Alchornea Supreme
It has been a goal of Supreme Nutrition products to produce products
from the world’s best herbal antimicrobials. With more and more people
with compromised immune systems due to chemical and metal exposure,
increased emfs and mold in the environment, nutrient deficiencies,
stress of living in the 21st century etc. plus the rapid mutation of
many pathogens having a pharmacy of herbal antimicrobials is
incredibly beneficial to the physician as well as the average family.
Our latest addition is Alchornea Supreme (Alchornea Cordifolia). Also
known as Christmas bush, this plant has been used in traditional
African medicine for many centuries. In the Congo it is often used as
a tea to treat various maladies, including: diarrhea, fever,
respiratory infections, malaria and various skin conditions including
psoriasis (1).
It has broad spectrum anti-bacterial properties including against
pseudomonas species, klebsiella, S. aureus, strep mutans and e. coli
(3,5,6). In Africa it has been shown to be hepatoprotective, have
antidepressant properties, anticancer properties, and is a strong
antioxidant (4)
Alchornea also has been shown to have strong anti-fungal properties
against candida, microsporum and aspergillus species. In Cameroon it
is routinely used to treat uro-genetal infections (8).
Physicians in the lyme community have found it very useful in the
treatment of ehrlichia, bartonella, and babesia species as well as
chlamydia and various mycoplasma (7).
Since research is limited we advise not taking it if pregnant,
breastfeeding or while on blood thinning medication.
