Klaire Labs Interfase - Digestive Enzyme Blend to Support GI Detox & Gut Flora Balance - Dairy-Free (120 Vegetarian Capsules)

This the absolute best biofilm buster out there in my opinion. You can feel it working. Initially I got herxing reaction as I was purging the biofilm, and I rarely ever get herxing reactions anymore since I'm pretty far along on my healing journey with dysbiosis due to bacterial and fungal overgrowth. In the beginning, it made me swell up and stop up, and generally feel terrible, achy joints etc. Now I can take 4-6 at a time and the only thing I notice is a cleaner, lighter feeling that's hard to explain, a smooth, painless feeling in my joints - sort of like they're well-oiled. And the painful swelling I initially experienced doesn't occur anymore either. I have had pain and hardness in one of my breast implants due to capsular contracture that surgery wasn't able to completely eradicate, and I figured that it would be something I always had to live with as removing them wasn't an option I was interested in, I don't mind suffering a little for beauty ;) lol But after using this for Candida and SIBO for several months, I noticed that the pain and hardness in my one breast was gone! Interestingly, it flared up quite a bit before it went down, every time I would take the Interfase, I'd get a strange, painful weird feeling in the area, but it got less and less until it was finally gone completely and I never expected that, although it does make sense, as Capsular Contracture is a result of biofilm forming around the implant. So I think this stuff is the real deal - it really does remove biofilm from every part of the body, not just the intestinal tract. I can even see the film when it comes out of me sometimes, which I know is gross but it's nice confirmation to see that it's not just a placebo affect. I would mention a couple things - you need to take it on a very empty stomach. If your stomach is slow to empty, then take it first thing in the morning. I notice if I take it anywhere near a meal, even if it's several hours afterwards, it just goes to work digesting the food, instead of the bacteria, fungus or biofilm and so is basically wasted. I take it when my stomach is so empty that it's growling, and that works best. Not really the most pleasant thing, as I really want to eat food, not take this stuff - but that's when it really goes to work and gets rid of the junk. Also, I prefer the Interfase to the Interfase Plus which contains EDTA and tends to chelate out magnesium and iron and other stuff I want, and then I get constipated and anemic. I also think it's best to pulse off and on and not take this continually for long term. I buy a bottle which lasts me for a couple of months, and then I wait another couple months before I buy another one as it's pretty strong stuff, and also, you don't want to get a resistant strain of SIBO or Candida.

If I could give it 20 stars I would! I only wish more came in the bottle to be honest. I buy every month... and it is pricey is my only issue. I have severe Systemic Candida and I use this to break the biofilm, I really can't be without it. My other antifungals aren't effective without it. I can tell right away if I go a day without it.. I quickly start to deteriorate. I'm only 27 but have very poor health issues and immune system due to my silicone breast implants have made me very sick. If you have Candida like me, a severe case then all the antifungals and diets in the world won't help until you get at that biofilm. Bacteria and fungi use biofilms to hide from our immune systems, antibiotics and antifungals. I take Lactoferrin with Colostrum as well. That helps tremendously. It steals the iron that yeast use to create biofilms and safely give back to your cells... Anyway, My bones, joints feel better after taking Interfase , just not the Plus version bc I have mercury chelation it contains EDTA which made me sick but Interfase regular kind is great. If your on the fence on whether to get it, just do it.. It is by far the most effective thing I used for getting rid of biofilm.

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.

I am taking this supplement only because my doctor ordered it, so I really don't know what it is supposed to do for me. I trust her, though, so if she tells me to take it, then I know it is a good product.

I got sucked into purchasing this Klaire Labs Interfase by reading naturopath recommendations on the Web for non-drug treatment of Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). First of all, this product makes me very constipated -- reduced motility is exactly what you don't want in SIBO! Then I found out the real SIBO experts, such as Dr. Alison Siebecker and others, advise that enzymes (such as Klaire Labs Interfase) are not necessary in the non-drug SIBO protocol. As near as I can tell, the suggestion that enzymes break up SIBO biofilm (thus allowing the bacteria to be killed) was originated by Klaire Labs to promote their rather expensive Interfase products, which they market to naturopaths. This is the sole source of such information. I've asked ProThera, which owns Klaire Labs now, what the evidence is that enzymes such as those in Interfase get into the small intestine and break up biofilm. I've gotten nothing but the runaround from them about this, which is a red flag for me when it comes to supplement makers. If they won't be forthright, they're taking advantage of the consumer. From what I can find on PubMed, there is evidence enzymes will break up biofilm on plastic, glass, and in the test tube, but nothing regarding whether enzymes taken orally will be active in the mammalian small intestine. I think there's a good chance the enzymes act within the stomach and don't get to the small intestine, which is where the SIBO is. Further, if they do get to the small intestine, do they break up biofilm? That is a big leap of faith. If you want to believe that enzymes can do something for SIBO, I would take only enteric-coated enzymes, and definitely not Interfase. Spend as little as possible and don't fall for hype from high-priced supplement makers (I have no complaint with the service I got from this seller on Amazon.) [POSTSCRIPT] In December 2015, I corresponded with Stephen F. Olmstead, MD, Chief Science Officer, ProThera, Inc. Klaire Labs (manufacturer of Interfase). He said "We have never promoted InterFase for SIBO..... I know of no studies in animals or humans that demonstrate a combination enzyme product degrades biofilm in the intestines. InterFase has been used by practitioners for over 6 years now and we have received uniformly positive feedback. But we have not done a study." The "in vitro testing of antibiofilm activity" to which Interfase refers in its marketing materials have to do with enzymes cleaning bacteria from lab equipment, as I mentioned above. Those practitioners who recommend Interfase as a biofilm disruptor for SIBO are making stuff up.
