An infection is defined by a colony of disease-causing organisms establishing a home within the body. One of the most common types of infections is a bacterial infection. Bacteria are very tiny microorganisms that are visible under microscopic examination. Even though the medical research community has closely studied bacteria, their dangerous presence has not been lessened. While improved sanitation has helped reduce or eradicate certain deadly diseases such as the bubonic plague, cholera, typhoid fever and tuberculosis, bacterial infections are nevertheless prevalent. They have been closely tied to everything from atopic dermatitis to hives and bladder infections. Bacteria have a very powerful and detrimental effect upon the normal maintenance and function of the entire immune system. Once this deleterious effect has set in, numerous secondary opportunistic microorganisms can exert their negative damage. This is why numerous types of infections can have their base root cause in bacteria.

Elimination of potentially dangerous bacteria along with reestablishing optimum immune system function is crucial. Bacterial Detox is ideal for the natural treatment of bacteria and the rebuilding of immune system function.

Tzyme^TM is a trademark of a proprietary blend of highly active, pH balanced, GI tract stable and functional enzymes formulated to enhance the digestive process and impart systemic benefits.

Formulation Rationale:

Goldenseal Root (Hydrastis canadensis): A strong antimicrobial root, goldenseal contains berberine and rhizome that have wide spectrum antibiotic activity. This root targets mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts.

Barberry Root (Berberis vulgaris): Barberry is a natural occurring source of Vitamin C that has antibacterial activity.

Oregon Grape Root (Berberis aquifolium): The widespread antibiotic capabilities of this root make it very effective against reoccurring infections.

Echinacea Root (Echinacea augustifolia): A powerful supporter of the immune system, the actions of this root increase the white blood cell, lymphocytes and macrophage numbers and activities. Echinacea also increases the production of interferon.

Pau d'Arco Bark (Tabebuia heptaphylla): This bark increases interferon levels and helps protect the body against infections.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): The many antimicrobial activities of this vitamin includes stimulation of the immune system, increase of interferon levels, increase of the white blood cell count and protection against infections.

Magnesium (as Magnesium Malate): A mineral that improves the body's energy production and ability to fight off infections.

Tzyme^TM Protease Blend: The potent antibiotic abilities of this proprietary blend of enzymes aids in the lysis, targeting and absorption of all plant-based substances. These enzymes bind with free-floating proteins which limit their destructive tendencies. This allows for maximum absorption of all nutrients.

Tzyme^TM Polysaccharolytic Blend: This proprietary blend of enzymes facilitates the digestion of all carbohydrates and ensures the absorption of minerals by preventing the chelating effects of phytates, pectinates and oxalates.
