WHAT IS IT? Tanalbit®, 500 mg per capsule, consists of condensed zinc tannates 425 mg derived from Babul bark, Swedish birch bark, and methylated Quebracho extract. The tannates are complexed with purified casein 30 mg and L-Proline 5 mg. It also contains hydrolyzed chitin extract 20 mg (glucosamine derivatives) and Lotus rhizome extract 20 mg.
WHAT DOES IT DO? Tanalbit is a specially processed plant tannin product. Tannins are astringent substances typically found in tree bark for their protection. One of the reasons that Redwood trees are among the oldest living things on earth is that the rich tannins in their bark make them highly resistant to insects, bacteria and fungi. A fallen Redwood may take many years to decompose. This product is meant to be an anti-mycotic. It defeats fungus and yeast, although it is also anti-bacterial, etc.
Minimal side-effects have been reported. Detox may occur as may nausea or constipation. Eating first or taking a magnesium based laxative may help with these. Dizziness, nausea or sweats may occur in very sensitive individuals. Reducing dosage may also help. See Disclaimer.
Here are dosing guidelines from the manufacturer: "The
recommended dosage for Tanalbit® is 2-3 capsules 3 TIMES a day (18 Max). The
dosage that seems to garner the best results, is 9 capsules per day.
Tanalbit®, an herbal supplement and not a drug, works in a gradual manner hence
the need for a larger dosage as well as a regimen that works throughout the day. After a treatment period of between 4-6 weeks,
one should not stop taking Tanalbit® but rather begin a "maintenance
program" of at least 4 weeks (more or less depending on initial
dosage). The calendar below shows the dosage for a person taking nine
capsules a day. Similar reduction of one capsule per week is suggested."
NHC sells 60 capsule bottles of Tanalbit for $16.95. The suggested retail price is $19.00. No further discounts apply on this product. NHC sells 120 capsule bottles of Tanalbit for $32.95. The suggested retail price is $37.00. No further discounts apply on this product.
