Food Enzymes

Food Enzymes [Digestive] is a key product for the digestive system. All foods require processing (digestion), and enzymes are able to break down food compounds for assimilation into the bloodstream. A number of different enzymes are needed to deal with differing food compounds. Some of these are produced by the body, some are found in foods. However, most processed foods lack the enzymes needed for proper digestion. This formulation supplements the body's production of these enzymes. For example, pepsin is used for the digestion of proteins in an acid environment (betaine hydrochloride or HCl); pancreatin is produced by the pancreas to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats in alkaline environments; mycozyme digests starches; papain and bromelain digest protein; bile salt makes fats soluble and prepares them for further digestion by lipase. One capsule will help you digest a minimum of 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of fats.
Benefits:
• Supplements the body’s production of important enzymes.
• Provides a blend of enzymes to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
• Helps prevent or relieve occasional indigestion.

It naturally and safely interferes with the digestion of starchy carbohydrates and may help reduce the calories that may be available to your body. Carbo Grabbers may help prevent weight gain from starch intake. Because the enzymatic breakdown of some dietary starch may be inhibited, these undigested starches can be carried through the intestinal tract where the body can eliminate them.Helps reduce conversion of some starches to calories.

Indole-3-Carbinol

The compounds in these vegetables that may protect cells from oxidative damage are called indoles, among them Indole-3-Carbinol and its metabolites. These compounds may work by binding to or activating certain receptors in the body to protect cells. Indole-3-Carbinol also acts as an antioxdant. This compound may be helpful in the metabolism of estrogens, protecting breast tissue and reproductive organs from cell damage.

Tei Fu Essential Oil

Tei Fu® Essential Oils [Nervous] was developed and perfected by a Chinese herbalist several decades ago. He created it using an ancient formula that was passed down in his family for more than 1,000 years. His secret formula was not for sale—a trait typical of older-generation Chinese. This descendant realized the benefits of his family secret and decided it was too good to keep from others. Thus Nature’s Sunshine became the beneficiary of thousands of years of Chinese wisdom and herbal knowledge. Tei Fu Oils contain safflower oil, wintergreen oil, menthol, camphor, clove, eucalyptus and lavender essential oils.Tei Fu oils can be used for a wide variety of applications, especially where the refreshing, invigorating properties of essential oils are desired.
