NutraMedix Stevia Microbial Support

The specific stevia product used in the Theophilus et al. (2015) study demonstrating biofilm disruption against Borrelia burgdorferi. NutraMedix uses a patented extraction process and alcohol-based (20-24% ethanol) whole-leaf extraction to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive compounds including saponins and tannins.

Why It Works

This is the only stevia product with direct published research supporting its use against Borrelia biofilms. The study showed ~40% biofilm mass reduction and ~94% elimination of spirochetes and persisters in vitro. The alcohol extraction method preserves antimicrobial compounds that water-based extractions may miss.

Tips

• Marketed specifically as "Microbial Support" — not a sweetener
• 1-2 droppers in water, 2x/day per the antimicrobial protocol
• Referenced in the protocol as the primary stevia source
