Why Para Response is a smarter choice for natural parasite cleanse support*

• Built for real world travel and “parasite cleanse” routines* Para Response was originally formulated as a traveler’s intestinal support formula to help maintain a healthy gut environment when you are exposed to unfamiliar food and water. It fits naturally into herbal parasite cleanse protocols as gentle support for microbial balance and healthy elimination.*
• Targeted herbal blend, not a harsh laxative cocktail* Many parasite cleanse products rely on aggressive laxatives or mega doses of a single herb. Para Response uses thoughtfully balanced amounts of classic botanicals that support a healthy gastrointestinal response and normal motility without beating up your system.*
• Supports a healthy gut microbiome The formula is designed to help your intestines defend beneficial flora while making the environment less friendly for unwanted microbes. It is an ideal first step before moving into ongoing probiotic and digestive support.*
• Clean, non GMO, vegetarian formula Para Response is made with vegetarian capsules and non GMO ingredients, with no artificial colors or flavors and no unnecessary fillers. It is consistent with the Mt. Angel standard of dairy free, gluten free, and soy free supplements.
• Made and tested in Oregon, USA We formulate, manufacture, bottle, and test our own products in Mt. Angel, Oregon, so you know exactly who is behind your parasite cleanse support formula.*

What is inside Para Response

Each vegetarian capsule delivers a balanced blend of herbs traditionally used to support intestinal health and a clean, comfortable gut environment:*

• Wormwood flower and leaf (Artemisia absinthium) - 100 mg*
  A classic bitter herb used in traditional European and global herbalism for digestion and intestinal microbial balance. Wormwood contains compounds that have shown antimicrobial and antiparasitic activity in laboratory studies, and is often part of herbal parasite cleanse protocols. Because it contains the compound thujone, it is best used short term and as directed.*
• Black walnut green hull (Juglans nigra) - 100 mg*
  The green outer hull of black walnut is rich in tannins and other phytochemicals that have been used traditionally to support the body’s defenses against intestinal worms and other unwanted organisms, and to help maintain a healthy gut environment. Modern reference sources classify its oral use as appropriate for short term support when used as directed.*
• Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) - 100 mg*
  Clove buds are highly aromatic and concentrated in eugenol, a compound that has demonstrated antimicrobial and antiparasitic activity in vitro. In Para Response, cloves help support a less hospitable environment for unwanted microbes while contributing to overall digestive comfort.*
• Garlic (deodorized) - 50 mg*
  Garlic has a long history of use for immune and microbial support. Deodorized garlic in this formula offers that support without strong odor, backing up the other herbs as they help maintain healthy gastrointestinal balance.*
• Butternut root bark, buckthorn bark, and pau d'arco bark - 50 mg each*
  These botanicals round out the blend with traditional roles in bowel regularity, gut comfort, and support for the body’s natural cleansing and immune defenses.*

Who Para Response is for*

• Travelers who want extra support for a healthy gut environment when eating street food, salads, or local specialties.
• People looking for herbal parasite cleanse support who prefer a balanced, practitioner style formula instead of aggressive “detox” products.*
• Anyone focused on supporting microbial balance, healthy elimination, and relief from occasional bloating and gas.*
• Individuals working with a practitioner on gut health protocols who want a clean label, transparently made formula.

How to use Para Response*

As a dietary supplement, adults should follow the directions on the bottle or those provided by their healthcare professional. The standard protocol on the label begins with one capsule three times daily, then increases to two capsules three times daily for a limited period, followed by a break. Para Response is not intended for continuous year round use.*

Because this formula contains herbs like wormwood and black walnut hull, it is especially important to:

• Use Para Response only for the time periods suggested on the label unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.
• Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless you are under the care of a qualified practitioner.
• Talk with your healthcare provider if you take prescription medications, since high tannin herbs like black walnut hull may affect absorption of some oral drugs.*

Round out your gut support routine

Para Response works best as part of a complete digestive and microbiome support plan. Many people pair a short course of Para Response with daily probiotics and digestive enzymes to help rebuild and maintain a healthy intestinal environment.*

• Rebuild healthy flora after an herbal cleanse* Consider following Para Response with a high quality probiotic such as Good Flora or our Probiotic Fusion 3 in 1 daily gut support system to help promote a balanced intestinal environment and long term microbiome health.*
• Support digestion at every meal* For people who experience heaviness, upper abdominal discomfort, or poor breakdown of food, a broad spectrum digestive enzyme like Super Enzymes+ can be a smart companion to Para Response.*
• Explore our full digestive health collection You can see all of our probiotics, enzymes, and gut focused formulas in the Probiotics, Enzymes and Healthy Digestion collection, and learn more about the microbiome in our blog post Digestive Health and the Gut Microbiome .
