Is there too long of a duration for GI-Synergy?

Chris Kresser: Yes. Three to six months. I wouldn’t use it for longer than that, especially not continuously. I think botanicals certainly don’t cause as much disruption of the gut microbiome as far as I’ve seen, but they I think they can cause some, and I have seen that on a stool test. I think we want to minimize our use of the panicles in any antimicrobial as much as possible. At the same time, use botanicals because they’re more balanced, and they’re not as much like a sledgehammer approach, but they do often take longer to have the same impact. I’m not hesitant to use them for three to six months, but beyond that, I would definitely start to become wary.
