Biofilm breakers

Biofilm breakers

Some microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeasts and parasites, can protect themselves from the immune system and antimicrobial agents by forming a slimy layer: the biofilm. This biofilm ensures that infections can become chronic and that supplements or medications do not penetrate sufficiently. In this collection you will find supplements that are specifically formulated to tackle or break down biofilms.

Breaking biofilms is often an important step in gut healing, tackling persistent pathogens or reducing inflammation. The products in this collection contain enzymes, herbs or other substances that can disrupt or dissolve biofilms.

What you will find in this collection

• Systemic enzymes
  Such as serrapeptase, nattokinase or lumbrokinase — they have a decongestant and biofilm-dissolving effect.
• Herbal extracts
  Think of oregano oil, garlic extract (allicin), berberine, cloves or myrrh.
• EDTA or other chelators
  Can bind metals that are part of the biofilm structure.
• Quorum sensing blockers
  Substances that disrupt communication between microorganisms.
• Formulas specially developed for biofilm support
  Often in combination with antimicrobials, prebiotics or probiotics.

Indications for use

• Chronic bacterial or fungal infections
• Intestinal complaints involving candida, SIBO or parasites
• In preparation for an anti-pathogenic protocol
• In combination with antimicrobials for increased effectiveness
