nutramedix is a fine line of herbals with an outstanding reputation. I decided to try this as an addition to my personal protocol for my gut. For me, the only thing that would make this better is if they made alcohol free versions of their herbals. While they won't last as long, there are some of us who are sensitive to the alcohol. Regardless, this is a company I trust for quality and effectiveness.

This herbal digestive supplement comes in a 60 mL bottle good for about 1 month of use. Firstly and primarily this supplement tastes really bad toMe and leaves a heavy aftertaste. I have a number of other liquid supplements and they all have good flavors, but this one tastes terrible. Because of this it is hard for me to continue using this. I would recommend adding to a fruity juice to hide the supplements poor taste. I would suggest you consider other digestive supplements out there, liquids that taste good or capsules that you and swallow without an aftertaste.

My interest in Nutra-Bbs is for better digestion.The liquid is to be taken 30 minutes before meals.> Shake - then add 2 drops to 4oz water and let sit one minute.before drinking.> Start with 2 drops and increase 2 drops with each dose up to 60 drops. - twice daily.The label states the 2oz bottle is 20 servings.With the above instructions I'm not sure how they figure that.I'm only up to 10 drops so it's to soon to say how effective yet.I will say - while it tastes bad by itself - the 10 drops is not noticed in water.This is a proprietary blend of 4 plant based ingredients in mineral water and ethanol.Made with herb and bark from Elecampane root - Jalapa root - Blackberry leaves -and Capirona bark (Calycophyllum)In some reading it's mentioned that Elecampane root is a good anti inflammatoryand supportive of the respiratory system. Besides beneficial for digestive.> Jalapa root which is often used to empty and cleanse the bowels.> Blackberry leaves have been used a long time for diarrhea and hemorrhoids.> Capirona bark - has anti fungal properties.The ingredients seem to be good and anti inflammatoryfor immune and digestion support.

I've been working with a doctor to get some digestive and chronic health issues under control and I've used some other Nutramedix products at my doctor's recommendation so I was curious to try this one. Its the first time I've done my own research on Nutramedix and was impressed with their website and how well it explains where each ingredient is sourced, why it is used, and even has supporting research documentation. They also do a great job of transparency with their manufacturing and quality control testing. I wish every supplement were this well explained and documented.This supplement seems to be mainly for supporting digestion and the inflammatory response that people might experience who have had problems with Lyme, co-infections, or other microbial diseases. The recommended dose is to start with 2 drops and work up to as many as 60, twice a day, as needed. So far, I think it's helping at a relatively small dose (20 drops) twice a day. I notice that the mixture does separate so its important to shake it and THEN use the dropper to make sure that the drops are well mixed (or shake and then squeeze the dropper a couple of times to make sure you have a new dropper full.)

Amazon keeps rejecting my comprehensive review though I can't tell how it could possibly go against guidelines. So here is a filler review.
