Solgar Goldenseal Root Extract 60 Vcaps

General Description :

Goldenseal exerts broad-spectrum anti-bacterial activity against many potentially harmful bacteria. This is due to its high content of alkaloids - berberine, hydrastine and palmatine. It is utilised in conditions of yeast overgrowth such as Candida albicans due to its anti-fungal activity. Goldenseal has also been shown to exert anti-parasitic activity against many parasites. These three broad properties warrants Goldenseal serious consideration where the growth of pathogenic organisms is as issue. Goldenseal is probably one of the best herbs to choose for bacterial infections of any kind. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Goldenseal also exerts a soothing and healing effect upon mucous membranes. It is thus also frequently used in sinus, intestinal and urinary tract infections. The alkaloids in Goldenseal may also help support the immune system by raising white blood cell activity. It is commonly combined with Echinacea to help prevent the frequency and duration of colds and flu. All standardised full potency herbs are combined with a mix of compounds with antioxidant properties to help maintain the herb's freshness, stability and integrity. These include: Mixed Tocopherols; Mixed Carotenoids; Rosemary Extract; Vitamin C.
