Fibre Boost with Psyllium & Apple
Dietary fibre is the part of the
plant that is resistant to the body’s digestive
enzymes, and so only a small amount is digested or
metabolised. Most of it moves through the
gastrointestinal system and is excreted in the
stool. Fibre retains water and can result in a
bulkier and softer stool. The ingredients in this
formula can provide fibre to the body.
-
Psyllium is a mucilaginous herb
and as such has a great ability to absorb water.
Hence it is used as a bulking agent that can
assist bowel movements. It is important to drink
plenty of water when taking Psyllium as
inadequate water intake can contribute to
constipation.
-
Apple contains a component called
pectin that absorbs water in the
gastrointestinal tract and so can help to
maintain normal bowel function.
-
Acacia is another form of fibre.
-
Guar Gum, when ingested, expands
in the presence of water, acting as a bulking
agent. It tends to normalise bowel function.
-
Oats is a herb that is high in
fibre.
-
Formulated in the SynerSup
vegetable base, consisting of tomato, carrot,
rosemary, turmeric, red beet, Chinese cabbage
and cabbage.
|
|
Therapeutic Use
Intended as a fibre supplement for those
wishing to increase the amount of fibre in their diet in
order to maintain a healthy digestive system.

Flash-Ease Time Release
Menopause, between the ages of 40-55
is the time for the body to rest from the burden of
preparing for the creation of new life, and should
actually be a time to enjoy once the transition has
been made. However, this natural transition can
become a major dilemma for women under stress and
lacking proper nutrition and exercise. Hot flushes
(or flashes) are a flush of intense heat that
suddenly sweeps through the upper half of the body
and may cause perspiration and the face to redden.
This formula was developed to help women deal with
those irritating hot flushes. Women have
traditionally used Black Cohosh to ‘keep cool’
during menopause. This herb is the main ingredient
in Nature’s Sunshine’s Flash Ease Time Release. It
is combined with Dong Quai, a Chinese herb that
provides support to the glandular system.
