Dr. Dunner Cynarol Artichoke leaf dry extract
$ 22.67
Like most vegetables, artichokes are good for us, but this tall, composite herb with its spiked green flower is even more valuable for our health than many of us realize. Artichoke leaves contain a number of active constituents, including bitters, which have been shown to stimulate bile flow.
Bile is secreted by the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and then discharged into the duodenum to promote good digestion. Bile acts like a cleansing agent that works on large particles of dietary fat, allowing the fat globules to break down or be emulsified into microscopic droplets that are easier for the body to digest.
This is what makes Cynarol™ an excellent digestive aid, particularly following a meal high in fat.
Each 500 mg capsule of Cynarol™ Artichoke Concentrate is equivalent to 5 500 mg of fresh artichoke. Dr. Dünner uses only fresh artichoke flower buds, as they have the highest concentration of the plant's active ingredients.
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS:
Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen, Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant, or if you have gallstones.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Do not use if you have a bile duct obstruction or if you are allergic to plants of the Asteraceae/Compositae/Daisy family.
KNOWN ADVERSE REACTIONS:
Hypersensitivity has been known to occur; in which case, discontinue use.

Floralax® II is a unique laxative formula with three natural sources of high quality fibre rolled into one: flax seeds, psyllium husks and oat bran.
One of the main ingredients in Floralax® II is psyllium, which is 60% to 70% soluble fibre. When ingested with the proper amount of water or juice, psyllium can swell up to 100 times its original volume, providing bulk to promote optimum elimination through the colon. In this bulk form, psyllium acts as a sponge that absorbs intestinal toxins and brings gentle relief to those experiencing occasional constipation.
Defatted flax seeds are utilized because they swell up with water, providing additional mucilage, which helps keep the fecal matter soft. Oat bran offers a third source of fibre and is extremely easy to digest. First, the gel from the psyllium husks and flax seeds encourage activity to begin in the small intestine and then the oat bran works as a broom to sweep out the large intestine. For this reason, Floralax® II is an integral part of a whole-body detoxification or cleansing program such as the Flor•Essence® 7-Day Purification Program.
MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS:
Each tablespoon (tbsp) (5 g) contains:
Defatted flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) . . . 2.5 g
Psyllium husks(Plantago ovata) . . . 2.3 g
Oat bran (Avena sativa) . . . . 0.2 g
ADULT DOSE:
Consume 1 tbsp (5 g) in 250 ml liquid 3 times daily. Mix in at least 250 ml of liquid with each dose. Mix well and drink immediately. Do not swallow in dry form. Do not use within two hours of another medicine because the desired effect of the medicine may be reduced. Store in a cool, dry place.
CAUTIONS:
Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking any other natural health products or medications, or if you have a medical condition.
This product may cause an allergic reaction in people sensitive to inhaled or ingested psyllium powder. AVOID INHALATION.
For use as laxative, do not use for more than 1 week at a time unless advised by a health care practitioner.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have acute abdominal pain, nausea, fever, vomiting and/or intestinal obstruction.

Flora Gallexier® Herbal Bitters
$ 26.08
Bitters for Better Digestion
We all love to eat, but what we dislike is that sluggish feeling and uncomfortable sense of fullness that often comes in the aftermath of a heavy meal. A common tradition in Europe, bitters have been cherished for centuries to help make the eating experience more enjoyable. Many of the gastro-intestinal problems people experience today were very rare among our ancestors. It is actually the bitter taste in the mouth that triggers the optimal functioning of our digestive process. The liver benefits from the stimulation of bitter herbs to help it carry out its vitally important activities. The combination of stimulating herbs and bitter food extracts makes Gallexier® Herbal Bitters an ideal complement to a hearty meal.

Holy Basil, which is also known as tulsi, is the most sacred herb in Indian culture. It has been used for thousands of years and has played a key role in the Ayurvedic healing tradition. It has been used both to aid digestion, and as a heart tonic. It is referred to as “Nature’s elixir of life.”
In Hinduism, Holy Basil is also considered to be a sacred herb. In fact, Tulsi is Sanskrit for "the incomparable one.” It is commonly found in many homes and temples and is traditionally used to open the heart and mind and to aid meditation.
Holy Basil is an adaptogen, meaning that it helps balance various processes within the body and helps it to cope with stress.

Flora Multivitamin Iron Free Caps

Because of poor eating habits, daily stress and the average modern diet that consists of too many nutrient-depleted processed foods, it is wise to supplement with Flora™ MULTI CAPS on a daily basis.
Traditionally our competitors prepare materials for tablets and capsules with Wet Bed Granulation, a process that requires the use of alcohol solvents and high temperature drying to achieve the necessary material characteristics.
Flora™ eliminates the need for this potentially destructive process by using Dry Bed Granulation, which allows the solids to dissolve faster so that the active compounds are released more efficiently. And because no moisture is involved in the process, the quality of the B vitamins is better preserved.
Easy to absorb, Flora™ MULTI CAPS are designed to ensure exceptional bioavailability of nutrients such as vitamin C, D3, E and many B vitamins as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc.

Flora Super Children's Probiotic
$ 17.22
Specially Formulated Blend for Kids
Designed for children age 4 and up, Udo’s Choice® Super Children’s Probiotic
contains 7 strains of medicinal probiotic bacteria that correspond with your child’s natural healthy microflora.
World-renowned nutrition expert Udo Erasmus has created 7 different formulas to provide the right probiotic supplement for every member of the family. The type and amount of probiotic bacterial strains needed for best results will change at different stages of life and under different health conditions.
Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends are best taken after meals. All of the bacterial strains chosen have been specially developed and tested for their gastric resistance. Unlike the live bacterial content of many foods being marketed today, the probiotic strains in Udo’s blends are able to survive the stomach acids to reach the intestinal tract at full potency.
Why do we need probiotic supplements?
While most people assume they have a healthy intestinal tract, lifestyle and environmental factors can compromise the digestive system. This allows undesirable bacteria to take hold and cause problems. Such factors may include poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress, the use of antibiotics in food production and medical treatments, and a number of other factors, including health problems and simply aging, which can greatly reduce the number of friendly bacteria in the body.
When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is out of balance, problems begin to arise such as poor absorption of nutrients and intestinal toxicity. This can result in gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation, among other discomforts. If this imbalance is left untreated, the symptoms can become chronic and can compromise the immune system and lead to other serious health concerns.
