LEARN MORE Ingredient Mechanisms of Action Scientific literature shows that the individual botanicals in Biocidin ® TS have multiple activities. Below are highlights that may account for the outcomes seen in a clinical setting. Supports Microbial Balance – Almost all of the botanicals in Biocidin® impact unwanted microorganisms in the microbiome, while also selectively enhancing beneficial microorganisms. Black Walnut, Garlic, Golden Seal, Lavender, and Oregano are well documented in this category, however, Fumitory, Noni, and Bilberry also play an important role in broad-spectrum activity. Biofilm Disruptor – The botanicals in Biocidin® work in five different ways to inhibit biofilms. Inhibition of Quorum Sensing (intercellular communication initiating the production of a biofilm) – Bilberry, Bladderwrack, Garlic, Golden Seal, Oregano Inhibition of Initial Attachment Phase – Bilberry, Grape seed, Lavender, Oregano, Tea Tree, Thyme Inhibition of Swarming Motility (the movement of a microorganism via flagella) – Bilberry, Grape Seed Disruption of the Microbial Lipid Bi-layer (disabling cellular activity) –Black Walnut, Bladderwrack, Garlic, Golden Seal, Raspberry Efflux Pump Inhibition (a mechanism for resistance, and biofilm production) - Black Walnut, Bilberry, Echinacea, Garlic, Gentian, Golden Seal, Grape seed, Lavender, Mushroom, Oregano, Shiitake, Tea Tree Immunomodulatory – Immunomodulation provides the benefit of simultaneously supporting healthy immune activity against unwanted organisms, while downregulating damaging inflammatory pathways. Several botanicals in Biocidin® – Echinacea, Noni, and Shiitake – achieve this with a range of activities, including enhancing humoral immunity (T cells and B cells), acting on the innate immune response (macrophages, natural killer cells), and beneficially modifying cytokine release. Supports Healthy Inflammatory Response – Biocidin® assists normalized inflammation in several ways. Research shows 13 of the 18 botanicals in Biocidin® support a healthy inflammatory response. Of note, Galbanum is a unique resinous ingredient mentioned in the most ancient herbal texts of Hippocrates and has similar activity to Frankincense. Noni is prized in Polynesian cultures for its remarkable ability to assist immune balance. Addressing Dysbiosis – Dysbiosis causes the production of mediators such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), activating TLR4 receptors and the detrimental downstream cascade, affecting the whole body. Antioxidant – Most of the ingredients in Biocidin® have antioxidant activity, which helps protect the body by neutralizing free radicals. Of note are Bilberry, Grape seed, and Noni extract with their high levels of oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs), known to support cellular health and tissue repair.   Statements contained herein have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
