The Use of Natural Bioactive Nutraceuticals in the Management of Tick-Borne Illnesses

The primary objective of this paper is to provide an evidence-based update the literature on use bioactive phytochemicals, nutraceuticals, and micronutrients (dietary supplements that health benefits beyond their nutritional value) in management persistent cases Borrelia burgdorferi infection (Lyme disease) two other tick-borne pathogens, Babesia Bartonella species. Recent studies have advanced our understanding pathophysiology mechanisms infections. These advances increasingly enabled clinicians patients utilize a wider set options manage these frequently disabling conditions. This broader toolkit holds promise simultaneously improving treatment outcomes helping decrease reliance long-term pharmaceutical antimicrobials antibiotics pathogens such as burgdorferi, Babesia, Bartonella.
