Intestinal Health Made Easy

Natural Relief for Diarrhea, Gas & Bloating, and More

Does this sound familiar? You're zipping through the mall, rushing off to your next meeting, or maybe just trying to enjoy a relaxing dinner with your family, and suddenly you get that familiar rumbling in your tummy. Whether it's an occasional bout of diarrhea or the discomfort of gas and bloating, digestive troubles have a way of sneaking up when we least expect them—and usually when it's least convenient. But the good news is that relieving your digestive woes can be as simple as a trip to your local health food store.

The Importance of Good Digestion

You may not realize it, but good digestive function has a lot to do with your overall well being. When your body is able to properly break down the foods you eat, waste is eliminated efficiently through regular, healthy bowel movements, and the natural bacterial environment in your intestines remains in balance. Not only that, but a healthy intestinal lining allows properly digested foods to pass into the bloodstream and serves as a protective barrier to prevent the absorption of harmful bacteria and undigested foods.

Better Health from the Inside Out

For ongoing intestinal support, experts recommend a natural supplement made with nutritive amino acids and soothing herbal ingredients. Amino acids such as L-glutamine and N-acetyl D-glucosamine help to nourish and support the protective intestinal lining, and herbs such as chamomile, slippery elm, marshmallow and fenugreek help to lubricate the bowel and ease elimination. Herbs such as fennel, ginger and peppermint may also be added for the relief of occasional gas and bloating.

To help relieve occasional diarrhea, a traditionally used blend of rice powder and carob may help alleviate loose stools and ease intestinal discomfort, along with herbal ingredients such as cinnamon and ginger for added digestive support. Because diarrhea often results in a loss of valuable fluid and electrolytes from the body, additional electrolytes (such as magnesium) may also be included to help replenish the body's natural supply.
