The secret ingredient that rids your body of the toxins making you bloated, sick and tired.
So, what does belly bloat have to do with your GI tract? Plenty.
Belly bloat can be a symptom of irregularity. And regularity sure isn’t
regular these days. Widespread constipation is epidemic. Why else would
we be spending upward of $1.2
billion a year on laxatives. What
a tremendous amount of money spent on a variety of symptoms that can
easily be remedied with a simple change in diet or dietary supplements.
We all know that fiber helps to keep food moving swiftly through the
GI tract. Fiber binds to belly-bloating yeasts, toxins, unexpelled
wastes, and excess fluids. It helps to flush them out of the body like
no other “non-nutrient.”
Just as helpful for maintaining a tiny waist, soluble fiber contained
in the skins of fruits, root vegetables and seeds, functions as a
prebiotic that nurtures the beneficial bacteria. Soluble fiber also
provides a feeling of fullness that can help control your appetite. As
probiotics ferment fiber, they form short-chain fatty acids, among their
many benefits. These natural substances can inhibit growth of Candida
(the fungus among us that can pooch out the belly) and reduce bad bugs
like E. coli while helping to heal the digestive tract. Best of all,
short-chain fatty acids tamp down inflammation which can contribute to
asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and
type 2 Diabetes.
Super-GI Cleanse,
an especially rich soluble fiber supplement, is simply one of the best
products I have found to cleanse the GI tract and provide the right kind
of fiber that will keep your beneficial bacteria happy and your belly
flat. Super-GI also offers special herbs which are helpful in
maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and act as natural digestive aids
to keep pathogenic bacteria away.
Here are some special features of the key ingredients:
- Cranberry powder, a substance rich in organic acids
that appear to function as natural digestive enzymes to assist in the
elimination of toxic wastes from every organ, tissue, and system,
especially the lymphatics. Cranberry powder also helps with pH
balance—so critical in protecting us from becoming a breeding ground for
microorganisms, yeast, and other toxins.
- Psyllium seed husk fiber, the “carbohydrate gum” found in the cell
wall of psyllium, known for its ability to absorb water and speed bowel
transit time.
- Flaxseed fiber, an abundant source of lignan
precursors, which exhibit properties such as anticancer, antibacterial,
antifungal, and antiviral activity.
- Apple pectin, the gel-forming properties of which
are responsible for lowering cholesterol by binding the cholesterol and
bile acids in the gut and promoting their excretion.
- Alfalfa leaves, high in saponins, which help to reduce serum cholesterol levels and possibly reverse atherosclerotic plaque.
- Butternut root bark, known for ages as one of the
safest and mildest laxatives while helping in the secretion of bile.
Also helps to prevent and ward off worms.
- Fennel seed, a natural digestive aid that helps to eliminate flatulence.
- Peppermint leaves, used for centuries to aid
digestion, absorb intestinal gas, inhibit constipation and diarrhea, and
stimulate the secretion of bile. Peppermint also has the ability to
fight off and eliminate microorganisms such as parasites, influenza, and
many other viruses.
- Irish moss, a bulk laxative that soothes and coats the complete GI tract and helps eliminate heavy metals.
- Licorice root, a protector and healer of irritated mucous membranes that also supports adrenal gland function.
- Aniseed, an antispasmodic that helps eradicate bloating and gas.
- A special enzyme blend that targets digestion of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
- A probiotic blend that enhances immunity and helps with the absorption of the B vitamins and vitamin K.
