Red Thyme oil (thymus vulgaris)
RedThyme has strong antimicrobial properties that can help kill off bacterial and fungal overgrowth when formulated in a way that ensures the delicate balance and stability of this powerful essential oil as in Fix No1.

Oregano Oil (origanum vulgare, providing carvacrol)
Oregano Oil has been found to have a broad antimicrobial spectrum effect that can work to reduce bacterial overgrowth in the gut. It may also benefit gut health by assisting in the restoration of the tight junctions in the intestines and has long been used in Chinese medicine. These junctions often become loose in individuals suffering from SIBO and Candida which can result in a condition called leaky gut (link leaky gut product here)

Sage leaf (salvia officinalis)
Sage leaf has anti-inflammatory properties and aids in smooth functioning of the digestive system. Sage has been used for treating intestinal cramps, flatulence and indigestion for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine.

Lemon Balm leaf extract (melissa officinalis)
Lemon balm is gastro-protective, and its active ingredient that has anti-inflammatory effects and has been shown to improve digestive symptoms.
Lemon balm helps reduce stress and brain fog promoting a stable mood and sense of well-being.

Peppermint Oil
Our gut contains lots of smooth muscle tissue to ensure the healthy digesting of foods. Peppermint oil is a kind of antispasmodics used to relieve muscle spasms. It eases the symptoms such as cramping, bloating, and excessive farting (flatulence) and can reduce nausea.

Chinese Rhubarb root and rhizome (rheum officinale)
Rhubarb can assist in restoring gut microbiota balance, restore disrupted flora, and prevent microbiota shift. Rhubarb has positive effects on intestinal immune activity and our gut makes up a largest portion of our immune system..

Coptis root and rhizome extract (coptis chinensis, containing berberine)
Coptis root has been used to promote healthy digestive and microbial environments. Berberine alkaloids in Coptis have been researched for their influence on microbes in the gut.

Indian Barberry root extract (berberis aristata, containing berberine)
Indian Barberry has potent antimicrobial activity against major gastrointestinal pathogens.

Berberine Sulfate
Berberine modulates the composition of the Gastrointestinal Microbiota. It can also limits Gastrointestinal Microbiota variety by affecting the relative concentrations of specific microbes in our digestive tracts. Berberine has favourable effects on the intestinal immune cells and impacts the expression of multiple intestinal immunity components for SIBO treatment.

Chinese Skullcap root (scutellaria baicalensis)
The skullcap assists in calming and nourishing the nerve area of the digestive tract and reducing spasms, pain, and bloating safely and effectively.

Ginger rhizome (zingiber officinale)
Ginger rhizome helps alleviate these SIBO symptoms by protecting the stomach from oxidative stress-induced damage.

Chinese Licorice root (glycyrrhiza uralensis)
Liquorice root has antimicrobial properties. It also helps relieve symptoms of indigestion including acid reflux, upset stomach, and heartburn.

Chinese Rhubarb root and rhizome (rheum officinale)
Rhubarb is used for digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhoea, heartburn and stomach pain. Rhubarb is also an effective antimicrobial.

Dill Seed
Dill seed aids peristaltic action by eliminating wastes from the body, making it an effective constipation treatment. Additionally, the herb’s antacid characteristic reduces the creation of excessive acids in the stomach, which helps cure indigestion, ulcers, and gastritis while promoting improved nutritional absorption.

Glutamine
L-Glutamine nourishes and supports gut cell regeneration which occurs every 48hrs. L-Glutamine is a major fuel source for enterocytes (intestinal cells and brain cells). L-glutamine is a unique amino acid that serves countless major functions in your body. L-glutamine has been widely studied and found to support gut health.

• Supports muscle mass
• Fuels the cells of the gut to function probably
• Supports the integrity of the gut lining
• Reduction in bloating

Zinc
A lack of zinc is directly linked to damage of the gut membrane barrier. Studies have shows that zinc can assist in tightening a leaky gut.
Zinc also supports:

• Immune system
• Gut health
• Gut linning
• Thyroid function
• Reduction in bloating
• Skin health

DGL Licorice
DGL licorice soothes your stomach lining and supports adrenal glands. The licorice we formulate with is deglycyrrhizinated. This means it has minimal effect on your blood pressure compared to regular licorice and is safer for long-term use.
DGL licorice supports:

• Reduction in acid reflux
• Mucus lining production in the stomach and intestines
• Reduction in heart burn
• Healing of ulcers
• Reduction in bloating

Marshmallow root
Marshmallow root has been studied and found to improve mucous membrane health.

• Coats the digestive tract with a protective lining to support a balanced inflammatory response in the gut
• Restore cell junctions
• Soothe the stomach lining
• Promote regular bowel movements

Quercetin
Quercetin can enhance intestinal barrier function and modulates gut microbiota composition. The activities of tight junction proteins at the gut epithelium enhance barrier functions and reduce inflammation, protecting the host from colonic diseases. Quercetin is a naturally occurring free radical scavenger that supports healthy immune system function. Studies suggests that quercetin affects the progress of microbiota-associated diseases. Notably, quercetin supplementation increased gut microbial diversity, which may improve gut protection.
