Melia Supreme is powdered neem leaf (Melia azadirachta) put into vegetarian capsules with nothing else added (no fillers, binders, flowing agents, etc.). Melia is an amazing plant that has been used therapeutically in India for at least 2,500 years. The word neem is reported to come from the Sanskrit language and roughly means "the healer and illness reliever". The Latin name for the Neem tree, Azadirachta indica, means "free tree," which is apt since the tree is free from insects and disease. Melia is a superb broad spectrum herb which is anti-microbial and it has also been reported that it does not harm beneficial intestinal flora. Melia has been shown to be hepato-protective, stimulates T-cell production in times of infection and blocks pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Melia also possesses small amounts of catechin and quercetin - both having anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic properties. Melia SupremeTM is packaged in a bottle containing 60 veggie capsules with each capsule containing approximately 436 mg of Melia azadirachta (Neem). Recommended dose for adults is 1 cap 3x per day. It is contraindicated during pregnancy, nursing, and in young children.
