Carnivora

[Jug]

Hi,

Was wondering if anybody had personally heard of or tried Carnivora dietary supplement? Its an extract from the venus fly trap. Wondering if it had any effect on helping with crohns condition? I'm thinking of trying it, but don't want to add another supplement to my diet with all the others if it won't help.

Thanks

I have read about it but never tried it. There is not much reliable information to go on about Carnivora. There are claims that it works for Crohn's but not much more than that. It is supposed to kill off primative bacteria, but I do not remember any of the details. If it does kill off certain bacteria, which is a big if, and it happens to kill one which triggers inflamation, it could theoretically work.

I would check for any possible side effects before use. I am not aware of any but I have not done an exaustive search.

I would say the odds are not in your favor of it helping, but that does not mean it is not possible.

If you do decide to try it, let us know your opinion on it.

Thank you.
