Discover herbal insights and take an up-close look at plants, dietary supplements, and wellness solutions with our in-house herbalist, Michele Milligan.   We asked Michele to answer some of our customers' frequently asked questions. Check out her latest response below!  Q: What are your favorite immune-supportive herbs, and which BioPure formulas contain them?   A: My favorite immune-supportive herbs are turmeric and ginger. These two herbs have a gastrointestinal focus, which is, in my opinion, critical for supporting all other systems of the body.   Turmeric and ginger support the GI tract, healthy liver function, and the body's oxidative pathways. Fortifying the focus areas ensures the body can combat unwanted microbes, optimize liver detoxification pathways, and maintain balanced immune function.    Our CurcuSyn formula contains turmeric and ginger, Oregon grape extract for added immune benefits, and black pepper for optimal absorption. These potent ingredients are rich in immune-supportive polyphenols that promote immune system regulation and gastrointestinal function and provide a powerful punch against imbalanced microbes.*   *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Garlic is a wellness-boosting powerhouse and go-to strategy for supporting immune, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal functions. But what makes this pungent bulb so beneficial?  The simple answer is a potent compound called allicin. When garlic is crushed or chewed, the enzyme alliinase converts alliin to the more active compound, allicin. It passes through the digestive tract and makes its way through the entire body, providing highly potent biological effects.  Allicin is also responsible for garlic’s pungent taste and aroma. One of the best ways to increase your allicin intake is to consume raw garlic cloves that have been crushed or sliced. However, most people don’t enjoy the unwanted side effects of eating fresh garlic, such as the ‘burning’ sensation experienced after biting into a clove of raw garlic, not to mention unpleasant breath.  High Allicin Garlic capsules provide dynamic, foundational wellness benefits. Each capsule contains high levels of allicin, a powerful organosulfur compound that provides broad-spectrum wellness benefits.   High Allicin Garlic Benefits  Supports microbiome diversity and detoxification pathways*  Helps maintain normalized cholesterol levels*    Supports immune function and overall well-being*  *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
