Product Facts Form: Liquid Serving Size: 1ML Number of Servings: 60 Dietary Restrictions Non-GMO, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Paleo, Nut-Free Health Interests Cellular Support, Antiviral, Autoimmune Protect Yourself from Mineral Deficiencies More Information Did you know that we have to eat significantly MORE food today to get the same nutrients our parents got in the past? It’s sad but true. Over-farming, chemical fertilizers and the stripping of nutrients to make processed foods means that food – even fresh fruits and vegetables -- are no longer what they used to be. "Government data from both American and the United Kingdom have shown that the concentration and range of essential nutrients in the food supply has declined in the last few decades, with double digit declines of iron, zinc, calcium, selenium and other essential nutrients across a wide range of foods."2 Today, it may come as no surprise that we are overfed and undernourished. When your body needs more food to get necessary nutrients, it is in effect, starving, even on higher quantities of food. And if you eat processed foods, which are stripped of most of their already low nutrient content, it’s no wonder obesity and fatigue are rampant these days. No matter where you look, you can see evidence that Americans are losing energy. From coffee to energy drinks, even kids and teens are looking for a quick energy boost to get through the day.  Enter trace minerals. What’s happened to our energy?Our diet is simply deficient in minerals. Even a healthy diet may lack the necessary minerals to boost your energy, detoxify and keep you feeling your best. In fact, your adrenals, your body’s chief energy producer (along with your thyroid), need a constant supply of trace minerals. These minerals have a variety of functions. Here's a quick list of some important minerals and what they do in your body: Magnesium helps convert blood sugar to energy, and is the 'anti-stress' mineral. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body; it initiates DNA synthesis, maintains bone health and strong teeth. Potassium maintains acid/alkaline balance in your blood. Zinc promotes proper nerve, immune and digestive health and boosts immunity. Phosphorous helps maintain heart regularity, provides energy and aids in metabolism of fats and starches. Minerals can even help you sleep better at night! Here are some of the symptoms that mineral deficiencies can cause: Acidic blood Constipation Low blood sugar Cravings Anxiety or hyperactivity Low energy Low libido Weight gain Aging Poor digestive health Low immunity In fact, studies show that mineral deficiencies are at the root of every serious health problem. "How can I get enough trace minerals in my diet?" For decades Body Ecology founder, Donna Gates, has been teaching about the importance of minerals to feed your adrenals and help your body heal. These days, most high quality mineral supplements come in liquid form, making them too difficult to use for your on-the-go lifestyle. Ancient Earth Minerals are the highest quality blend of humic, fulvic, micro and macro minerals and amino acids. Humic, fulvic, micro and macro minerals and amino acids have been shown to: Nourish your thyroid and adrenals Assist your body in cleansing Help maintain a youthful look Support immunity Help chelate heavy metals The fulvic and humic minerals (fulvic acid and humic acid) in Ancient Earth Minerals are compounds that act as mineral carriers that assist your body's cleansing pathways.  Research results suggest that humic and fulvic acid complexes enhance mineral and trace element uptake, supporting the maintenance of mineral and trace element balances without harmful buildup in the body's cells. Following dissociation of the minerals and trace elements delivered by the humic/fulvic acid complex, the residual humic acid/fulvic acid complex in Ancient Earth Minerals can chelate heavy metals along the intestinal tract, in turn supporting the body in cleansing heavy metal burdens in the digestive system. The only way the human body can benefit from mineral nutrients is if they are available to be absorbed. Ancient Earth Minerals enhances this absorption process by enabling minerals to pass through cell membranes. The average plant derived mineral is less than 0.00001 micron in size, conceivably the size of a red blood cell. The body is made up of 100 trillion cells that need constant mineral nutrients to support the energy level for healthy, vigorous life. The fulvic acid in Ancient Earth Minerals is the transporter to the body's cells and humic acid is the carrier of minerals, trace elements and amino acids.

Body Ecology Body Ecology - Assist SI (90caps)
£36.99
Highlights Made with 10 essential enzymes that may help facilitate cleansing* May support digestion in small intestine* May help assist the body with breaking down hard to digest fats* Non-GMO formula helps cleanse the body and support the immune system Suggested Usage Take 1 - 3 capsules with each meal. Combine with Assist Full Spectrum Enzymes and Assist Dairy & Protein for greater results. Product Facts Form: Capsules Serving Size: 1 capsules Number of Servings: 90 or less Dietary Restrictions Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Paleo, Nut-Free Health Interests Gut Support, Digestive Aid Maximize Your Food’s Potential to Nourish, Energize, and Heal! Unable to fully digest your food? Add more wood to the fire. Assist SI bolsters your digestion by delivering more enzymes to where you need them most—in your small intestine. This is where tiny finger-like villi reach out and seize nutrients, pulling them into your bloodstream. But if you don’t have enough enzymes to break apart large molecules of food, the villi can’t do their job. And unabsorbed food ferments in the small intestine, creating painful gas and irregular bowel movements. Assist SI delivers the same enzymes that your pancreas releases into the opening of the small intestine, ensuring your villi have something to grab on to and that you get the nutrition you need. Suggestions For UseTake 1 - 3 capsules with each meal. Combine with Assist Full Spectrum Enzymes and Assist Dairy & Protein for greater results. Contains all the enzymes that your small intestine requires Provides maximum absorption Breaks down hard-to-digest dairy May help tone the intestinal wall May help eliminate bloating and gas May help bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) Supports regular, healthy bowel movements Non-GMO, dairy-free, soy-free, and gluten-free Want to get more out of your meals? Assist-SI™ is a dietary supplement that maximizes your food’s potential to nourish and energize! Although your small intestine is something you may not give much thought to, it’s the place where most of the digestion and absorption of your food occurs. Small Intestine Facts: Between 13 and 20 feet long (if over 5 yrs of age) Only about 1-1¼ inch in diameter Surface area covers the size of a tennis court Responsible for digesting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins Lengthens and loses muscle tone due to aging If your small intestine isn't working, it really doesn't matter what you eat, since you won't be getting the nutrients you need. You're not getting the full value from your food; plain and simple. For so many of us, this means that our commitment to a healthy diet isn't giving us any of the health and wellness payoffs we were hoping for simply because our small intestine isn't in balance. If the small intestine is not functioning optimally, precious nutrients from your food will leave your body in the form of waste. Many digestive enzyme products only assist the digestive process as it occurs in the stomach. Because ph and acid levels in the stomach are different than those in the small intestine, these products essentially stop working when they enter the small intestine, where the ph level is much higher. Don't let your food go to waste! Body Ecology has created a new digestive aid specifically designed to protect and enhance the function of your small intestine. ASSIST SI is a super pancreatic enzyme that turns your small intestine into a digestion powerhouse to quickly absorb proteins, fats, and carbohydrates while detoxifying and toning the small intestine, ensuring nutrient-rich blood and happy, healthy cells. How do you know if you need Assist SI? You may have common symptoms like: Abdominal bloating and discomfort an hour or more after a meal Indigestion Gas Undigested food passed into your stool Intestinal candida overgrowth Why is it important to take a pancreatin supplement?Healthy intestinal function and a balanced intestinal environment are essential to overall health and resistance to disease. But achieving this can be challenging. The pancreas, a small gland located near the stomach, is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones that regulate blood sugar. Due to diets high in mineral depleted food, cooked food, and sugar and stressful living, the pancreas becomes overtaxed and unable to complete its function. Assist SI is a pancreatin - a booster blend of naturally occurring pancreatic enzymes. This will provide natural enzymes that your pancreas already produces, which many people are unknowingly deficient in. Taken with food, pancreatin acts as a digestive enzyme. Taken on an empty stomach, it becomes what is known as a SYSTEMIC ENZYME, working throughout your body and affecting every organ. What Assist SI will do for you Helps digest vital nutrients in your small intestine May help support the small intestine Assists with digestion of milk proteins in dairy foods Promotes regular bowel function and elimination of toxins Maintains a healthy balance of intestinal microflora (beneficial bacteria) Used as an effective systemic enzyme Assist SI fits perfectly into our full line of digestive enzymes, which work hand-in-hand to create a healthy and robust digestive system: Take 1 -3 Assist SI with every meal, combining with Assist and Assist Dairy and Protein as follows: Assist Full Spectrum Enzymes | Take 1 - 2 capsules with every vegetable/starch meal Assist Dairy & Protein | Take 1 - 2 capsules with every vegetable/dairy/protein meal Pancreatic enzymes in Assist SI that help facilitate digestion and cleansing: Pancreatin - contains the digestive enzymes trypsin, amylase, and lipase Protease - an enzyme that helps break down proteins Amylase - an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar Lipase - an enzyme that breaks apart fat molecules Papain - an enzyme found naturally in unripe papayas which assists in the breakdown of food Bromelain - a mixture of enzymes found in the juice and stems of pineapples, it assists in the digestion of protein Lipase (alkaline) - an enzyme with an alkaline base that breaks down fats in foods Lipase (acid) - an enzyme with an acid base that breaks down fats in foods Trypsin & Chymotrypsin - these proteases break down proteins into basic amino acids Alpha Galactosidase - an enzyme that helps to break down complex or branching sugars (polysaccharides and oligosaccharides) in foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables Recommended Serving Size and InstructionsTake 1 - 3 capsules with each meal.

£23.99
Highlights Safe, sweet, smooth, all-natural sugar alternative with no aftertaste Featuring a special combination of allulose + monk fruit + stevia Easy to use as a zero-calorie one-to-one sugar swap Diabetic-safe, gluten-free, plant-based Body Ecology | Keto | Low-Carb | Paleo-friendly (1) Rich, sugar-like sweetness Try it for yourself and see! Suggested Usage Use as you would or simple syrup or honey. Or add to your desired sweetness. Be Sweet is a 1:1 sugar replacement. Product Facts Form: Liquid Serving Size: 1 tsp. (6g) Number of Servings:114 Dietary Restrictions No net carbs and No impact on blood sugar – SAFE FOR DIABETICS. Non-GMO, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, Keto, Paleo, Nut-Free. Health Interests Ideal for low carb, Keto and Paleo diets Three cheers for a safe sugar substitute with an authentically sweet taste! You will love Body Ecology’s new BE Sweet ™ liquid and powder, all-natural sugar replacement... Not only is it made from a specialized blend of three of the safest sugar substitutes, but it is also incredibly delicious, bitter-free, and satisfyingly sweet without an aftertaste. Our sugar alternative is made from a perfect blend of monk fruit, stevia, and allulose, leaving your sweet tooth satisfied. Stevia and monk fruit are familiar all-natural sugar substitutes. However, allulose might be new to you.  This is another safe and healthy sugar substitute that has only recently come to fame. Allulose has a similar texture, taste, and feel as table sugar and is found naturally in a variety of foods we eat daily, such as figs, corn, and raisins.  