Antimicrobial Agents (SIBO Eradication)
Berberine HCl (97%), a potent, broad-spectrum, evidence-based antimicrobial known to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce pathogenic bacteria.
Artemisia Annua (30:1), included for its oils and phytochemicals, with significant scientific studies suggesting it is particularly effective against hydrogen-producing bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Klebsiella) associated with IBS and SIBO.

Cat's Claw (3%-plus alkaloids), best-selling evidence-based rainforest herb used to reduce chronic inflammation and modulate immune function within the intestinal mucosa.
Intestinal Barrier/Mucosal Support
ButyrEn Tri-butyric Acid. A scientifically validated short-chain fatty acid that serves as the primary energy source for colonocytes, promoting structural integrity and reducing gut inflammation.
Slippery Elm (Inner Bark). A traditional mucilaginous herb that forms a protective, soothing barrier over the mucosal lining, reducing irritation. It has long been associated with gastrointestinal healing 
and relief and many scientific studies back up traditional use. Read more, below.
Slippery elm is one of the finest and most valuable medicines in the herbal world. The powder made into a mucilage beverage or gruel is a bland and nutritive food for babies, the elderly, or convalescents (it possesses as much nutrition as oatmeal, and is an excellent sustaining food). The slippery elm is considered as one of nature's finest demulcents. It is especially efficient in absorbing noxious gases and neutralizing any acidity in the stomach.
Because of its mucilaginous nature, it insures easy passage during the processes of assimilation and elimination. Its action is so gentle that it can be retained by delicate stomachs when other substances will be rejected.
As a poultice, the slippery elm is one of herbal medicines greatest remedies in soothing injured or inflamed parts. This was an important botanical medicine and food for both the American Indians and pioneers.
