Frequently asked questions

Q What are probiotic supplements?
A The word “probiotic” literally means “for life”; but the term usually refers to supplements that contain living, beneficial bacteria. Billions of these friendly bacteria from more than 400 different species occur naturally in a healthy digestive system, with most living in the intestines, where they are sometimes called “intestinal flora”.

These bacteria support general wellbeing in several ways, such as assisting digestion and helping to maintain immunity. However, they can be very sensitive to changes in their environment, and some lifestyle factors (see below) can significantly reduce their numbers. Supplementing with a concentrated probiotic can help customers whose natural levels of intestinal flora are low to replenish their natural levels.

Q What can lower the body’s natural levels of beneficial bacteria?
A Many lifestyle factors can change the environmental conditions inside the digestive system and make it less welcoming for friendly bacteria. Some of these include:
Antibiotic use (antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria)
Certain medications, e.g. steroids or the Oral Contraceptive Pill
Frequent alcohol consumption
Stress or aging
Poor diet or eating disorders
Digestive problems such as diarrhoea and constipation
Pollution, chemical additives and pesticides
Q How can beneficial bacteria help to maintain health and wellbeing?
A Friendly bacteria can help to maintain general health and wellbeing in many ways. They support healthy liver function, which in turn helps the body to rid itself of toxins. They assist with the digestive process, aiding the body in absorbing a full range of nutrients; supporting regular elimination; and actually producing some of the critical B vitamins that the body requires.

Some intestinal flora can also help to maintain healthy immunity: both by using up resources that harmful bacteria, yeasts and fungi would need to flourish, and by producing substances that actively deter these micro-organisms.

Q How long should customers continue to take this product?
A Customers who take Wagner Probiotica may start to experience intestinal benefits within a few days. However, most people need 4-6 weeks of continuous use for longer-term benefits. Customers taking Probiotica due to antibiotic use should start using the product when they begin antibiotic treatment, and continue for a minimum of one month after the treatment course ends

Frequently asked questions
Why is detoxifcation important?
Detoxification is important because of the many common pollutants and toxins our bodies are exposed to everyday. If the liver and digestive tract become overloaded, cells that line the intestinal wall can become damaged and more permeable. This can lead to the reabsorption of toxins and disrupt the delicate balance in the gut, causing constipation, bloating, excessive flatulence, irregular bowel movements and overgrowth of harmful bacteria. You may also feel tired all the time, irritable, nauseous and be prone to allergies and other immune disorders caused by an imbalance in the digestive tract.

What is in Nutra-Life 3 in 1 Complete Detox & Cleanse?

DIETARY FIBRE
Psyllium (Plantago ovata) husks are a rich source of fibre and absorb water to form mucilage that adds bulk and draws toxins into the bowel, making it easier to pass.
Flaxseed’s (Linum usitatissimum) are high in insoluble dietary fibre, which is essential to the health of the digestive tract and have a beneficial effect on hormonal balance.

PRE- & PROBIOTICS
Inulin contains fructo-oligosaccarides (FOS), a nutritive substance that helps restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract and prevent overgrowth of harmful bacteria, which can lead to bowel disturbances and food allergies.

Lactobacillus acidophilus
Acidophilus helps maintain the integrity in the gastrointestinal tract and improve immune function by controlling levels of unfriendly bacteria.

ANTIOXIDANTS
Grape seed (Vitis vinifera)
Grape seeds provide a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s), which are powerful antioxidant compounds needed during detoxification to help protect the body against toxins and free radical damage.

LIVER & BOWEL CLEANSING HERBS
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)
Milk Thistle is rich in antioxidant flavonoid compounds, which helps to lessen the toxic load on the liver and protect from pollutants including xeno-oestrogens and alcohol.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners have used Turmeric to help manage digestion, liver function and inflammation.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion root is a tonic to the liver and gallbladder, helping to protect against constipation.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Ginger is a warming and aromatic herb to support naturally healthy digestion, by helping to stimulate digestive enzymes and prevent bloating.

Cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana)
Cascara supports healthy bowel function by stimulating bowel reflexes to prevent constipation & ensure elimination.

VITAMINS
The B-Complex vitamins including B6, Folic Acid and B12 are needed for energy metabolism and to support Phase 1 and 2 of liver detoxification. In addition, Vitamin C helps protect against free radical damage and assist detoxification.

AMINO ACIDS
L-Glutamine is an important amino acid needed to fuel the cells of the gastrointestinal tract and help repair of damage caused to the intestinal lining by toxins. Many health problems have been linked to intestinal damage including chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, eczema and autoimmune problems. In addition, Taurine is needed by the liver to process toxins and can be depleted during overgrowth of Candida albicans.

In addition, some people are intolerant to certain foods such as wheat, dairy or gluten, and therefore benefit from avoiding these altogether.

Is a detoxification programme useful if I am constipated?
It is essential that you have regular daily bowel movements, and equally important to have regular bowel movements during a detoxification programme to prevent reabsorption of toxins.

Frequently asked questions
Q What is bodyshape?
A bodyshape is a high-protein low-carbohydrate powder providing the basis for a great shape and is designed specially for women. It includes a good source of protein plus added vitamins and minerals including Vitamins B-Complex, Calcium, Zinc and Magnesium, which are needed for high energy and strong bones. It also provides L-Carnitine, a special nutrient needed to help maintain lean muscle mass and manage a healthy body weight. Available in three flavours including Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla, bodyshape is an ideal formula to help tone up and shape up.