Expect to start hearing much more about allulose -- and, soon, seeing it everywhere so you can enjoy an uncompromised taste of sweetness! Allulose is considered “rare sugar.” What this means is that it is found in small quantities of foods we already regularly enjoy.  Once your body metabolizes allulose, it has a glycemic index of zero net carbs.  Allulose is low in calories and can pass through your body without significant metabolism needed. (1) Studies suggest allulose may suppress the glycemic response of other carbohydrates when consumed with a meal. (2)  In fact, because of how allulose metabolizes, it is considered non-glycemic.  Here’s a closer look at what makes BE Sweet™ so special: Ideal for low-carb diets: BE Sweet™ contains  0 grams of net carbs per teaspoon. You can use it just like sugar. Safe for diabetics. Since allulose doesn’t need to be metabolized -- and has a tenth of the calories of sugar, it will not elevate blood sugar levels. (3) Safe for everyone. As of 2012, the FDA has deemed allulose GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and suitable to use as a substitute for sugar and fructose. (4)  Great for the gut. Studies show allulose to be a well-tolerated sugar alternative that doesn’t cause gastrointestinal troubles. (5) Looks like the real thing: BE Sweet™ powder caramelizes and browns just like sugar, while BE Sweet™ liquid dissolves easily in hot/cold beverages (like coffee and tea). Tastes even better: No need to trick your tastebuds. Reviewers agree that, compared to sugar, BE Sweet™ is downright delicious.  We know sugar isn’t good for us. Think fatigue, potential tumor growth, and an increased risk for heart disease risk among seemingly healthy people. (6-8) Plus, sugar can cause a hangover! After a sugar binge, you can experience the same symptoms you’d expect after a late night of drinking too much alcohol.  Think foggy minds, mood swings, and other negative physical responses. Sugar might taste good, but it just isn’t good for us.  When you eat too much sugar, candida yeast will flood your body with a toxic byproduct called acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an organic chemical compound your body makes that is considered a probable human carcinogen.  It is also the compound that is behind hangovers and hangover-like symptoms. This means you can expect to experience hangover-like symptoms after eating too much sugar. Keep in mind that most natural sugars will feed candida.  Eating too much sugar has to the capacity to destroy your immune system and potentially create more uncontrollable sugar cravings. (9) It is also important to remember our human desire for sweet-tasting foods and drinks is nothing to be ashamed of -- or suppressed! It’s quite normal. Our very first food, mother's milk, was warm and sweet, and we've formed an emotional bond with this taste. Avoiding sweets isn’t the answer.  The solution lies in finding a satisfying and safe sugar swap that you actually enjoy and is good for you!   At Body Ecology, we recommend eliminating sugar until you’ve healed candida or have seen improvement in other areas of your health. Once you have eliminated it, we suggest keeping it out of your diet as much as possible.  This will help you avoid the sugar hangover, sugar cravings and promote health and slow aging. With BE Sweet™, you don’t need a reason to celebrate Bottom line? Now, with BE Sweet, you can have your cake and eat it too! BE Sweet is the natural sugar substitute we all have been waiting for.  And not only does it allow us to kick our sugar habits, it is also healthy! With zero chemical aftertaste and the simple taste of real sugar, BE Sweet is perfect for everyone! We created BE Sweet™ so you can stop your sugar intake and celebrate a new healthy, sweet alternative your body deserves. Even better, by switching to Be Sweet, you can even kick your sugar cravings and eliminate your sweet tooth.  Multiple studies show that low-calorie sweeteners don’t cause more cravings like sugar would. (10,11) Even without sugar, life can still be sweet. Now, the only decision you need to make is whether you want the BE Sweet™ liquid or powder. We think it is best to stock up on both to simplify cooking and baking, sweetening all types of foods and beverages, and cover your bases.

Health Interests Ideal for low carb, Keto and Paleo diets Three cheers for a safe sugar substitute with an authentically sweet taste! You will love Body Ecology’s new BE Sweet ™ liquid and powder, all-natural sugar replacement... Not only is it made from a specialized blend of three of the safest sugar substitutes, but it is also incredibly delicious, bitter-free, and satisfyingly sweet without an aftertaste. Our sugar alternative is made from a perfect blend of monk fruit, stevia, and allulose, leaving your sweet tooth satisfied. Stevia and monk fruit are familiar all-natural sugar substitutes. However, allulose might be new to you.  This is another safe and healthy sugar substitute that has only recently come to fame. Allulose has a similar texture, taste, and feel as table sugar and is found naturally in a variety of foods we eat daily, such as figs, corn, and raisins.  Expect to start hearing much more about allulose -- and, soon, seeing it everywhere so you can enjoy an uncompromised taste of sweetness! Allulose is considered “rare sugar.” What this means is that it is found in small quantities of foods we already regularly enjoy.  Once your body metabolizes allulose, it has a glycemic index of zero net carbs.  Allulose is low in calories and can pass through your body without significant metabolism needed. (1) Studies suggest allulose may suppress the glycemic response of other carbohydrates when consumed with a meal. (2)  In fact, because of how allulose metabolizes, it is considered non-glycemic.  Here’s a closer look at what makes BE Sweet™ so special: Ideal for low-carb diets: BE Sweet™ contains  0 grams of net carbs per teaspoon. You can use it just like sugar. Safe for diabetics. Since allulose doesn’t need to be metabolized -- and has a tenth of the calories of sugar, it will not elevate blood sugar levels. (3) Safe for everyone. As of 2012, the FDA has deemed allulose GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and suitable to use as a substitute for sugar and fructose. (4) Great for the gut. Studies show allulose to be a well-tolerated sugar alternative that doesn’t cause gastrointestinal troubles. (5) Looks like the real thing: BE Sweet™ powder caramelizes and browns just like sugar, while BE Sweet™ liquid dissolves easily in hot/cold beverages (like coffee and tea). Tastes even better: No need to trick your tastebuds. Reviewers agree that, compared to sugar, BE Sweet™ is downright delicious. We know sugar isn’t good for us. Think fatigue, potential tumor growth, and an increased risk for heart disease risk among seemingly healthy people. (6-8) Plus, sugar can cause a hangover! After a sugar binge, you can experience the same symptoms you’d expect after a late night of drinking too much alcohol.  