Have you heard about how Biocidin can support a balanced gut microbiome? Biocidin® is a unique blend of plant-based botanicals that act as a natural antimicrobial. These botanicals help restore balance to the gut’s microbial environment.
A balanced gut microbiome is essential for a healthy digestive system and strong immunity. In this article, we’ll explore what Biocidin is, how it can be used, and tips for maintaining a healthy gut.
What is Biocidin?
Biocidin® is a powerful mix of botanicals that function as plant-based antimicrobials. Antimicrobials are substances that eliminate harmful pathogens like bacteria, fungi, or viruses in the body. This broad-spectrum formula directly targets the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, promoting a balanced microbiome that supports proper digestion and helps clear out harmful microbes, or pathogens.
The botanicals in Biocidin work to disrupt and prevent the growth of these harmful microbes. When taken, it targets problematic organisms in the gut, reducing their ability to survive and multiply, which can alleviate symptoms and restore gut health. This effectiveness has made Biocidin one of Bio-Botanical’s top products.
Understanding Biofilms
Beyond its antimicrobial properties, Biocidin excels at breaking down biofilms. Biofilms act like protective barriers that shield harmful bacteria and pathogens, making them harder to eliminate and triggering immune responses. Pathogens can produce biofilms, complicating treatment and leading to chronic infections if not addressed properly. These barriers can make pathogens up to a thousand times more resistant to antibiotics.
Biocidin offers a solution by using its herbal ingredients to disrupt biofilms through multiple mechanisms, effectively inhibiting, preventing, and eliminating them.
Biocidin’s Delivery Options
Biocidin comes in various forms to meet different needs:
- Biocidin Liquid (Most Popular)
- Biocidin Capsules
- Biocidin LSF (Enhanced for Systemic Detox)
The liquid form includes a dropper for easy administration, either directly in the mouth or mixed into a drink. This lab-tested, research-supported formula promotes gut health, biofilm breakdown, immune modulation, and detoxification, helping with issues like heartburn, bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea.
Capsules are convenient for travel and offer the same benefits as the liquid, with lab-tested efficacy for gut health, biofilm cleansing, and detoxification.
Biocidin LSF is a liposomal formula designed for superior absorption, reaching the lymphatics, bloodstream, and intracellular spaces, as well as the GI tract, for comprehensive support against microbial imbalances.
CCLifestyle Tip: Start with the liquid or liposomal form for better dose control, especially if you’re sensitive or prone to Herxheimer (HERX) reactions, as these forms allow for gradual dosing adjustments.
Why Biocidin Matters for Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis
For those with Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis, a balanced microbiome is a key goal. Research suggests that gut pathogens may be a primary cause of these conditions, making a healthy microbial balance critical.
When pathogens overrun the GI tract—where most of the body’s immune cells reside—symptoms arise. These pathogens can cause long-term issues like ulcerations and leaky gut, increasing gut lining permeability and leading to symptoms like bleeding, mucus, and diarrhea. As inflammation and infections worsen, addressing the root cause with Biocidin can help break this cycle and reduce flares.
Benefits for Crohn’s and Colitis Patients
Biocidin’s broad-spectrum nature makes it effective against multiple pathogens, a significant advantage for Crohn’s and colitis patients who often deal with various harmful strains. Its diverse ingredients work together to disrupt pathogens, providing relief by addressing the root causes.
Using Biocidin can simplify the process of naturally treating Crohn’s and colitis. Its benefits include:
- Directly targeting the GI tract
- Reducing or eliminating biofilms from yeast, Lyme, and bacteria
- Suppressing yeast growth
- Alleviating small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) symptoms
- Supporting parasite treatment
- Eliminating Lyme spirochetes and cysts
- Disrupting pathogen growth
- Restoring balance to the GI tract
- Supporting detoxification with botanical ingredients
Biocidin’s Ingredients
Biocidin contains a carefully selected blend of ingredients, listed by quantity:
- Bilberry extract
- Noni extract
- Milk Thistle
- Echinacea Purpurea extract
- Echinacea Angustifolia

- White Willow Bark
- Garlic
- Grape Seed extract
- Black Walnut (hull and leaf)
- Raspberry

- Gentian
- Tea Tree oil
- Galbanum oil
- Lavender oil
- Oregano oil
Each ingredient contributes to gut healing, but their combined effect is what sets Biocidin apart. For example, oregano oil is known for its benefits in Crohn’s patients, and Biocidin’s mix of antimicrobial agents creates a powerful formula for a healthy GI environment.
Using Biocidin for Crohn’s and Colitis
We focus on helping those with Crohn’s and colitis every day. We recommend Biocidin because we’ve seen its positive impact on our community.
How to Use: Consult your doctor before use, as this is not medical advice and requires medical supervision.
Start with one drop of the liquid Biocidin on an empty stomach. Note that one pump of the liposomal form equals five drops of the liquid. Gradually increase by one drop per week, with 15 drops often being effective, though some may use up to 30 drops. Herxheimer reactions can occur, so proceed under medical guidance.
The liquid form allows precise dosing, ideal for assessing your body’s response. Some patients can increase the dose quickly, while those with chronic infections may need to go slowly to avoid a Herx reaction.
Tips for a Healthy Microbiome
A balanced microbiome is vital, as 70–80% of immune cells reside in the gut, according to Natasha Trenev, CEO of Natren Probiotics. Treating the gut improves overall health and immunity.
When using Biocidin or other anti-pathogen treatments, always pair it with probiotics to replenish beneficial bacteria. We recommend Natren probiotics for their quality—learn why in their 10 reasons. Their blog details which probiotics support immunity and are suitable for children, adults, and infants.
Jini Patel Thompson’s Listen to Your Gut offers an eBook, What You Need to Know About Probiotics, explaining the importance of probiotics alongside treatments like Biocidin.
Combining Natren Probiotics with Biocidin
As an anti-pathogen treatment, Biocidin should be taken on an empty stomach with water. Probiotics should be taken at least two hours apart from Biocidin or other anti-pathogen treatments.
A simple approach is to take probiotics in the morning on an empty stomach, eat breakfast 20 minutes later, and then take Biocidin 1–2 hours after breakfast, before lunch, on an empty stomach. Our coaching at Crohn’s and Colitis Lifestyle provides tailored protocols like this to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Quick Tips
Here are practical tips to incorporate Biocidin into your health routine:
- If you experience HERX reactions or side effects from Biocidin, try Bio-Botanicals’ G.I Detox. Learn more in our HERX Reactions blog. G.I Detox supports detoxification, helping remove pathogens killed by Biocidin, which can reduce HERX reactions by quickly clearing toxins.
For side effects, take 1–3 capsules of G.I Detox with water on an empty stomach at the onset of symptoms or 20 minutes after Biocidin.
