Nature's Answer Golden Seal Root helps with stomach and intestinal problems. Goldenseal was considered a critical remedy for stomach and intestinal problems of all kinds by early 20th century Eclectic physicians (doctors who recommended herbs). Nature's Answer alcohol-free extracts are produced using alcohol, water and natural extractants. All alcohol and extractants are then removed through our Bio-Chelated proprietary process, yielding a Holistically Balanced standardized extract. Because of its anti-microbial activity, goldenseal has a long history of use for infectious diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and vaginal infections. Goldenseal is often recommended by herbalists in combination with echinacea for the treatment of colds and flu. Its benefits are most likely limited to helping ease the discomfort of a sore throat associated with these conditions. Usage: As a dietary supplement take 1ml (28 drops), 3 times a day in a small amount of water.