Think foggy minds, mood swings, and other negative physical responses. Sugar might taste good, but it just isn’t good for us.  When you eat too much sugar, candida yeast will flood your body with a toxic byproduct called acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an organic chemical compound your body makes that is considered a probable human carcinogen.  It is also the compound that is behind hangovers and hangover-like symptoms. This means you can expect to experience hangover-like symptoms after eating too much sugar. Keep in mind that most natural sugars will feed candida.  Eating too much sugar has to the capacity to destroy your immune system and potentially create more uncontrollable sugar cravings. (9) It is also important to remember our human desire for sweet-tasting foods and drinks is nothing to be ashamed of -- or suppressed! It’s quite normal. Our very first food, mother's milk, was warm and sweet, and we've formed an emotional bond with this taste. Avoiding sweets isn’t the answer.  The solution lies in finding a satisfying and safe sugar swap that you actually enjoy and is good for you!   At Body Ecology, we recommend eliminating sugar until you’ve healed candida or have seen improvement in other areas of your health. Once you have eliminated it, we suggest keeping it out of your diet as much as possible.  This will help you avoid the sugar hangover, sugar cravings and promote health and slow aging.  With BE Sweet™, you don’t need a reason to celebrate Bottom line? Now, with BE Sweet, you can have your cake and eat it too! BE Sweet is the natural sugar substitute we all have been waiting for.  And not only does it allow us to kick our sugar habits, it is also healthy! With zero chemical aftertaste and the simple taste of real sugar, BE Sweet is perfect for everyone! We created BE Sweet™ so you can stop your sugar intake and celebrate a new healthy, sweet alternative your body deserves. Even better, by switching to Be Sweet, you can even kick your sugar cravings and eliminate your sweet tooth.  Multiple studies show that low-calorie sweeteners don’t cause more cravings like sugar would. (10,11) Even without sugar, life can still be sweet. Now, the only decision you need to make is whether you want the BE Sweet™ liquid or powder. We think it is best to stock up on both to simplify cooking and baking, sweetening all types of foods and beverages, and cover your bases.

You might be familiar with traditionally cultured beets -- like beet kvass, the probiotic tonic that’s been enjoyed in Russia and Ukraine for centuries. What you may not know is that beets are making a comeback. Especially the fermented variety.   Beets, while delicious and nutritious, have been overlooked in our modern world. But as more research explores and confirms their benefits, expect to see them popping up everywhere, at your favorite restaurant or even on your dinner table. Fermenting solves the sugar problem -- a major concern for many -- neutralizing much of beets’ sugar content with the help of beneficial bacteria that take gut health to the next level.   Here are some of the biggest reasons to love Body Ecology’s BeetBiotic™: Extra-nutritious. A beet beats a banana when it comes to potassium levels. Beets are also rich in folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A and C.  Energy-boosting protein. Fermenting naturally breaks down protein into amino acids your body can use. BeetBiotic™ is an easy-to-digest source of vegetarian protein.  Blood pressure balancer. Diets high in certain fruits and vegetables, and beetroot juice, in particular, has been shown to potentially have a balancing effect on blood pressure.3 Heart protective. COPD and heart failure patients supplementing beetroot have seen exercise duration increase.4 The COPD patients also had lower blood pressure.5  Sports drink alternative - As good for your gut as it is convenient, BeetBiotic™ also helps hydrate and improve performance. Beetroot has helped elite cyclists finish faster.6 Better overall health. Probiotics make robust health possible by aiding in digestion and nutrient uptake. They even help produce key vitamins, like B and K, for healing.7 What really makes beets so hard to beat is their exceptional nitrate levels. Nitrates are natural chemicals your body converts into nitric oxide (NO), which works as a vasodilator. This explains beets’ profound effect on the heart and blood pressure. NO is also a big supporter of detoxification, lung function, and immunity.8,9 Not having enough NO can elevate your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, and diabetes.10-13 BeetBiotic™ has unbeatable benefits. You’ll get more than you bargained for with these ingredients: Organic beetroot - A reliable source of nitrates that is also alkalizing, i.e., soothing to your body, when fermented.  Organic biodynamic brown rice - A high-protein brown rice made even more nutrient-rich through intuitive, biodynamic farming. Organic ginger - A spicy root used in ancient China and India for millennia, helping to ease nausea, aches, inflammation, infection, and even asthma.14 Organic fennel seed - A medicinal seed, rich in nitrates and traditionally consumed in India, known to regulate blood pressure, appetite, and digestion.15 Organic maqui berry - A powerful superfruit revered by indigenous Chilean people, offering support for the eyes, heart, gut, blood pressure, and inflammation.16,17 Organic millet - A nutritious, high-protein "grain-like" seed that can help stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol.18 Organic pulses - A high-protein blend of mung beans, chickpeas, and lentils made more bioavailable (and digestible) when fermented.  