How the course works?
SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) is
a recognised medical condition, but it's not the only imbalance that can have exactly the same kind of symptoms, so before starting this course you might want to read our article that discusses the differences between SIBO / SIFO and IBS.
Although it might seem that our Anti-SIBO product is all that you need, and many people have had some great results, there are reasons why Anti-SIBO taken with a combination of other products might give you even better results.
Unlike some of our other treatment plans, we don’t build up the programme each week. Instead, you’ll be taking Anti-SIBO alongside Triple HCL (or Optimized Enzymes for vegans or vegetarians) and REZCUE for the full 6-weeks. Here we’ll look at why this combination can be so effective.
Anti-SIBO
How to take:
3 capsules a day (taken with a meal) for the 6-week program
Why it's effective against SIBO
Natural antibiotic compounds in garlic extract and oil of oregano selectively kill harmful bacteria that cause SIBO. And our stomach acid resistant capsules deliver these directly to small intestine.
Oregano oil
Oregano oil, a diluted extract from the Origanum vulgare plant, offers several health benefits due to its potent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties (each capsule contains 36mg of Carvacrol). It can also help fight certain bacteria, act as an antifungal agent, and reduce inflammation.
Anti-SIBO
How to take:
Take 3 Anti-SIBO capsules a day (taken with a meal) for the 6-week program
Why it's effective against SIBO
Natural antibiotic compounds in garlic extract and oil of oregano selectively kill harmful bacteria that cause SIBO. And our stomach acid resistant capsules deliver these directly to small intestine.
Garlic extract
In addition to its antimicrobial properties, garlic positively impacts gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while suppressing harmful bacteria.
Garlic's anti-inflammatory properties further aid gut health by reducing inflammation. In addition each capsule also contains 5000 mcg of Allicin, which acts as an antibiotic.
Triple HCL
How to take:
- Take 1 Triple HCL capsule with a smaller meal.
- Take 2 Triple HCL capsules if the meal is higher in protein and/or fat.
Why it's effective against SIBO
Not having enough stomach acid makes you that much more susceptible to ingesting bad bacteria, which can be one of the primary causes of SIBO.
Please note, Triple HCL is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. Click on the "Vegans & Vegetarians" link below for how to use Optimized Enzymes as an alternative.
For vegans & vegetarians only
Optimized Enzymes
How to take:
Take one Optimized Enzymes capsule three times a day with a meal.
Why it's effective against SIBO
Optimized Enzymes can help you digest foods much faster than if your system was left to its own devices (especially if your digestive system is not at 100%).
Optimized Enzymes can be a very helpful support if you don’t have the proper nutrient stores to ensure that stomach acid, liver bile, and pancreatic enzymes are being produced in high enough supply.
When food isn’t broken down properly prior (or upon arrival) to the small intestines, it gives unwanted bacteria a robust food source.
REZCUE
How to take:
- Mix one scoop (2.5g) of powder into cold or warm liquid and take twice daily, in the morning and in the evening.
- REZCUE works best taken in empty stomach, but if you feel any discomfort you can take it with small amount of food as well.
Why it's effective against SIBO
REZCUE's combination of Zinc Carnosine and L-Glutamine is highly effective at targeting and treating inflammation, leaky gut and symptoms of IBD and IBS. These can be commonly associated with SIBO.
