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. Is your body starving?Most people today are literally starving from mineral deficiencies, but you don’t have to be one of them. Nourish yourself with Ancient Earth Minerals and help your body reap the rewards of good health and well-being! The Food and Drug Administration have not evaluated these statements.

You can enjoy the benefits of milk kefir without the side effects of the casein. Strong digestive fire is key to optimal wellness. Yet certain proteins are often difficult to digest. ASSIST Dairy and Protein was designed to aid in the digestion of proteins from: Animal Foods: This proprietary blend of Protease Enzymes plus significant amounts of HCl and Pepsin enhance digestion of meats, fish, poultry and eggs. Dairy Foods: Fermenting milk into kefir and yogurt enhances digestion since the milk sugar, lactase, is broken down and consumed by the beneficial microflora. Dairy proteins and fats are also pre-digested, yet many people still need additional support. Nuts, Seeds and Legumes: These ideally should be soaked before eating to release their enzyme inhibitors. Assist Dairy and Protein supports the digestion and absorption of the proteins contained in these nutritious foods and for all other vegetable-source protein containing foods.

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.

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.

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!

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.
