The "active ingredients" in Tanalbit® are the "plant tannins", natural and powerful substances that act through their agglutinating/astringent effects.  A "tannin" you might be familiar with comes in red wine...it is that biting taste you find in your merlots and cabernets. Another example is the redwood tree. The reason why redwood bark is so resistant to fungus and disease is because of the high "tannin" content of its bark. Tannins are well known for their anti-mycotic properties.

Tanalbit® is a non-toxic, herbal supplement.  Tanalbit® works indirectly in the body and so side-effects are very minimal, if any. Some symptoms that some may experience are constipation and nausea and occasionally, die-off. The tannins in the Tanalbit® may cause constipation in some, and if this occurs,  we suggest taking a Magnesium Supplement and/or a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to alleviate constipation and help with digestion, in addition to increasing water intake (by at least 2x's as much).

In cases of nausea, we suggest first eating some food with the dosage, and if this does not help, then reducing the dosage. (AGAIN, please consult your health professional before changing your dosage). According to the PDR for herbal medicine, one of the plant components of Tanalbit®, Quebracho extract, sometimes can cause mild dizziness, nausea or sweats in very sensitive individuals. If this occurs, consider altering your regimen (either by consuming food w/capsule or lowering dosage), and consult your health provider.

Please refer to our contraindications section for more info and precautions.

Tanalbit® may occasionally cause die-off, however, the die-off reaction does is usually not severe and it is an indication that the product is working. If you are taking supplements in addition to Tanalbit®, we can not guarantee the effectiveness of Tanalbit® as our tests and dosage recommendations take only Tanalbit® into consideration.

In addition, too many supplements may put an added stress on you system. If you are feeling nauseated or anxious, cut down the Tanalbit® dosage and eat the Tanalbit® with meals. If you are taking multiple supplements, do not exceed 9 capsules of Tanalbit® daily. If you are taking both Tanalbit® and Viracin®, again do not exceed 9 capsules total of both plant tannin supplements. Some individuals do just fine with more, but 9 capsules is usually adequate.

We suggest a gradual build-up to 9 capsules daily but some may prefer 9 capsules right away. If you feel a bit anxious or nauseated, consume the dosage with meals. If this does not work, try dropping the dosage. Give yourself a couple of days to experiment and find what is comfortable for you. As each person is different so to are their needs and sensitivities. Our suggestions are based on average results and feedback we receive from our clients; they are not true for everyone.

Tanalbit ® is best taken before meals, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before, or, with a small snack if one cannot tolerate Tanalbit® on an empty stomach. Do not take Tanalbit® after large meals or with other supplements/medications. Allow at least 1 hour between supplements as Tanalbit® needs to work without competition from other supplements / medications. The suggested dosage for Tanalbit® is 2-3 capsules 3 TIMES a day, 9 capsules is optimal. Tanalbit®  works in a gradual manner, and requires YOUR body to eliminate yeast/bacteria + Tanalbit® complex  (hence the need for a larger dosage as well as a regimen that works throughout the day instead of all at once).

Our clients have found that the best results occur when an individual takes Tanalbit® dosage approximately 30 minutes before consuming a meal. However, to avoid possible nausea caused by "floating capsules in an empty stomach" syndrome, a person should do so with a light meal or snack.  Suggestion:  handful of brazil nuts.  If an individual has a particularly sensitive GI, it is better to take the Tanalbit® with a small meal or light snack.

A person who suffers from a yeast/fungal problmes should in any case already be following a strict diet regimen.  Some basic rules: avoid sugar, refined carbohydrates and citrus. See our cookbook product, "So What can I eat?" For some dietary guidelines. In addition, we suggest using TanFlora® probiotic with a Tanalbit® program. Take TanFlora® 30 minutes to 1 hour separately from Tanalbit®.

Intensive Nutrition® recommends that an individual follow a nine capsule a day regimen.  (3 capsules, 3 times a day) ---However, we stress that you follow your health provider's advice first and foremost! Please remember that this is only a suggestion, not a prescription, and based on the use of Tanalbit® ALONE---After a 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.

