CandiBactin-BR
Metagenics
Overview
CandiBactin-BR combines berberine HCl with several herbal extracts traditionally used for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The berberine dosage may provide some metabolic benefits. The proprietary blend makes it difficult to fully assess the product's overall effectiveness. While each ingredient has some clinical support, the specific combination requires further research.