Organic quinoa - A mineral-rich "grain-like" seed prized for being a complete protein (containing all nine essential amino acids). Raw and cooked beets are brimming with good-for-you compounds and phytochemicals -- including betacyanin, the oxygen-promoting plant pigment that gives beets their bright-red color.  But fermented beets still can’t be beat, thanks to their low sugar content and potent probiotic profile. The sugar in raw beets can feed the opportunistic yeast candida, producing potentially harmful oxalates that may cause painful kidney stones to form. Fermenting breaks down the sugar in beets, and beneficial L. plantarum bacteria help degrade oxalates.  You don’t have to settle for less. Naturally fermenting beets helps preserve their nutrients and enhance their health benefits. Fermenting even cuts down on levels of antinutrients that can make it harder to absorb critical minerals. Beets cultured with superior probiotic strains like L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, and L. delbreukii are hardy enough to survive the trip through the digestive tract, successfully reaching and recolonizing their destination: your intestines.19 How to use: Aim to drink 2 to 3 ounces per day as a probiotic power shot, to support good gut health and for maintenance. Drink as needed and as desired throughout the day, and get creative: Mix BeetBiotic™ into a smoothie, mocktail or cocktail, mineral water, kefir, or salad dressing for an energy boost or to calm digestive troubles. Or use it to inoculate your next batch of cultured vegetables. *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Gut Support, Probiotics, Digestive Aid Not all probiotics are created equal. Body Ecology's Bifidus Power Blend has been carefully crafted to feature four probiotic strains of bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria are native to the gut of a healthy, breastfed baby, but their numbers gradually decline as you age – and not without consequence! An aging gut is at the root of chronic disease and recurring illness. Good Health Begins at Birth One month after birth, bifidobacteria dominate a healthy, breastfed baby's gut – making up as much as 91 percent of the microbes that live there.1 These good-for-you bacteria help to tone the gut barrier and cultivate a strong immune system. But unfortunately, not everyone starts out with a microbial ecosystem ruled by bifidobacteria. There are a few factors that disrupt a baby's gut: Premature birth Cesarean section delivery Use of baby formula Antibiotic use The bad news is that babies are born via C-section, fed formula, and given antibiotics on the regular. Chances are high that one of these happened in your own life when you were a baby. But at what cost? While your own story is unique, science illuminates specific trends. For example – during infancy, bifidobacteria turn up the volume on one arm of your immune system, regulating its activity. Without high numbers of good bifidobacteria, your immune system falls out of balance. With this, your risk of inflammation, autoimmune disease, and eczema goes up.2 It turns out that in adults and babies alike, bifidobacteria can curb inflammatory signals that have spun out of control and have led to gastrointestinal distress.3 This includes: Constipation Diarrhea Inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis Necrotizing enterocolitis (seen in babies) Bifidobacteria are able to reduce intestinal permeability and seal a leaky gut.* They take control of the inner ecosystem and push the bad bacteria bullies out. 4 Time Is Not on Your Side If you were breastfed as a baby, special sugars in breast milk made sure your baby ecosystem was thriving with plenty of bifidobacteria. However, as you move into adulthood, your bifidobacteria decline. Under the right circumstances, this is okay – you want diversity and a healthy mix of microbes. But if a drop in healthy tribes of good bacteria involves antibiotics or a diet filled with processed foods, this can impact your overall immune health. Remember, bifidobacteria fight inflammation and keep the gut healthy. They're essential in warding off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year. As you age, a high-quality probiotic like the Bifidus Power Blend can support both your immune system and your digestion. When the Bifidus Power Blend becomes a regular part of your day, you'll have the support you need to fight off infections and clean up cellular waste. You can rest assured that the Bifidus Power Blend has been expertly formulated to include only the very best probiotic strains for your health. Trust Your Gut Feeling As the Principle of Uniqueness reminds us, you know your body, and if you listen close enough, you will intuitively understand what your body needs to function at its best. Relying on this natural "gut feeling" to nurture and improve your health is not to be underestimated. If you have digestive issues, large or small, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a daily probiotic can help to correct your course. In our specially formulated Bifidus Power Blend, you'll find: Bifidobacterium longum (UABl-14) - Research shows that B. longum can reduce cholesterol, promote weight loss, and relieve constipation.5 In older adults, B. longum minimizes flu and cold-like symptoms – such as fatigue, headache, and runny nose.6 In 2011, scientists found that B. longum could reduce anxiety by way of the gut-brain axis.7 Bifidobacterium bifidum (UABb-10) - Like its bifidobacteria friends, B. bifidum reduces markers of inflammation. 8 One study published in 2011 even found that a probiotic containing only B. bifidum was enough to significantly improve signs of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), such as bloating, abdominal pain, and gas. 9Research shows that B. bifidum (along with B. lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus) can safeguard against eczema when taken in the third trimester of pregnancy.10 And because bifidobacteria levels decrease with age – increasing your risk of infection – researchers found that supplementing with B. bifidum helps to rebuild the inner ecosystem, even after supplementation has ended. 