Although never fully studied in placebo-controlled trials, Robert's Formula has long been favored by natural doctors treating suspected inflammation in the GI tract.
Robert's formula usually consists of cabbage leaf, geranium, marshmallow, slippery elm, echinacea and goldenseal. It sometimes contains bismuth, which kills H. Pylori, usually found in upper GI ulceration, as well as other microorganisms.
A typical dose is at least one capsule tid between meals.
If inflammation is present from this over-population of harmful bacteria, the regular use of Robert's Formula may help soothe the intestinal lining and reduce pain.
