A healthy digestive system is critical to our overall health. Billions of bacteria live and work in the intestines. These bacteria impact our metabolism, nutrient absorption, immune function, and so much more.
MaxLiving GI Balance contains a proprietary blend of botanicals that can help support a healthy microbial balance in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. †
The ingredients in GI Balance provide a broad spectrum of activity. These botanicals protect against the most common pathogens present in the human GI tract with dysbiosis (conditions where gut bacteria become imbalanced) and are relatively sparing of normal flora.
Each ingredient in GI Balance has a long history of use for supporting healthy gut flora. Research has shown that these unique botanicals possess a wide array of properties that can help support optimal gut bacteria balance, including antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antifungal activities.

A proprietary blend of botanicals that can help support a healthy microbial balance in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. | No other gut-support formula contains this unique botanical blend. |
Carefully chosen ingredients, including standardized herbs, provide a broad spectrum of activity to support a healthy balance of the normal flora, all in just one capsule. | Typically require multiple capsules. |
Also known as puncture vine. A member of the Zygophyllaceae family, this annual herb is found in many tropical and moderate areas of the world, including the US and Mexico, the Mediterranean region, and throughout Asia. | ||
A bitter-tasting, yellow, plant alkaloid with a long history of medicinal use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. | ||
Demonstrates significant antimicrobial effects and has been traditionally used even in the treatment of malaria. Historically used to treat parasitic gastrointestinal infections. Derived from the inner bark (wood) of the Artemesia annua tree and it kills parasites (worms), therefore it became known by the common name of wormwood./span> | ||
A Has a long history of use as an intestinal anti-parasitic in botanical medicine. It also possesses activity against common bacterial and fungal pathogens that occur in GI dysbiosis. | ||
Grown throughout Asia, North America, and Europe and has a long history of medicinal use dating back to the 13th Century. Arbutin, the main chemical constituent of uva ursi, is a phenolic glycoside that becomes hydrolyzed to hydroquinone. Other active constituents include tannins, mono and triterpenes, and flavonoids. /span> | ||
The common name for the eight-carbon straight chain fatty acid known by the systematic name octanoic acid. It is found naturally in palm and coconut oil, and in breast milk. |
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Billions of bacteria live and work in the intestines. These bacteria impact metabolism, nutrient absorption, immune function, and so much more. Among their roles, these bacteria ferment foods, prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, work to manufacture hormones, produce vitamins such as K, B12, and other B vitamins.
The presence of specific bacteria can even impact weight management. (2) When these gut bacteria fall out of balance, a condition called dysbiosis can result. Dysbiosis can lead to intestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and celiac disease. The problems eventually extend beyond the gut. Dysbiois has been linked to numerous conditions including allergies, asthma, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
Seventy percent of the body’s immune system resides in the digestive tract. Bacteria in the gut serve as a line of resistance against invasive bacteria that can damage immune health.
Fostering the healthy bacteria that live in the gut is critical for overall health. MaxLiving GI Balance is a proprietary blend of botanicals that can help support a healthy microbial balance in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Each ingredient in this product has a long history of use for supporting healthy gut flora:
- Tribulus has antimicrobial effects against staphylococcus aureus, enterococcus, E coli, proteus mirabilis, streptococcus species, and other organisms.
- Clinical evidence supports berberine’s use in the treatment of bacterial diarrhea.
- Berberine has antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, helminths (worms), and chlamydia.
- Artemisinin shows significant antimicrobial effects. It has been traditionally used in the treatment of malaria.
- Artemisinin has a particular historic use of being used to treat parasitic GI infections.
- Black Walnut Extract has a long history of use as an intestinal anti-parasitic in botanical medicine.
- Arbutin, the main chemical constituent of uva ursi (Bearberry Extract), becomes hydrolyzed to hydroquinone. Both chemicals contribute to the antiseptic effects in the urinary and GI tracts.
- Arbutin alone may relieve pain from kidney stones, cystitis, and nephritis.
- Caprylic acid is effective against candidiasis and bacterial infections.
- The lactoperoxidase system in combination with caprylic acid can inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in food.
What disrupts a healthy gut?
Many things that we are exposed to daily – exposure to antibiotics, poor diet, infection, and stress – can compromise the good gastrointestinal bacteria and disrupt the microbial balance.
Are there any conditions that I should talk with my healthcare practitioner about before using GI Balance?
Always talk with your healthcare practitioner before using any supplement. That said, the berberine in GI Balance has certain effects that you should be aware of: Berberine might lower blood pressure. Berberine has a hypoglycaemic effect. Berberine might decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Talk with your healthcare practitioner before using GI Balance, especially if you are on blood pressure medications, diabetic medications, or other medications; and/ or if you have low blood pressure.
