Isabelle's Intestinal Defense - 2 fl oz (59 mL)

Isabelle's Intestinal Defense Focused Intestinal Support* 4 Focused Botanicals Short-Term Formula 2 fl oz (59 mL) When your gut suddenly turns upside down, you know it.* Intestinal Defense is Isabelle's focused, short-term herbal formula for times when intestinal or digestive discomfort comes on suddenly and your gut feels distinctly unsettled.* It contains only four botanicals: Neem Bark, Garlic, Ethiopian Pepper and Cloves. The compact ingredient list is intentional. These four traditional botanicals are brought together in a concentrated tincture for focused intestinal and digestive support when you need it.* A Deliberately Focused Formula Intestinal Defense does not try to cover every digestive need with a long ingredient list. Neem Bark, Garlic, Ethiopian Pepper and Cloves make up a compact four-botanical formula. Each has its own history in traditional herbal use, and together they give Intestinal Defense its focused character.* The point is not how many ingredients can fit on the label. It is a concentrated combination of four deliberately chosen botanicals for short-term intestinal and digestive support.* Four Herbs. Chosen for a Reason.* Each ingredient has a strong traditional identity of its own. Several have also attracted significant modern scientific interest for their naturally occurring compounds and antimicrobial activity. The Foundation Neem Bark Neem has been valued for centuries in traditional herbal systems, including traditions concerned with digestive and intestinal wellness. Neem bark and other neem-derived extracts have also demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal and other antimicrobial activity in laboratory research.* Pungent Herbal Power Garlic Garlic has a long history in digestive and traditional wellness preparations. Its naturally occurring sulfur chemistry, particularly compounds associated with allicin, has also been extensively studied for antimicrobial activity.* African Herbal Tradition Ethiopian Pepper Ethiopian Pepper, Xylopia aethiopica, is an aromatic African spice and traditional botanical unfamiliar to many American customers. Extracts of the plant have also demonstrated antimicrobial activity in laboratory research.* Eugenol-Rich Aromatic Cloves Cloves have been used for centuries in culinary, digestive and traditional wellness preparations. They are naturally rich in eugenol, an aromatic plant compound widely studied for antibacterial, antifungal and other antimicrobial activity.* A note about the research: Published laboratory and preclinical studies on individual botanicals and their naturally occurring compounds have reported antimicrobial activity. Human clinical evidence for many of these uses remains limited, and research on individual ingredients does not establish that the finished Intestinal Defense tincture has been proven to treat infection or disease.

Net contents: 2 fl oz (59 mL) Frequently Asked Questions When would I choose Intestinal Defense? + Think of Intestinal Defense when digestive or intestinal discomfort comes on suddenly and your gut feels distinctly unsettled.* It is the focused, short-term response formula in Isabelle's digestive range. Do I have to start Intestinal Defense at the very first signs? + Starting promptly when possible is ideal, which is why the directions recommend use at the first signs of digestive discomfort.* But that does not mean you have missed the window if discomfort is already underway. The first-day schedule refers to your first day using the formula. Begin when you can and follow the label directions from that point.* Is Intestinal Defense mainly for nausea? + Not specifically. Intestinal Defense is intended for broader intestinal and digestive discomfort rather than nausea alone.* If the primary concern is simply a sensitive or mildly unsettled stomach, a gentler digestive product may be a better fit. How is Intestinal Defense different from Digestive Tonic? + Digestive Tonic is the broader digestive formula for digestion that feels slow, heavy, bloated or generally uncomfortable.* Intestinal Defense is the more focused, short-term formula for times when intestinal or digestive discomfort comes on suddenly and the gut feels distinctly unsettled.* Why are there only four herbs? + The compact formula is intentional. Neem Bark, Garlic, Ethiopian Pepper and Cloves each have their own traditional herbal identity and are brought together in a focused four-botanical formula rather than simply adding ingredients to make a longer supplement label.* Have the ingredients been studied for antimicrobial activity? + Yes. Neem-derived extracts, garlic and its sulfur compounds, Ethiopian Pepper extracts, and clove compounds such as eugenol have all been studied for antimicrobial activity. Much of this research is laboratory or preclinical research, and it does not establish that the finished Intestinal Defense tincture treats an infection or disease. How do I take Intestinal Defense? + Shake well before use. Add 1 teaspoon to 2 oz of water. For best results, use at the first signs of symptoms and every 2 hours the first day. Then use 3 times daily for 3 days, according to the label directions.* Does Intestinal Defense contain alcohol? + Yes. Intestinal Defense contains 40% alcohol, used as the extraction and preservation medium for the herbs. Does it come with a dropper? + No. Intestinal Defense comes in a 2 fl oz amber glass bottle with a standard screw cap. The serving size is measured by teaspoon.