"...I've been using Tanalbit on Candidiasis for about eight years. I've, of course, used many other treatments, including Nystatin, Caprylic acid and Diflucan.  I find that Tanalbit is a very consistent product.  It gives good therapeutic results with little side effects. 
...I find it especially useful when I'm treating parasites with powerful drugs like metronidazole (Flagyl) and Iodoquinal.  These parasitics cause yeast overgrowth, as well as their own peculiar side effects.
...I find that I can minimize yeast overgrowth without increasing side effects by including Tanalbit.  I've not done it as data collection, but I've observed this phenomenon hundreds of times. --Murray R. Susser, MD  from Santa Monica, CA

"...I have been using Tanalbit since 1991 with continued success in the treatment of Candida and intestinal Dysbiosis conditions...Tanalbit has been well tolerated in my younger patients (over age of six), as well as adults.  I have found Tanalbit to be less likely to trigger adverse "Die-Off" reactions when compared to other natural products I have used, such as Grapefruit Seed Extracts." Ted Sleigh, ND from Lynden, WA

"...I use Tanalbit on all patients with yeast overgrowth either as a gargle, (for AIDS related oral thrush), as a douche (for vaginal yeast), or orally for intestinal yeast...In nearly eighty cases...ranging from 7-85 years of age, my success rate is greater than 80%.  The failures are complicated cases, often with other problems which cause recurrence or reinfection. Tanalbit, combined with appropriate nutrition...is the most effective treatment, with the fewest side effects, available for the price."  Bruce Milliman, ND  from Seattle, WA

"...I want to thank you for your amazing products.  Before I discovered Tanalbit, I had been troubled by chronic Candida for several years.  I had tried many other treatments, often with uncomfortable side-effects and no lasting results.  My symptoms included:  dizziness, insomnia, headaches, indigestion, bloating, constipation, joint pain, hypoglycemia, allergies, infections, heart irregularities, etc.  Also, after so many years of illness, my immune system had become severely compromised which brought on fatigue and depression.  I really felt I had tried everything available, when I came across your website.

Because of the state of my health, I chose a treatment program which included both Tanalbit and Viracin.  For six weeks, I followed a regimen consisting of a combination of Tanalbit (2 capsules, 3 times a day) and Viracin (1 capsule, 3 times a day).  The results were dramatic.  I noticed a distinct difference in my overall health within 4 days of beginning treatment, with no side-effects!  As I continued the program, my symptoms improved.  At the end of the six week program, every symptom had been relieved.  I then began a maintenance program of slowly reducing the dosage over the next month.  Now, at the end of my program, I feel better than I have in years.  I am immensely grateful for your products and for your personal help and suggestions throughout my individual treatment program.  I will continue to take one capsule Tanalbit each day, along with your many other fine products." 

With gratitude,

"...On the recommendation of my doctor, I have been taking Tanalbit for the past six months.  I have experienced positive results beyond my most hopeful expectations. 
I have been in generally good health, but have suffered from susceptibility to every cold, respiratory infection and cough to which I was exposed.  Having a young child in school, I get exposed to many of these! With Tanalbit, I am almost invincible! I have taken care of both my daughter and husband who were ill with the flu, and have managed to stay healthy…

Another problem I have learned to live with for many years is periodontal disease.  I have suffered bone erosion, undergone surgeries and lost teeth.  On Tanalbit, I recently got the best evaluation of my gums that I have heard in ten years.  My gums require no special treatment at this time---a first. 

Additionally, I have been bothered for many years by a stubborn fungus in my fingernails.  I thought I have tried everything possible--injections in the nail bed, soaking in smelly preparations, sleeping with taped-up fingers or gloves--to no avail.  After several months on Tanalbit, my persistent nail fungus has cleared up and I have healthy, clear nails for the first time in years.

I am more impressed with Tanalbit than with any other supplement that I have ever tried.  For a very pleasant change of pace, I have not needed any antibiotics for six months. 

As icing on the cake, I have experienced no side effects from Tanalbit. My doctor assures me that there are none--other than a positive anti-oxidant effect.
Thank you for producing this product.  I have recommended it to my friends without any reservations whatsoever." ----Pamela Soukup Sunnyside, New York

"...My testimony for Tanalbit are numerous.  I at one time had a yeast problem, not female because I am male. I started taking Nystatin, which my doctor prescribed, but it caused problems.  I then heard of your product and started taking it, and got over my yeast problem. Including going to sleep while driving, sore throat, headaches, etc.!

My son had an earache that was causing him to cry.  We weren't at home for a couple of hours and he cried the whole time.  We got home, he took the Tanalbit, and within 5 minutes he felt better. My daughter had a problem with female yeast that because of her age she couldn't do the regular treatment and just applying the cream on the outer area did not relieve the discomfort.  We started her on the Tanalbit, and within 4 to 7 days, it was gone. We have had her take one before bedtime ever since, and there has been no problem since!

Due to this, we suggested it to a lady friend who had taken some antibiotic who had taken some antibiotic and contracted a yeast infection, and your product cleared it up. We are really pleased with your product. "--Charles Loren
