North American Herb & Spice Black Seed Oil  Black Seed Oil is a heart-healthy plant-based oil (high in oleic acid, and a natural source of omega-3s, 6s, and 9s) extracted from Nigella sativa (commonly called Black Cumin) flowers. Like super-charged sunflower oil, it has powerful antioxidant properties and a number of active constituents with an impressive array of documented health benefits, including protecting against respiratory infections and LDL (bad) cholesterol. Product Details People have been using Nigella sativa seeds or oil for a variety of conditions to good effect for about 2,000 years in the Middle East, and there are now hundreds of modern scientific studies identifying their active compounds and detailing their benefits, which include: reducing hayfever allergies, asthma, and inflammation (of numerous kinds), and supporting liver and immune function. These two N.A.H.S. offerings are sourced from that region, as well, and are presented in a choice of a pure oil (which can either be consumed orally or used topically, to help the skin with conditions like blisters, wounds, eczema, or even vitiligo) or in capsules (which are enhanced with several other types of beneficial spice oils for additional digestive support). Apart from its actual essential fatty acids food oil content, black seed oil reportedly has over 100 specific chemical compounds among its more general groupings of alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, and terpenes, with several of these being identified as "active constituents," including thymoquinone (TQ, which is generally believed to be the most significant one), nigellone, thymohydroquinone, dithymoquinone, thymol, carvacrol, nigellimine, nigellicine, nigellidine and alphahederin. Collectively, they have been found to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory and of course anti-oxidant effects, as well as cholesterol-lowering and immunomodulatory properties... and a whole lot more. Some of these actives (especially TQ, but also d-limonene (carvone), carvone, pinene-α, and p-cymene) are present in black seed oil's essential oil (EO) component, which can benefit the digestive system with their anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. And for those seeking more assistance in that area, N.A.H.S. had added an EO spice blend to the capsules, consisting of the concentrated terpenes (aromatic compounds) from: * (regular, non-black) Cumin, which can help relieve irritable bowel syndrome symptoms like bloating, nausea, and painful bowel movements; * Rosemary, which can help relieve gas or heartburn; * Fennel, to help with bloating, indigestion, and constipation; and of course, * Their flagship product, Oregano, shares black seed oil's ability to fight off various types of infections and reduce gastrointestinal inflammation. Notes: The liquid version may be priced slightly lower in-store. Product labels are slightly different than the examples shown. How to Take Adults: Take 2 soft gel capsules once per day, with food (may cause gastrointestinal upset when taken on an empty stomach). If you are also taking supplements containing iron, zinc, calcium or copper, take the Oil of Black Seed capsules either a few hours before or after those. Keep product stored in an airtight container, protected from light. What’s Inside  Full Ingredient List: Each Softgel contains: Black Cumin (Nigella sativa, seed oleoresin) [6-30% oleic acid and 30-60% linoleic acid]: 866.56 mgCumin (Cuminum cyminum, seed): 25.52 mgBitter fennel essential oil (Foeniculum vulgare subsp. vulgare var. vulgare, seed oleoresin): 0.02715 mL / 26.06 mgOregano (Origanum vulgare, leaf) (60% Carvacrol): 2.52 mgRosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, leaf): 2.48 mg Non-medicinal ingredients: Gelatin (capsule, derived from tilapia fish). Note, the flowering plant whose black-coloured seeds black seed oil is made from goes by several different (and sometimes somewhat misleading) popular names in various corners of the world, including Black Cumin, black caraway, fennel flower, habbat al-barakah, habbatus sauda, kalonji, and Roman coriander.

If taking more than 1 tablet daily, some people may experience gastrointestinal disturbance such as diarrhea, as magnesium has a mild laxative effect at high doses.