11 Bifidobacterium breve (Bb-03) - In children with constipation, B. breve increases bowel movements, softens stool, and reduces pain related to constipation.12 In animal studies, researchers found that B. breve suppresses weight gain, improving both cholesterol and blood sugar.13 Other research published in 2015 shows that a probiotic blend of Lactobacillus rhamnosous and B. breve might have an anti-inflammatory effect in cigarette smokers.14 Bifidobacteria infantis (Bi-26) - In 2013, researchers looked closely at the impact of B. infantis on inflammatory disorders that manifested within the gut or outside the gut. Patients had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, or chronic fatigue syndrome. In all cases, B. infantis has the ability to trim down inflammatory markers.15 In those with celiac disease who are still consuming gluten, B. infantis reduces inflammatory markers as well as indigestion, reflux, and constipation.16 The importance of a healthy gut, and how gut health can affect all areas of your life, can't be overstated. Grasping this truth — that the gut is the source — can bring about an empowering and often radical change. "You have control over what is happening in your gut. The microbiome is evolving every minute, and it's easily manipulated," says Donna Gates, gut health pioneer and creator of The Body Ecology Diet. "People have said for a long time that disease begins in the gut. Of course, health begins there as well. That's very important to understand because you can fix your gut, and when you do, then you can radiate health. This is always the first place to start: Fix your gut." *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Body Ecology Body Ecology - Black Cumin Seed Oil (90caps)
£29.99
Highlights Known to effectively attack fungal growth, our high-potency Black Cumin Seed Oil formula may help you: Strengthen your body's defense against recurring infections* Speed up the elimination of stubborn fungal overgrowth* Restore balance to your gut microbiome* Enhance digestion and nutrient absorption* Support healthier energy levels and overall wellness* A Smarter Approach to Antifungal Support Traditional remedies for fungal overgrowth often rely on harsh chemicals that can disrupt gut health further. Black Cumin Seed Oil offers a gentler, natural alternative that doesn’t sacrifice effectiveness. By supporting both gut health and immune function, it has the potential to keep fungal infections at bay without the side effects of synthetic treatments. Suggested Usage Take 3 capsules daily, preferably with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Product Facts Form: Capsules Serving Size: 3 caps Number of Servings: 30 Dietary Restrictions Non-GMO, Vegan Health Interests Candida, Gut Support, Digestive Aid, Detoxification Your Secret Weapon Against Recurring Candida Infections  Did you know that up to 45% of people experience recurrent Candida infections within a year of conventional treatment?  Making lifestyle changes (such as the ones laid out in the Body Ecology diet!) is a great first step to tackling Candida overgrowth. But, adding our Black Cumin Seed Oil to your protocol can further strengthen your defense against recurrence. Why is this so important? Because Candida often hides deep within the gut lining and other tissues, making it difficult to fully eliminate with diet alone. This stealthy fungus can linger in small amounts, waiting for the right conditions to multiply and cause another overgrowth.  That’s why incorporating our Black Cumin Seed Oil into your routine is so essential. Its potent antifungal properties, thanks to a special compound called thymoquinone, not only address Candida at its source for immediate relief but also provide long-term defense against recurring infections, helping to prevent it from taking hold again. In a 2023 study published in Metabolites, thymoquinone significantly hindered the growth of Candida albicans, the most common strain, by attacking its cell walls. This means Black Cumin Seed Oil makes it tough for Candida to stick around and cause more trouble!  Additionally, Black Cumin Seed Oil has been found to support immune function, which is key for preventing Candida overgrowth, as it helps your body identify and eliminate harmful pathogens more effectively. The Science Behind Black Cumin Seed Oil’s Natural Antifungal Power Although supporting Candida prevention is one of its most notable uses, Black Cumin Seed Oil works through a combination of powerful compounds that naturally protect your whole body from fungal overgrowth and helps promote overall well-being: Breaks Down Harmful Cell Membranes*: The active compound in Black Cumin Seed Oil, thymoquinone, may be able to target fungal imbalances by disrupting the cellular membranes of harmful fungi such as Candida. Its antifungal action is known to be highly effective in controlling yeast populations and maintaining a balanced microbiome. Anti-Inflammatory Properties*: Black Cumin Seed Oil may also help manage inflammation throughout the body, which is crucial when dealing with fungal infections. Chronic inflammation often goes hand-in-hand with gut imbalances, so Black Cumin Seed Oil may help alleviate symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and discomfort. Immune System Support*: By supporting immune function, Black Cumin Seed Oil can help your body naturally fend off recurring fungal infections. According to research, its antimicrobial properties may stave off harmful fungi and bacteria from taking root, promoting a more resilient immune system. Gut Health Restoration*: Black Cumin Seed Oil’s natural compounds are known to support the gut lining and enhance digestion. By promoting a healthy gut environment, the oil helps maintain the balance of good bacteria and may prevent overgrowth of harmful fungi like Candida. Skin and Hair Support*: Thanks to its rich antioxidant content, Black Cumin Seed Oil also supports healthy skin and hair by reducing microbial overgrowth and supporting collagen production. Pure and Natural, Without Compromise Our Black Cumin Seed Oil is 100% natural, free from synthetic fillers, preservatives, and artificial colors. With purity as our highest priority, every bottle delivers the full power of nature to support your health, without any unwanted additives.    References:  https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/candidiasis https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S104366181500050X  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128185537000115 https://colab.ws/articles/10.1016%2Fj.tim.2023.08.002  https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/black-seed-oil-benefits Warning: If you are pregnant or nursing, please consult your healthcare professional before using this product.

