BioFilm Buster
Our Biofilm Buster tincture contains five herbs that are most commonly researched for targeting biofilms specific to chronic Borrelia (Lyme disease). Biofilms can protect pathogens from treatment, making them a key focus for comprehensive Lyme and co-infection therapy.
This blend is ideal for individuals seeking to disrupt biofilm formation, particularly those with chronic infections like Lyme disease. It supports the immune system, detoxification pathways, and helps combat pathogenic organisms that thrive within biofilms, ensuring a more complete treatment of the infection.
It is best to introduce biofilm treatments while simultaneously addressing the infection with antibiotics, either pharmaceutical or herbal. However, for those who are highly sensitive or quite unwell, we recommend starting with antimicrobials 1-3 months prior to introducing biofilm treatments to ensure better tolerance.
We strongly suggest continuing biofilm treatments for several months before stopping antimicrobial agents, as the biofilm matrix is known to shelter Lyme and its coinfections, as well as many other infections. Failing to address biofilms increases the risk of relapse.

INGREDIENTS
CLINICAL USES
| Helps Break Down Biofilms | Andrographis is known for its ability to disrupt bacterial biofilms, which can protect pathogens from the immune system and antibiotics, making them more resilient. This can aid in the treatment of chronic infections, such as Lyme disease and its co-infections. |
| Supports Immune System Health | Rhodiola enhances the body’s natural defense mechanisms and immune function, supporting the body’s ability to fight off infections and pathogens that may be encased in biofilms. |
| Antimicrobial & Antiviral | Chinese Skullcap has potent antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help target and reduce the impact of harmful pathogens while addressing biofilm-related issues. |
| Improves Circulation & Detoxification | Juniper supports healthy circulation and promotes detoxification, helping the body flush out toxins and waste products that could contribute to biofilm formation. |
| Anti-Inflammatory & Supports Healing | Licorice has natural anti-inflammatory properties and helps modulate the immune system, supporting the body in dealing with chronic inflammatory responses caused by biofilms. |
| Enhances Energy & Stamina | Rhodiola is an adaptogen, which helps the body adapt to stress and improves physical and mental endurance, counteracting fatigue that may be associated with chronic infections and biofilm-related issues. |
| Supports Digestive Health | Licorice is beneficial for gut health as it helps soothe the gastrointestinal lining, and when dealing with infections that produce biofilms in the gut, this can promote overall digestive healing. |
| Promotes Cellular Protection & Detoxification | The combination of Andrographis, Rhodiola, and Juniper promotes cellular detoxification, helping to support liver function and clear accumulated toxins, which may exacerbate the biofilm problem. |
| Fights Chronic Pathogens | The antimicrobial properties of Andrographis and Chinese Skullcap are helpful in combating persistent infections often associated with chronic conditions like Lyme, babesia, and other tick-borne illnesses, all of which may involve biofilms. |
| Supports Respiratory Health | Juniper also has beneficial effects on the respiratory system, promoting the clearance of mucus and supporting overall lung health, which can be particularly useful if biofilm-related infections affect the lungs or airways. |

FAQ
What makes Apex Botanical tinctures different from other herbal tinctures?
Our tinctures stand out due to the premium quality of herbs we use. Crafted at a concentration of 1:4, our herbal tinctures prioritize both potency and effectiveness.
Unlike many other companies that employ a uniform alcohol percentage across all products, our approach is nuanced. We tailor the alcohol concentration for each herb based on the distinct medicinal properties of the plant.
This strategy reflects our commitment to a sophisticated extraction of medicinal compounds, effectively setting Apex Botanicals apart in the realm of herbal tinctures.
How should I consume my herbal tincture?
Herbal tinctures are generally taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before and after meals). They can be taken directly or added to 1oz of water if the taste is hard to swallow.
Dosing of herbal tinctures will generally vary from 1 drop once per day up to 1 tsp 3 times per day. When taking anti-microbial herbal tinctures, starting at a lower dose and increasing slowly is the general rule of thumb.
*Be sure to speak with your primary care provider to determine the correct dose for your needs.
How long should I take my herbal tincture for?
The length of time a tincture should be taken will vary considerably based on your state of health, the infection / symptom you’re trying to treat and other medications or treatments you are concurrently taking.
Most people with chronic tick-borne infections take an herbal tincture for between 3 months and 2 years.
As a general rule, its recommended to take an herbal tincture for at least 1 month to see the best results.
Are herbal tinctures safe for children?
Generally speaking, it is safe for children to consume herbal tinctures, but dosing should be adjusted. Refrence 'Clarks Rule' for further information.
*Always consult your primary care provider before starting a new protocol or giving your child herbal tinctures.
Are herbal tinctures safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Some herbs are strictly contraindicated in pregnancy and should be avoided. We do our best to indicate this on the product information page but are not held liable for any errors or omissions.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding consult your primary care provider before consuming any herbal tinctures.
Will my herbal tincture interact with medications or supplements?
Interactions of herbal tinctures with medications or supplements do exist. We strongly recommended consulting with your primary care provider or pharmacist before taking any herbal tinctures if you are concerned about potential contraindications.
What does a 1:4 ratio imply and how does it compare to 1:2 or 1:5+?
The ratio describes the concentration of a tincture. We use a 1:4 ratio, meaning 1 part dried herb (in grams) to 4 parts menstruum (the combined alcohol and herb).
A ratio of 1:5 has more liquid to the same amount of herb and is therefore more diluted.
A ratio of 1:10 or higher is very diluted and requires very high daily doses and is not recommended.
Tinctures made at 1:2 are often too concentrated for Lyme patients and commonly induce Herx reactions that can be very intense.
Most tinctures on the market are made at 1:5. We’ve chosen to use 1:4 to ensure greater potency while still being very safe and tolerable.
Does higher alcohol content mean an herbal tincture is more or less potent?
Using the correct alcohol percentage to extract the specific medicinal constituents of that herb is of highest importance when making a tincture. Using more or less alcohol essentially reflects the chemical nature of the compounds that we want to extract into the liquid portion.
A tincture made at 40% versus one made at 80% is not twice at strong. It simply implies that for the first herb, 40% alcohol will optimally extract the medicinal qualities. For the second herb, 80% is the concentration for optimal extraction.
We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that our tinctures are made using the correct concentrations.
*Please note that not all herbal tinctures on the market are made with the appropriate alcohol concentration so use our site as a reference or conduct your own research to make sure you’re purchasing the best formulated tincture possible.