Sloth MD Full Globe Artichoke Natural relief for digestive upset Increase bile flow: choleretic Overall positive metabolic effect (balancing cholesterol and blood sugar) Protects liver ALLERGEN-FREE: NO GLUTEN, NO DAIRY, NO LACTOSE, NO GMO & NO PESTICIDES VEGETARIAN capsule contains 500mg of  Artichoke Full Globe Artichoke: Health Benefits Full Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus, cadrunulus) offers various health benefits supported by clinical and experimental studies. Artichoke: Rich in Beneficial Compounds Full Globe Artichoke leaves contain a range of beneficial compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids (such as rutin and luteolin), cynarin, sesquiterpenes, tannins, phytosterols, essential oils, provitamin A, enzymes and inulin. Inulin is a type of fibre that is not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract but instead reaches the colon intact, where it serves as a substrate (food) for beneficial gut bacteria. This kind of fibre is called prebiotic fibre, and it can contribute to improved digestive health and overall gut function. Artichoke: Effective for Indigestion Full Globe Artichoke stimulates bile production and flow making it particularly effective for indigestion, especially when related to slow bile production or flow. Bile is essential for the efficient digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients, elimination of waste products, regulation of gut microbiota, stimulation of digestive enzymes, and prevention of gallstone formation. Maintaining healthy bile production and secretion is crucial for overall digestive health and nutrient absorption. Artichoke: Protects the Liver Artichoke extract protects the liver by reducing cholesterol synthesis and LDL oxidation. It boosts antioxidant defences, such as glutathione peroxidase, which help defend liver cells against damage. Some studies suggest that artichokes may help reduce liver congestion and improve blood flow by supporting the clearance of toxins and metabolic waste products from the liver. Artichoke: Balances Cholesterol Studies indicate that Full Globe artichoke can help balance healthy cholesterol levels. The suggested mechanism is by modulation of HMG-CoA reductase activity, rather than a true inhibition as exhibited with statin medications. An additional mechanism is thought to increase the cholesterol fecal excretion due to effects on bile acids production.  High LDL levels, together with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, are a risk factor for various degenerative vascular diseases, and in particular for arteriosclerosis. Artichoke is shown to modify cholesterol levels, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and LDL/HDL ratio, without affecting HDL levels. Artichoke: Blood Sugar Regulation  Studies have demonstrated that artichoke could regulate blood sugar levels and improve fasting blood sugar levels. It is suggested that Artichoke affects glucose absorption and acts as an antioxidant, slowing down the emptying of the stomach and intestines. This helps inhibit the enzymes alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase in the intestines, which reduces the amount of glucose entering the bloodstream. In addition, antioxidants found in artichokes could have insulin-like effects, promoting glucose absorption in peripheral tissues. Artichoke may also influence pancreatic beta-cells, potentially repairing damaged cells and stimulating them to produce and release insulin. Artichoke: Promising for Metabolic Disorders Recent research suggests artichoke leaf extracts may benefit individuals with metabolic disorders like hyperglycemia, inflammation, and abnormal lipid profiles. It aids in lowering post-meal blood sugar levels and improves fasting blood sugar, potentially by influencing glucose absorption and insulin function. It promotes bile secretion, reduces inflammation, and oxidative stress and supports liver and gut health. Additionally, it aids in fat breakdown, therefore the absorption of beneficial fat and elimination of fat-soluble toxins.  DIRECTIONS Adults – Take 1 capsule 3 times a day with meals. INDICATIONS Used to help relieve digestive upset and to help increase bile flow. WARNINGS If hypersensitivity/allergy occurs stop using this product.Do not use if you have a bile duct obstruction. If you are pregnant or have gallstones, consult with the health practitioner before use.

ReliefZyme, Targeted Enzyme Formula Natural Factors ReliefZyme Intensive Strength is a unique enzyme blend that supports the digestive process and the breakdown of foods containing gluten, wheat, and dairy proteins. This comprehensive digestive aid can be taken with meals to help break down food and support nutrient absorption. Improved digestion helps reduce gas, bloating, and other complications associated with food sensitivities.    Uses & Benefits Supports the digestion of gluten, wheat, and dairy proteins (such as casein, whey, and lactoglobulins) Eases digestive complaints associated with food sensitivities Relieves gas and bloating Promotes healthy digestion Feature Summary Natural Factors ReliefZyme Intensive Strength is a unique enzyme blend specifically developed to support the digestion of foods that contain gluten and dairy proteins. Sensitivities and intolerances to cereal grain proteins (such as gluten, which consists of glutenin and gliadin) and dairy proteins (such as casein, whey, and lactoglobulins) can be a result of reduced digestive enzyme function and can cause digestive disturbances, poor nutrient absorption, fatigue, and other discomforts. By helping the body break down these difficult-to-digest proteins, this intensive-strength formula can help alleviate symptoms, such as gas and bloating, resulting from gluten and dairy ingestion. Each dose of ReliefZyme delivers a balanced and harmonious combination of naturally occurring enzymes – including 163 DPP-IV activity per capsule – to support the digestive process and promote healthy gastrointestinal function. Cereal grains and dairy products are known for their difficult-to-digest proteins, such as gluten and casein. But these culprits often sneak into other processed foods, such as coffee whitener, deli meats, bars, sauces, and salad dressings. ReliefZyme is an excellent and effective adjunct to a prescribed gluten-free or dairy-free diet. While it is not a replacement for these diets, it is ideal for anyone who experiences digestive disturbances from occasional wheat, gluten, and/or dairy exposure and who has difficulty eliminating these foods from their diet, for example, when travelling or dining out.

