Are you sick and tired of the endless discomfort and embarrassment that comes from living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?
Well, you’re in good company.
In fact, more than 25 million folks in the United States ALONE battle the diarrhea, constipation, and gastrointestinal stress of this frustrating condition.
But now, new research has uncovered a natural IBS solution hiding right under our noses this entire time.
And this powerful pair could FINALLY deliver the symptom relief you’ve been waiting for.
In a groundbreaking new study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers revealed that taking a supplement containing the potent anti-inflammatory herbs berberine (200 mg) and curcumin (49 mg) twice daily for two months can effectively “ERASE” some of the most disturbing IBS symptoms.
Study participants had significant decreases in…
- abdominal discomfort,
- bloating,
- and diarrhea.
Berberine is a compound extracted from plants like barberry and the Chinese herb, Coptis chinensis. And curcumin is the active compound in turmeric.
The two extracts work synergistically (together) to regulate the gut microbiome and reduce intestinal inflammation.
Other studies found that berberine can help regulate digestion, while curcumin improves the health and integrity of the intestinal lining.
These powerful benefits make this combo effective at tackling IBS symptoms head-on.
And we’re not talking about a minor improvement here, either. Volunteers who took the berberine/curcumin supplement reported a staggering 50 percent improvement in abdominal discomfort, bloating, and overall quality of life.
Furthermore, these folks experienced more normal bowel movements, giving them a sense of regularity and control they may have thought was lost forever.
Perhaps most impressively, nearly two-thirds of the participants found that they no longer needed medications to manage their IBS symptoms!
Both berberine and curcumin are affordable and available as standalone supplements anywhere nutritional products are sold. So, go ahead and ask your doctor if this combo is right for you.
P.S. Are these six drugs CAUSING IBS?!
