Illicium Supreme (Illicium verum) - 90 Capsules
Illicium Supreme™ is the fruit of a tropical evergreen tree, Illicium verum. Both the roots and fruit have been used as medicine and, in recent years, have been further investigated for their medicinal potential. Traditionally, star anise (Illicium) was used to treat nausea, indigestion, expel gas, relieve colic, reduce hernias, increase milk production in nursing mothers, facilitate birth, and increase libido. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has been used to treat prolapsed organs, treat kidney deficiency, and to bring warmth and vitality to the stomach and intestines. We had to test samples from a number of different suppliers to find one that met SNP quality standards.
Illicium is rich in essential oils including anethole, safrole, cineole, pinene, and limonine. Additionally, it is rich in shikimic acid, the precursor molecule used to produce the antiviral drug Tamiflu. Illicium is also an antioxidant, and has pain relieving and sedative effects. The essential oil of Illicium has been shown in studies to be potently anti-fungal. Additionally, extracts of Illicium have been shown to be extremely effective against antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria including MRSA and there have been studies demonstrating strong inhibitory effects against malaria.
