Grapefruit Seed Extract by Pure Encapsulations is derived as the name implies, from the seeds of grapefruit. It is a powerful antimicrobial agent that may be used as a natural alternative against bacteria, viruses and yeasts. It may also help to improve the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut.
- Antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal activity
- May help to break down the biofilms that can form around communities of bacteria
- May be effective against candida Albicans
- May improve the microbiome by balancing pathogenic organisms
- Antioxidant action
With its antimicrobial and antibacterial activity, Grapefruit Seed Extract has gained interest as a potentially effective alternative to antibiotics in some situations, and this is especially of interest as bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. (Han et al. 2021; Heggers et al. 2002) It has been found to be effective even at low concentrations.
Suggested use is 1-3 capsules daily.
*Grapefruit seed extract does not generally carry the same risks as grapefruit in relation to interactions with medications, with the exception of some blood thinners. Nevertheless, it is always good to check with your pharmacist before taking any supplements alongside prescription medication.