Soy protein, which makes up 50% of bodyshape, is a low glycaemic food and important for weight management. Soy contains isoflavones, special compounds that have a favourable effect on oestrogen levels and help manage blood fats, cardiovascular health and maintain strong bones. Part of Eastern cultures for thousands of years, the many health benefits of soy for both men and women are now being appreciated in the West.

Q What is whey protein?
A Whey protein is a pure, natural, high quality protein from cow’s milk. Milk contains two proteins, casein which represents 80% of the protein content, and whey protein which provides the other 20%. Whey protein is more soluble than casein and its amino acid profile is closer to that of human proteins. A rich source of the essential amino acids needed by the body, it has special benefits for sports nutrition, weight management, immune support, bone health and general wellbeing. Research shows whey protein has a higher biologic value and greater digestibility (bioavailability) than whole egg, beef or wheat gluten proteins.

Q How does bodyshape help support a healthy body composition?
A Because bodyshape provides a good source of dietary protein, it can help to support feelings of fullness (satiety) and may also support healthy blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings.
Also beneficial

Beta Alanine for Strength & Size

Filed under: Body Science (BSC) — admin @ 2:21 am

Beta-Alanine is a dietary supplement that promotes muscle growth and feeling of well being. Unlike most new supplements that promise huge muscle gains, beta-alanine has actually been study and scientifically proven to increase muscle mass. The only other supplements that can actually say they are proven by science are Protein and Creatine. Beta-alanine is on its way to becoming one of the most popular muscle building substances in the world.

How does it workThe Beta-Alanine compound is an all natural substance. It is a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid in the human body and found in small amounts in some foods such as chicken breasts. One of the more important functions of Beta-Alanine is to help your body produce carnosine. Carnosine is well known to prevent hte pH levels in your muscle from dropping during extensive workouts. What this means is that you will be able to do more reps, more weight, and harder workouts in general.

Do I get enough naturally? The short answer is no. While the naturally occurring Beta-Alanine production of the body is enough for the average person it is not nearly enough for athletes, body builders, or people exercise regularly. A study was performed by Dr. Roger Harris that showed oral Beta-Alanine is effective in fighting fatigue, post-workout recovery, and increasing muscle mass. Taking Beta-Alanine has been shown to increase the muscle synthesis of Beta-Alanine by 64%. During a workout natural levels will rise, but with out supplementation the body’s Beta-Alanine levels will plateau causing unwanted results.

How to consume itBeta-Alanine is also very easy to take. Beta-Alaine can be purchased in raw form or mixed with other supplements that complement the muscle building properties of Beta-Alanine.

Herb-a-Lax for a healthy digestive system

Filed under: Blooms — admin @ 12:49 am

HerbaLax is a natural laxative formula that combines several herbal ingredients together for a more complete effect. Some suppliers claim this supplement is the perfect complement to a cleansing regimen. Rather than just containing herbal laxatives like cascara sagrada and senna (the main ingredients in other supplements named “Herbalax”), this product combines laxatives with anti-inflammatories, digestive aids, and diuretics. The result is said to be easier elimination without negative side effects like diarrhea or abdominal cramps.

Ingredients
Cascara sagrada has been used for hundreds of years to treat constipation as it contains a sugar that increases the rate of elimination. It is even a part of many pharmaceutical-grade laxative preparations. Even natural laxatives can cause irritation of the digestive tract; marshmallow can be a useful addition to such a formula as it calms inflamed mucus membranes. Dandelion may help the bloating that is commonly associated with constipation by helping the body expel retained water.

Ingredients like anise, licorice, barberry, and bitter orange may have an ancillary effect, not supporting weight loss directly but assisting with health in general. Anise and licorice may have a similar taste but possess rather different medicinal properties—licorice raises the blood pressure while anise soothes stomach and tooth aches as well as cramps. Barberry is a mild laxative that is rich in vitamin C while bitter orange may help speed up metabolism.

Beta alanine for strength & size (A)

Filed under: Body Science (BSC) — admin @ 1:37 am

Beta alanine
Beta alanine is an amino acid that is found naturally in the body. It is essential for the efficient working of muscles, as it reduces the acidity of muscles during and after exercise. It is not involved in the production of protein in the body. Beta alanine is used frequently by athletes to increase strength and endurance, improve energy and to reduce and delay muscle fatigue.

Beta alanine in the body
Beta alinine is naturally produced by the liver, although it is also gained by the body when it digests proteins. It is found within dipeptides, mainly carnosine, which is found in meat, however as it is produced by our liver, eating proteins is not necessarily the best way of getting beta alanine.

Beta alanine works by reducing the acidity levels in the muscles. During exercise, hydrogen ions are produced in the body, which causes a drop in pH; in other words, it creates an acid environment. This causes the muscle fatigue that is experienced during a workout – burning muscles, and a sensation of increasing weakness. Beta alanine absorbs the hydrogen ions, reducing acidity and increasing the muscles’ ability to continue working.

Beta alanine supplements
Supplements are used by athletes because the body does not naturally release beta alanines fast enough to stop the feeling of fatigue and muscle failure beyond a certain point. While it is found within carnosine, this is an inefficient way of taking it, and straight beta alanine supplements are required. The dosage is between 3.2 and 6.4 grams.
