Klaire Labs Interfase enzyme supplement

[Guest guest]

One of my health care practitioners recommended this product to me:

(Is it okay to post a link like this?)

[Moderator: Yes, your style of posting this is fine.]

She recommended it to me because I have Lyme and she's heard it's

helpful for Lyme (she just started carrying this product so does

not have personal experience with it). Obviously it should be

helpful for biofilm in general, not just Lyme biofilm.

I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it or has comments.

I expect it will cause me die-off (bromelain was very tough for

me), so I've not started it yet myself.

Thanks, Amy

[Moderator: My own approach would be to PubMed each ingrediant/claim against

biolfilm. If nothing, I would google. If I an not familar with one of the

ingrediant then I would repeat the process. Goal is to become knowledgable

about what it is, does, risks, and how well supported are its claims.

Example:

* Chitosanase & Biofilm: Zero hits on PubMed, google found several patents and

some studies

" Amongst the three single polysaccharide-degrading enzymes tested, pectin

esterase was the most effective as it removed about three quarters of the

biofilm cells. Soluble Pronase removed about 30% of the biofilm biomass and 80%

of the cells. Sequential (two-step) treatment with cellulase, pectin esterase or

pectin lyase, followed by soluble Pronase, obtained a 2–3 log10 count reduction

and up to 94% biomass removal. " doi:10.1016/j.enzmictec.2006.08.003

So on a quick touching, it appears to be 'reasonable'. That is, there is science

supporting it may help]
