Having problems digesting? Do some foods pass right through you? Do you have loose stools or conversely are constipated? Feel bloated or have gut cramps? Feel weak, listless, or out of energy?

Need Energy? Last, Don’t Crash- The World of Adaptogens 0
Adaptogens are substances derived from plants that can “non-specifically enhance the human body”. These substances come from a range of plants, with the most important being Panax Ginseng and others in the Ginseng family including Eleuthero, Schisandra, Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, and Rhodiola. These plants have been utilized by numerous cultures to combat the effects of stress, anxiety, and fatigue- particularly when those effects seem to be generalized and not from one specific event. Likewise, a hallmark of these adaptogens is that they work as general mood enhancers, stress relievers, and energy boosters, sometimes through many different pathways.

Since Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin, don’t we get enough of the vitamin from the sun? What about from food? Unfortunately, probably not. With concern for skin cancer rising, and our busy lives meaning we may not spend as much time outdoors, many of us don’t get enough sun exposure to create enough vitamin D, and many people have problems absorbing enough through food as well.
Grapefruit Seed Extract- a Promising Product 0
Grapefruit seed extract has been used safely for years as a natural preservative in the food and cosmetics industry because of its ant-microbial and antifungal properties. Those industries have often chosen this product as the most potent of the citrus products, indeed of any natural product, for this purpose. Its properties as a biocide were discovered by American immunologist Jacob Harich in 1980, first for its use as an antifungal against Candida albicans. Since then, its properties as an ant-fungal and antimicrobial has been touted, as a topical treatment for funguses, a nasal and mouth wash for sinus and mouth infections, and internally for Candida and other infections of the gut.Knowledge Base
