Uses For A.P. Formula®:
Optimal Gut Ecology: The herbal extracts found in A.P. Formula® have each been used for hundreds of years to help support intestinal, urinary and female reproductive tracts. Berberine is a quaternary alkaloid that may support healthy immune system function and upper respiratory tract health. Studies suggest that berberine may also promote fungal and microbial balance, as well as support healthy digestion and GI comfort. Ginger and gentian also promote healthy GI function, in part by supporting gastric juice production. Garlic and quassia extracts help to promote healthy microflora and optimal gut ecology.
