LB CORE Protocol
What is LB CORE Protocol?
LB CORE Protocol is a flagship Green Dragon Botanicals herbal blend designed as a complete multi-herb formula rather than a single-ingredient supplement. Each capsule provides 550 mg of a carefully selected botanical blend featuring Japanese Knotweed Root, Cat’s Claw Vine Bark, Andrographis Herb, Sarsaparilla Root, Dandelion Leaf, and Eleuthero Root.
This practitioner-inspired formula was created for adults seeking a structured, plant-based supplement to support immune function, antioxidant protection, digestive wellness, adaptogenic resilience, and whole-body balance as part of a daily wellness routine.*
How LB CORE fits into your routine
LB CORE is often used by adults who prefer a comprehensive herbal protocol instead of managing several single-herb supplements separately. Because it combines multiple botanicals in one convenient formula, LB CORE may be used as a daily foundation for:
- Immune support: supports healthy immune system function and resilience*
- Antioxidant protection: supports cellular wellness and helps the body manage oxidative stress*
- Digestive wellness: supports digestive and elimination pathways as part of whole-body balance*
- Adaptogenic support: supports vitality and resilience during physically demanding seasons*
- Botanical synergy: combines complementary herbs traditionally used together in herbal wellness routines*
- Clean daily support: offers a Non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian formula for long-term use*
Why a multi-herb protocol matters
Single-herb supplements can be helpful, but many traditional herbal systems use carefully designed combinations of botanicals to support balance across multiple body systems. LB CORE was formulated with this approach in mind, combining herbs that complement one another for broad-spectrum daily wellness support.*
This formula brings together herbs traditionally used for immune resilience, antioxidant activity, digestive wellness, liver and elimination support, stress resilience, and whole-body vitality.*

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take the herbal protocol?
Generally, the base dose to start the LB CORE or LB TONIC is 3 capsules, 3X/day, and then working up 3 caps at a time on a weekly basis, to a maximum of 12 capsules, 3-4X/day. If there is any digestive upset along the way (bloating, diarrhea, gas, distention, etc.), then back down to a lower dose that is more comfortable.
Suggested use:
Week 1 - 3 capsules, 3X/day
Week 2 - 6 capsules, 3X/day
Week 3 - 9 capsules, 3X/day
Week 4 - 12 capsules, 3X/day
Week 5 - 12 capsules, 4X/day
For the liquid version of the protocol, the suggested use is 1/4-1 tsp., 3-4X/day.
Maintain maximum dose the body tolerates for at least 60 days, and depending on severity and duration of illness, the herbs can be lowered to a maintenance dose. Continue use of the herbs for 8-12 months or until symptoms are resolved. If symptoms worsen upon lowering the dose, increase.
What are the potential side effects of the herbs?
Digestive issues may arise with bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal distention, etc. and this is an indication of too high a dose. Lower the amount of herbs to where is comfortable.
Andrographis has created an allergic response in about 1% of those taking it. This manifests as a full body rash or hives when first taking it, which is then relieved when the herb is discontinued, though may take time to resolve completely.
What are the cautions/contraindications of the protocol?
Use Japanese knotweed with caution with blood thinning medications and discontinue the use of the herb 10 days prior to surgery.
The LB CORE protocol is contraindicated if pregnant or trying to get pregnant, and consult a health care practitioner if breast-feeding.
The liquid LB CORE protocol contains honey. Do not use if you are allergic to bee products. Not for use by children under 1 year of age.
What is the difference between the LB CORE and the LB TONIC?
Both protocols contain the main herbs Japanese Knotweed and Cats Claw, with the only difference between the two being the LB CORE contains Andrographis (anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation), while the LB TONIC has Eleuthero (immune/ adrenal support) instead. Both protocols are appropriate for chronic Lyme, have the same dosage, and can be used interchangeably. Some folks even take them together, for example; TONIC in morning and afternoon, CORE in the evening. The TONIC was developed more recently as an alternative to the CORE for those folks who wished for a protocol without the Andrographis.
