The elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has a long history of traditional use in central Europe, especially in the Swiss Alps region where it has been prized for centuries for its ability to support the immune system. Sambu Guard For Kids offers a combination of wild-grown elderberries, elder flowers, and other immune-enhancing ingredients.* Each of the ingredients in Sambu Guard For Kids has been selected because of the specific function it contributes to the formula, and for its ability to work synergistically with the others for maximum effect. A must-have for every household, Sambu Guard For Kids helps to support a strong immune response when taken at the first sign of symptoms. Unlike the regular formula, Sambu Guard For Kids is prepared without honey or fructose, making it more suitable for younger children, and it has added pear juice and natural raspberry flavor so kids will enjoy the delicious, fruity taste.

RESEARCH FINDINGS
Sambu®Guard For Kids has not been the subject of any clinical trials but elderberry, echinacea purpurea, and vitamin C individually have. Elderberry has shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials (1). *
The anthocyanin flavonoids in elderberry seem to be the main active ingredients that support a strong immune response (2, 3).*

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.
Flor-Essence 7-Day Purification Programme
$ 27.68
In today's world, high levels of pollutants like heavy metals, hormones, chemicals and food preservatives are increasingly present in our water, air and food sources. The human body's elimination system simply cannot keep up. Over time, these built up toxins can deplete the normal functioning of cells and organs and contribute to a number of serious health concerns.
The Flor•Essence® 7-Day Purification Program offers a comprehensive three-part regime to accelerate the body's natural process of detoxification to remove accumulated toxins and wastes.
While fasting or other cleansing programs can be harsh or inconvenient, the Flor•Essence® 7-Day Purification Program is a safe and gentle whole-body cleanse.
During the 7-Day Program, you do not need to fast. It is important to drink 8 glasses of water a day to help facilitate the removal of waste.
Used in Traditional Herbal Medicine as diuretics, diaphoretics and alternatives to help remove accumulated waste products from the body.
Pro•Essence® NPN 80016240Traditionally used in herbal medicine as a diuretic,and as a urinary tract antiseptic to help relieve benign urinary tract infections
Floralax® II NPN 80004982Combines burdock root, red clover and slippery elm bark in a synergistic 8-herb formula made famous by Rene Caisse, a humanitarian nurse from Bracebridge, Ontario. In the 1920s she learned of a traditional Ojibwa recipe that played an important role in their folk medicine.
Impressed with its effects, Rene Caisse devoted her life to researching and refining the formula and providing it to people who sought her help. Her work with this remarkable formula attracted the attention of Dr. Charles Brusch, former personal physician to U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Together they perfected the formula, which was later popularized by Vancouver health educator and radio broadcaster Elaine Alexander. Her dedication to promoting this herbal tea prompted Dr. Brusch to pass the rights to this formula along to her.
In 1992, she authorized Flora™ to manufacture the tea as "Flor•Essence®," the only version of this product on the market authorized to carry Elaine's Alexander's signature on the packaging to vouch for its historical authenticity.
During the past few decades more than 4 million bottles of Flor•Essence® have been consumed worldwide in over 25 countries.
Pro•Essence® acts as a diuretic for the entire urinary system for both women and men. This 5-herb formula derived from the Ojibwa tradition helps ensure proper elimination of water-soluble toxins. This formula is made with organic burdock root, slippery elm bark, juniper berry, prickly ash bark and bearberry leaves.
A unique combination of flax seeds, psyllium husks and oat bran, this safe and effective fibre formula benefits the body's natural process of daily detoxification without the undesirable effects associated with many laxatives.
As fibre moves along the digestive tract, it scrubs and loosens trapped toxic waste matter and shortens transit time, reducing possible irritations that may lead to gastrointestinal difficulties and other health concerns.

Superior Antioxidant Protection
Flora’s unique formula, Beyond Grape Seed®, combines Dr. Jack Masquelier’s Original OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) with bioflavonoids from bilberries and cranberries.
In 1948 in France, Dr. Masquelier isolated the powerful antioxidants now known as OPCs. He first derived them from the peanut, then from pine bark and later from grape seeds. Grape seeds are rich in antioxidants that can be used to help neutralize free radicals, which may impair the body’s cells, tissues and organs.
Free radical oxidation is caused by many factors including environmental pollution, food additives, high-fat diets, excessive alcohol, smoking and passive smoke inhalation, burns, infections, stress, radiation and nutrient deficiencies. Because cell damage is at the root of most health problems and aging disorders, protecting ourselves from free-radical activity is important for increasing the likelihood of a long and healthy life.
