Description
Additionally, goldenseal has been used as a bitter to aid digestion and as a mild laxative. The beneficial effects of goldenseal are attributed to alkaloids isolated from the plant compound. One of those alkaloids, berberine, is added as part of the formulation for Ultra MFP Forte, acting as a complimentary ingredient to goldenseal.
Ultra MFP Forte contains grapefruit and olive leaf extract, which are a source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are critical for the maintenance of good health as they are able to scavenge free radicals in the body, decreasing the potential damaging effects to things like cellular membranes and DNA.
Black walnut and burdock, ingredients in Ultra MFP Forte are herbs traditionally used in Herbal Medicine.
