Cryptolepis by Ortho Molecular Products is an herbal liquid supplement derived from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, a plant traditionally found in Ghana and other regions of Africa.* It is designed to help support the body's natural defenses against immune challenges, maintain normal inflammatory balance, and support microbial balance, and it provides antioxidant support for those with high spirochete load.

How Cryptolepis Works
Spirochetes are bacteria commonly associated with tick exposure that are often accompanied by other associated microbes that can make maintaining microbial balance especially challenging. Cryptolepis and its primary alkaloid, cryptolepine, have demonstrated microbial-balancing activity in laboratory research, including activity against both actively growing and non-growing stationary-phase spirochete populations.
Cryptolepis root contains alkaloids, tannins, and flavones and has a long history of traditional use as an herb to support the immune system and help maintain microbial and inflammatory balance. It is frequently combined with other botanicals such as Cat's Claw, Japanese Knotweed, Andrographis, and Sweet Wormwood for a comprehensive approach to microbial balance and immune support.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Cryptolepis sanguinolenta Root Extract: Provides cryptolepine and other alkaloids that support microbial balance and the body's defenses against immune challenges.
