Digestion and Detox
DIGESTIVE AIDS are increasingly important. A perfectly functioning digestive system can cope with almost any amount or type of food. It is a remarkable and finely-tuned chemical system which will work faultlessly, given optimum conditions. However, many factors can interfere with the process and result in less than perfect digestion.
Enzyme production reduces with age, as does the production of acid in the stomach. Stress can increase acidity; antibiotics and food contaminants will destroy vital useful bacteria; eating ‘on-the-hoof’ reduces the availability of enzymes and bile; irregular and ill-advised eating habits can play havoc with your abused stomach and gut. To say nothing of constipation, diarrhoea and IBS.
In this section you will find a wide variety of supplements designed to optimise the function of your digestive system. Enzymes to improve food breakdown in the stomach and intestine; herbs which can help to ensure good liver function and give symptomatic relief for a variety of problems; amino acids to encourage healing and soothing; friendly probiotic bacteria and the food to help them grow and multiply.
DETOX has become a popular concept recently, as we become more aware of the chemical stress on our biochemical systems. However, there are some rather questionable and severe methods of detoxification around, so be sure to use products like these, which have been tried and tested!
So, as you can see, there is plenty of help to be had – but first, just try to eat in a low stress atmosphere and chew your food really well. It can work wonders!

Friendly Bacteria
FRIENDLY BACTERIA or PROBIOTICS have revolutionised the subject of digestive function. The many trillions of bacteria in your gut have much work to do - they stimulate and fine-tune the immune system; control the population of bad bacteria, fungi and yeasts; heal and feed the gut lining, and produce a number of vitamins. To list the whole range of benefits would take an entire library of books!
The types of bacteria vary according to our age - there are different requirements in the first few months of life, and once weaning is complete, another set of bacteria dominate. This delicate balance can be easily upset by infections, stress, antibiotics, medicinal and recreational drugs, alcohol, chlorinated water and a host of other influences. Bacterial imbalance, or dysbiosis, may be a contributory factor in many digestive problems including candida, IBS, inflammatory bowel disorders, indigestion, constipation and stomach reflux. Many other areas can also be affected - skin conditions, arthritis, liver troubles, immune dysfunction and hormonal imbalances, to name but a few.
Look after your friends ... you really need them!

Digestive Function
DIGESTIVE FUNCTION can be disturbed by many occurrences - even a holiday away from home can trigger acute constipation. Stress can cause or aggravate a whole range of problems from indigestion and diarrhoea, to nausea and cramping. Almost everybody over-indulges at some time, and suffers for it later.
The products in this section have been traditionally used for just this type of temporary dysfunction. Many of them are also popular with therapists, who use them as part of a more comprehensive and personalised programme.
Note: Recurrent or severe symptoms should be reported to your health practitioner.

Detox
DETOXIFICATION is high on the list of health concerns today.
The polluted world in we live has caused many individuals to look for safe and effective ways of reducing the toxic load on all our bodies. Ideally, detox mixtures should address all the purification pathways used by the body: gut, liver, kidneys, blood, skin and lungs. Whilst herbs may be helpful when used alone, they will always be more effective when combined with other appropriate supplements and suitable diet and lifestyle adjustments.
The supplements below will allow to to choose a variety of effective herbs etc. However, you might like to try our wonderful new detox products from NATURES SUNSHINE - they are perfectly balanced packs of herbs and other important additions to your detox.
