Paracid Forte
Ortho Molecular Products
Overview
Paracid Forte combines several botanicals known for their potential antimicrobial and gut-supportive properties. While individual ingredients like Berberine and Artemisinin have strong evidence for certain applications, the specific dosages and synergistic effects for a broad 'microbial balance' claim are not as robustly established in this combination. The product's effectiveness will largely depend on the specific underlying issues being addressed and individual responses to the botanical blend.

The Bad
Key ingredient dosages (Berberine, Artemisinin, Olive Leaf Extract) are lower than those typically used in clinical studies for significant effects, especially when taken as one capsule three times daily as suggested.
Not suitable for pregnant or nursing individuals due to potential risks associated with Sweet Wormwood/Artemisia annua.
Potential for gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea.