Restores intestinal balance Natural Factors Mega Probiotic Powder contains four strains of probiotics to assist with the maintenance of normal intestinal health. The powder is guaranteed to contain 12 billion active cells per serving along with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to specifically assist in re-establishing and maintaining normal intestinal microflora. Uses & Benefits Restores a healthy balance of intestinal flora Improves nutrient absorption Enhances immune function Improves breath Feature Summary Supplemental bacteria are called probiotics, meaning “for life” or “in support of life”, because they are the natural guardians of robust intestinal health and vitality. Friendly or probiotic bacteria toil 24 hours a day, holding at bay and dominating the many pathogenic bacteria, viruses, yeast, and other microorganisms that unavoidably inhabit the intestinal tract. Given opportunity, the pathogens succeed in colonizing by adhering to the intestinal tract, inflicting disruptions to our intestinal health and throughout the whole body. Beneficial bacteria also have a profound effect on the immune system, boosting immunity to combat allergies, flu, and the common cold. The human intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria in a natural but delicate state of balance between the beneficial bacteria and their good effects, and the pathogenic microorganisms and their potentially adverse effects. Under conditions of high stress or prolonged stress, antibiotic therapy, vacation or business travel, and encounters with food or water-borne pathogens, this natural protective balance can be disrupted, resulting in a decline in the number of beneficial or probiotic bacteria. Natural Factors Mega Probiotic Powder contains four strains of probiotics to assist with the maintenance of normal intestinal health. The powder is guaranteed to contain 12 billion active cells per serving along with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to specifically assist in re-establishing and maintaining normal intestinal microflora.

These stimulate the vagus nerve, which encourages the production of saliva, gastric juices, enzymes, and bile – crucial elements of healthy digestion. Bitters also help the nervous system to shift into “rest and digest” mode (rather than “fight or flight”), which allows for optimal digestion. Supporting digestion with bitters has numerous benefits: helps eliminate digestive upset such as gas, bloating, and heartburn greater absorption of critical nutrients support for the immune system reduction in sugar cravings + retrains the digestive system to function more efficiently on-going, instead of merely providing a temporary solution.

Regulates bowel function & manages symptoms of IBS Supports digestion and gastrointestinal health Promotes healthy blood sugars and cardiovascular health One of the most well-tolerated fibers available; low FODMAP compliant Clinically studied and patented fibre Details Fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. However, the average daily intake of fiber is only about half of the recommended intake of 30-35 g per day. Soluble fiber is not digestible by enzymes in the gastrointestinal system, but is instead fermented by healthy bacteria in the gut. Soluble fiber enhances gastrointestinal health, function and regularity, and increases satiety. It also supports healthy blood sugar balance and cardiovascular health. A low intake of dietary fiber has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Supplemental forms of fiber have been found to be more effective than fiber from the diet. AOR’s SoluFiber contains partially hydrolyzed guar gum, a highly soluble, prebiotic form of fiber derived from the endosperm of the cluster bean. Guar gum is fermented more slowly in the intestinal tract than some other prebiotic fibers, making it easily tolerated. Hydrolyzation is a controlled natural process that breaks guar gum down into smaller units, greatly decreasing its viscosity and allowing the particles to dissolve more readily, while maintaining the original fiber content. It is a patented highly soluble form of fiber that has been used in clinical trials, studied in children, and found to be one of the most palatable and well-tolerated soluble fibers that does not alter the taste and texture of food or drink. AOR Advantage AOR’s SoluFibre contains partially hydrolyzed guar gum, a highly soluble, easy to take, digestion resistant form of fibre that imparts no flavor or texture change to the foods it’s added to. It has been studied in clinical trials, it has been found to have the greatest range of beneficial results and health applications, and it has been found to be the most tolerable form of fibre for children due to its lack of flavour and texture-changing characteristics. NPN 80071556 Discussion SoluFibre contains Sunfiber®, a soluble fibre derived from guar bean gum. Sunfiber® improves intestinal/bowel regularity and provides gentle relief of constipation in the general population as well as in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Helps relieve minor gastrointestinal symptoms associated with IBS. Guarantee AOR™ guarantees that all ingredients have been declared on the label. Contains no wheat, gluten, corn, nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, sulphites, mustard, soy, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish or any animal by product. Adult Dosage Take one to two scoops daily, children over nine take one scoop daily. Take two hours before or after taking other medications, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner. For each scoop, mix with 200 ml of liquid (water, milk, fruit juice or similar aqueous beverage). Stir briskly and drink immediately. Maintain adequate fluid intake. Cautions Consult a health care practitioner prior to use, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are taking medications which inhibit peristaltic movement (e.g. opioids, loperamide), or if you are experiencing any of the following; sudden change in bowel habits that have persisted for more than two weeks, undiagnosed rectal bleeding, failure to defecate following the use of laxative products, diabetes mellitus in which blood sugar is difficult to regulate, or symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever.
