| Digestive Aids The digestive system plays a vital
part in achieving successful nutrition. It doesnt matter how careful you are at
guarding your intake of micro-nutrients, to achieve optimum nutrition, or even adequate
nutrition, your digestive system must stay healthy.
A sufficiency of nutrients
and the right kind of food are required for efficient digestion, absorption and
gastro-intestinal health and comfort, with proper elimination. |
| 8381 Eliminex® (Fructo-oligosaccharides) Eliminex® consists of a special kind
of pure soluble fibre called fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) which helps carry moisture
through the digestive system. This helps to keep waste soft and bulky, thereby encouraging
waste matter to move through the system faster and helping to ensure more regular
movements.
FOS also encourages the growth of beneficial or 'friendly' bacteria in the large bowel
(colon). Indeed a recent study has shown that just 8g of FOS daily for 2 weeks leads to a
10-fold increase in beneficial bacteria in the gut. This is termed a prebiotic effect and
it can offer health benefits to people who have unbalanced diets or disrupted bowel
patterns. As the beneficial bacteria are encouraged, the harmful pathogenic bacteria and
yeasts are suppressed, so fewer toxins are produced.
The active ingredients of Eliminex® are derived from chicory root and unlike many other
bowel health products on the market, it is suitable for long-term use.
