Maple Syrup Extract Proves to Effectively Boost Antibiotic Potency
As per the report of Modern Readers news, maple syrup has the capacity to boost the strength of antibiotics to fight off diseases and effectiveness can be achieved if administered at the right time for the right people.
Found right in your kitchen, maple syrup is generally used as a sweetener to the delicious pancakes. Thanks to the research team of McGill University, they found out that concentrated maple syrup extract has the potential ability to increase the potency of the antibiotics against bacteria which causes diseases.
This simple discovery may be fruitful by just using maple syrup extract; an individual may be able to use a lesser amount of antibiotics and for a shorter time to achieve the full benefits of a medicine.
Antibiotics have been designed to fight against diseases caused by bacteria. It is also overused by so many and there are cases of resistance to bacteria hence the need to remedy it and boost the antibiotics' effectiveness and help combat implications.
Professor Nathalie Tufenkji, one of the scientists at the McGill's Department of Chemical Engineering has pioneered in conducting a study that focuses on a maple syrup extract concentrate which is rich in phenolic minerals. She put the maple syrup extract to several tests against a number of bacteria. Results show that the extract did not affect the strains when it is applied on its own.
Another amazing discovery by Professor Tufenkji has proved that when antibiotics were added into the mixture and also used by an individual along with the maple syrup extract, the bacteria loses the battle as its defenses have weakened. This is only shows that the extract is has enhanced the effect the drugs effectively.