Candida Clear is designed with one goal in mind: to help you take control of candida overgrowth and restore balance to your gut health. Formulated with potent ingredients like Oregano Leaf Powder and Caprylic Acid, this powerful blend targets Candida's "sticky" walls to break them down and support their elimination from your system. Highlights Supports the body's natural defenses against candida overgrowth* Enzyme blend aids in the digestion and breakdown of candida cells* Supports the body's natural defenses against candida overgrowth* Formulated with potent anti-candida ingredients like Oregano Leaf Powder and Caprylic Acid* Promotes a healthy balance of gut flora and supports gut health* Suggested Usage Take 3 capsules daily, preferably with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Product Facts Form: Capsules Serving Size: 3 caps Number of Servings: 30 Health Interests Candida, Gut Support, Digestive Aid, Detoxification Your Ultimate Defense Against Candida Overgrowth Candida is an opportunistic yeast naturally found in the digestive tract and on the skin. Candida overgrowth in the digestive tract and systemic Candida overgrowth throughout the body can affect every level of health—from your digestion to your mood. In those with a compromised immune system, Candida overgrowth is the most common infection in intensive care units.1 Candida is also the fourth most common infection picked up at hospitals.2 According to a report published by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Candida is increasingly resistant to drug therapy—making it a “serious threat” to the American public, along with general antibiotic resistance.3 The good news? Candida CLR is designed to combat this growing threat.  With a unique blend of natural ingredients, our formula supports your body's defenses against Candida overgrowth, helping you maintain optimal health and well-being. How Candida CLR Supports Candida Elimination Oregano Leaf Powder: A powerful antifungal that inhibits the growth of Candida albicans, helping to prevent and reduce overgrowth. Oregano oil, a key component of oregano leaf, has been shown to disrupt the cell membrane of Candida and inhibit its growth (Force et al., 2000). Caprylic Acid: A medium-chain fatty acid that penetrates the cell walls of Candida, causing them to rupture and die. Caprylic acid has been demonstrated to effectively reduce Candida colonization in the gut, as evidenced by its ability to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans in vitro (Omura et al., 2001). LactoSpore® (Bacillus coagulans): A probiotic that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut, creating an inhospitable environment for Candida overgrowth. Bacillus coagulans produces lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the gut and inhibits the growth of harmful microbes (Hyronimus et al., 2000). Protease & Cellulase: Enzymes that break down the proteins and cell walls of Candida, effectively reducing its ability to thrive. These enzymes expose Candida to the immune system and other antifungal agents by degrading its protective barriers (Kirkpatrick, 2000). Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing properties, Aloe Vera helps support the healing of the gut lining, which can be damaged by Candida overgrowth. Aloe Vera also has antifungal properties that can help reduce Candida levels in the gut (Vazquez et al., 1996). Arabinogalactan: A prebiotic fiber that supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, further helping to control Candida levels. Arabinogalactan enhances the immune response, which can help the body fight off Candida overgrowth (Dion et al., 1996). Anise Seed: Contains antifungal compounds that aid in the elimination of Candida. Anise seed has been traditionally used to treat digestive issues and may help reduce Candida levels in the gut (Cai et al., 2006). Black Walnut Hull Powder: Acts as a gentle laxative to help flush Candida and other toxins from the body. Black walnut hulls contain juglone, a compound with potent antifungal properties (Feng et al., 2009). Reishi Mushroom: Supports the immune system and helps the body adapt to stress, which can be a trigger for Candida overgrowth. Reishi mushroom has immune-modulating effects that can help the body fight off Candida (Lull et al., 2005). Suggested Use: Take 3 capsules daily, preferably with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional. For best results, combine Candida CLR with a diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, and high in fiber and healthy fats. Remember, a healthy gut is key to a healthy body!

Holiday Mocktails and Mixers *CocoBiotic is made from organic grains and wild-crafted coconuts that are not sprayed with any chemicals. CocoBiotic utilizes Grainfields proprietary FermFlora natural organic fermentation process. And just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a probiotic based on slick marketing. Important: Many probiotics boast about how many different strains of beneficial bacteria they include, or the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) they contain. Unfortunately, these numbers can be misleading. The bacteria may not be natural to the human GI tract, or even be compatible with each other. Instead of looking for the most strains or the most CFUs, you must look for how viable and active the cultures are and how well they will work in your gut. CocoBiotic contains a smart blend of beneficial bacteria and yeast specifically chosen to work in a symbiotic or mutually beneficial way. Lactobacillus acidophilus Lactobacillus delbreukii One of the key reasons that CocoBiotic is such a super probiotic is due to its bioavailability as a fermented liquid food, rather than an ordinary capsule supplement. This way, the beneficial microflora in CocoBiotic’s unique fermented beverage can withstand harsh stomach acids to reach the walls of the intestine and recolonize it more effectively than capsule probiotic supplements. Includes "built-in" prebioticsJust like you need food to live on, the probiotics require their own food source called prebiotics. With CocoBiotic, you don’t need to worry about buying additional prebiotic supplements. That's because CocoBiotic contains the beneficial enzyme-producing yeasts that friendly bacteria love to feed on. Your Foundation of Wellness: Creating A Healthy And Happy Gut The key to enhanced and vibrant health is restoring and maintaining your inner ecosystem in your digestive tract, which means promoting the growth of beneficial intestinal microflora. These vital organisms help your body defend against disease-causing bacteria, viruses, yeast and other dangerous invaders. What’s the most effective way to create a healthy inner ecosystem? By far, two of the most beneficial "edible tools" to promote a healthy gut are: Cultured vegetables Young coconut kefir or Body Ecology’s Probiotic Liquids You may see probiotics sold in small jars, as a powder or packaged into capsules. But the best probiotics are found in fermented foods and our probiotics. Why? Because the probiotics in fermented foods are alive. And they are more likely to survive the perils of the digestive tract. The probiotics found in fermented foods are surrounded by a “protective delivery matrix.” This keeps them safe from stomach acid, bile, and digestive juices as they move from your mouth and into your colon (where they populate and set up a healthy and happy home.) And many probiotic supplement products on the market vary greatly in their potency and effectiveness (as well as their cost). They do not live up to their claims. Some are not even natural. So we do the work for you to provide you the highest quality probiotics so you can: Save time and effort on culturing your own coconut water and fermented your own vegetables at home Enjoy the convenience and ease of having a portable probiotic liquid Maintain your busy lifestyle while maintaining great health Warning: If you are pregnant or nursing, please consult your healthcare professional before using this product.

Gut Support, Probiotics, Digestive Aid GI Distress Relief™ is Body Ecology’s key to high-quality, live probiotic products.  Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are proven to support a healthy digestive system.  What many consumers don’t know is that not all probiotics are the same. In fact, not all probiotics make it to your gut intact! The type of strains of bacteria and yeasts in your probiotics matter.  You need something strong, resilient, and most importantly, effective.   Our formula contains a superstar blend of microscopic strains of specific bacteria and yeast. This superstar blend is more likely to survive the acidic journey through the stomach and into the colon, which may help rejuvenate your overall gut health. (1) Fact: GI Distress Relief™ contains 50 billion good microscopic alchemists per serving. Forty billion Bifidobacteria -- made up of two proven Bifidus lactis (Howaru HN019 and Bl-04) strains -- combined with 10 billion S. boulardii -- a beneficial yeast that helps fight candida -- are ready and able to reach and colonize your GI tract.   Healthy Gut, Healthy Life: Give Your Gut The Support It Needs Gut health has been connected to digestion, mood, overall health, immunity, and even the way people think!  Taking the time to heal your gut is a sure path to improving overall health.  The first step is to understand what conditions you may be suffering from.  The second step is to take a probiotic that offers the right strains of bacteria and yeast that are known to promote a healthy gut microbiome. As we continue to learn more about microbiomes (this is the collection of microbes that live inside and on our bodies that keep us healthy), scientists are realizing the complexity of our microbiomes and how certain strains of bacteria in the same species can have significantly different characteristics and properties.  For example: Within the species of Bifidus, the Bifidus lactis strain Howaru has been shown to help resolve irritable bowel disease. (2) Not all strains of Bifidus have this ability. Most importantly, some strains of bacteria, viruses, or yeast in a species can survive the long journey through your digestive tract, and some can’t. Some secrete certain substances that are useful to other microbes living in the same area, and some within the same species can be harmful. This is also true for yeast. When choosing a probiotic, you must choose one that provides strains that can make the journey and support the overall health of your gut.  For example: Candida albicans is a pathogenic yeast, which can lead to unwanted infections.  However,  Saccharomyces boulardii is a wonderful yeast that helps control pathogenic yeast and promotes overall health.  S. boulardii may help negate gliotoxin, a nasty toxin that candida and mold make to suppress the immune system. (4) Different strains of microbes perform different jobs. We have selected our specific strains for their demonstrated effectiveness in supporting healthy guts.  Strain-specific probiotics (with research showing the conditions they treat) are the future. You can find two superstar strains in Body Ecology’s GI Distress Relief™: Why We Choose To Focus on B. lactis BL-04 and B. lactis HN019 Bifidobacteria is plush in your system as an infant if you are breastfed.  However, as you age, this essential bacteria diminishes - to almost nothing in the elderly.  The lack of this important bacteria can lead to gut dysbiosis.  Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance of gut microflora, or microbial community, which leads to illness and inflammation.  Simply put, it is when harmful bacteria have overpowered good bacteria in your gut, which can lead to depression, bloating, and other maladies.  When healthy bacterias are often overwhelmed by harmful bacteria due to antibiotics, stress, poor sleep, hygiene, infections, and especially a chemically-laden, processed-food diet, this can negatively impact your immunity. Bifidobacteria help fight inflammation, protect your gut lining, and maintain a balanced environment. (3) They're essential in helping to ward off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. (3) This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year.  This is also why taking GI Distress Relief™ is so important to your overall health.  As you age, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ — containing the B. lactis HN019 strain shown to be especially helpful to older people and those with gut infections — can help support both your immune system and your digestive function. (4) The Journey of Good Health Begins In The Gut A healthy gut is the root of a healthy life.  A healthy gut directly impacts all aspects of your life, including mood, cognition, immunity, digestion, and overall health and well-being.  If you want a healthy life, functional medical practitioners know “First, fix the gut.”  Regardless of your health struggles, a healthy gut is key to improving your immune system and finding overall health and wellness.  Your gut is your key to good health.  When you heal your gut, you are empowered to shift your entire wellbeing and positively impact how well you age.  You have control over what’s happening in your gut! Even when struggling with chronic symptoms and illness, the steps you take to support your gut can lead to overall improvements in your health. Your microbiome is evolving every minute, and can easily be guided to improve. While you may already know that disease begins in your gut, your health also originates there. (5) This is critical to understand. When you help your gut recover, you positively influence your health and your longevity. Support your gut’s repair with these standout ingredients in GI Distress Relief™: Bifidus lactis - These two scientifically-supported strains, B. lactis Bl-04® and B. lactis HN019, have a long list of benefits. B. lactis Bl-04® may help improve hay fever, allergies, and immune response while helping to decrease side effects from antibiotics. (6,7) B. lactis HN019 may promote better immunity and bowel elimination while helping to relieve constipation. (8,9) Saccharomyces boulardii - S. boulardii is one of the few probiotic yeasts that scientists have studied in the context of type 2 diabetes. (10) In animal studies, researchers found that S. boulardii may help minimize liver damage and inflammation. It also safeguards against diarrhea and can break down toxins from pathogenic bacteria, including the anthrax toxin. (11) Sunfiber - This unique prebiotic (fiber) is essential to our gut-soothing formulation. Tasteless, colorless, water-soluble, and gluten-free, Sunfiber successfully feeds Bifidus. It’s also safe for those who may have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), SIFO (small intestinal fungal overgrowth), IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth), and histamine intolerance. (12) If you have digestive problems, autoimmune issues, mood disorders, and aren’t happy with how you’re aging, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ can help. Of course, you’ll want to remove the cause or causes of your gut dysbiosis — especially inflammatory foods and infections like candida. Then, focus on establishing a healthy microbiome in your small and large intestines.  *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
