Rhizinate 3x 90 chewable tablets

Licorice – DGL
(Deglycyrrhinated Licorice)

Natural, Soothing Stomach Protection

Rhizinate 3X deglycyrrhizinated licorice

Licorice increases the stomach’s production of protective mucous. In sensitive individuals, however, licorice may elevate blood pressure. Deglycyrrhinated licorice (DGL) retains the stomach-protective benefits without affecting blood pressure. DGL Licorice helps prevent heartburn without diminishing stomach acid production.

Suggested dose: 1-2 tabs, 2-3 times per day before meals or as needed.

Product # 828 Rhizinate 3x German Chocolate 90 chewable tabs $16.50

Rhizinate 3X deglycyrrhizinated licorice is a unique 10:1 extract of deglycyrrhizinated licorice with a delicious, German Chocolate flavor. DGL is widely used in Europe and first introduced to the United States in 1986.

Rhizinate 3X supports overall health of the gastrointestinal system along with the lining of the stomach and intestinal tract.†

Rhizinate 3X provides the best-tasting DGL on the market. In a blind taste test, participants chose Rhizinate 3X by at least 87 percent over other leading competitors. In fact, every participant chose Rhizinate 3X over one comparably-concentrated brand.1

Rhizinate 3X provides the following benefits:

  • Glycyrrhizic acid-free formula provides only the beneficial effects of licorice†
  • Chewable formula works naturally with enzymes in saliva to support digestive health†
  • Best tasting DGL; great German-chocolate flavor
  • Helps relieve stomach discomfort by stimulating and accelerating natural protective factors in the digestive tract†
  • Boosts the production of mucin, a natural compound that coats and protects the lining of the stomach and intestines†
  • Potent 10:1 extract; provides immediate benefits and maximum absorption in chewable form†
  • Includes glycine to help keep the stomach lining strong†

How Does It Work?

Licorice is one of the oldest traditionally used plants in the world. While the plant’s origins are in the Mediterranean, the Middle East and central Asia, for centuries it has been cultivated virtually everywhere from Spain to China.2,3

Licorice root contains glycyrrhizic acid, which has many beneficial properties but can lead to high blood pressure if consumed in large quantities over an extended period of time.†4,5 Glycyrrhizic acid has been used to support immunity and liver function for many years.6 However, because the beneficial effects of licorice on the stomach lining are not solely dependent upon the glycyrrhizic acid, it has been removed.† Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) provides the beneficial effects of supporting gastrointestinal health without the unpleasant side effects.†

Rhizinate 3X helps support healthy mucosal lining by stimulating the stomach’s natural protective factors.†7,8 The stomach and upper sections of the small intestines are lined with thin layers of tissue called the mucosa. This lining must function in the stomach’s extreme acid environment of pH levels ranging around 2.0 to 3.0. DGL does not protect the stomach lining by suppressing gastric acid. Rather, it stimulates increased mucous production and blood supply to the mucosa.†9,10

With 30 years of use and scientific and clinical studies showing gastrointestinal support, DGL has been safely recommended for short-term and long-term use.†11,13

In an internal clinical study, participants found Rhizinate 3X to be just as or more effective than the DGL product they currently use.† They also commented on the delicious flavor of Rhizinate 3X.12

Additional Benefits of Licorice:

  • Licorice is a rich source of flavonoids and isoflavonoids that have significant antioxidant activities.†13
  • Licorice supports beneficial levels of microbes and bacteria.† In one study, licorice inhibited nitric oxide production in macrophages (white blood cells) and increased the longevity in an animal model.†14
  • In a clinical trial, deglycyrrhizinated licorice supported healthy mouth tissue in 75% of participants.† Benefits were seen in only one day.15
    Note:DGL mixes with salivary compounds that may enhance its effects (bioavailability/absorption). Therefore, chewable preparations are preferred.16

Glycine

Glycine is a stable amino acid that has the ability to support healthy mucosal lining of the stomach.†17 It is also a glutathione precursor. Glutathione is one of the body’s natural antioxidants.17

DGL is a natural, clinically-studied ingredient that has been used to support healthy digestive function for over 30 years.† Rhizinate 3X provides a great-tasting, chewable tablet that works with digestive enzymes in saliva to provide benefits to the stomach and intestinal mucosa.†

L-Glutamine (10.6 Oz Powder)

Natural Growth Hormone Stimulant and More

L-glutamine is an amino acid that is a major component of muscle tissue. It is also a major source of energy for cells of the GI tract. L-glutamine stimulates the production of Growth Hormone (GH) and decreases sugar and alcohol cravings.

Athletes use L-glutamine to help build muscle (anabolic), but it can also be used by non-athletes, even the frail elderly, to help prevent muscle tissue breakdown. It is useful for rejuvenating the lining of the GI tract and can therefore assist in healing after GI surgery and in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). L-glutamine stimulates the immune system and should be used when recovering from any surgery or illness. In weight loss, it is useful for reducing alcohol and sugar cravings. Because it crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts as a ready supply of energy for the brain, it is also used in Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD).

L-Glutamine Powder
Each (1) teaspoon contains:  L-glutamine (100% free form): 4,500 mg

Suggested dose: 1 tsp., 2-3 times per day. Best taken in a cold beverage.

Try it in a Super Shake! Yum!

Health Freedom Restrictions Predicted by Country’s Founding Fathers

 2004 © Dr. Dana Myatt
 
 Dr. Benjamin Rush and Thomas Jefferson, signers of the Declaration of Independence (in case you forgot), knew 200+ years ago that our health freedoms were in danger of restriction. They said:
 
 “The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for Medical Freedom as well as Religious Freedom… To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute a Bastille [prison] of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic.” — Benjamin Rush, M.D., signer of the Declaration of Independence
 
 “I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves: and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform them.” — Thomas Jefferson, signer of the Declaration of Independence
 
 Today, the FDA wants to restrict your health freedom and doesn’t believe you are smart enough to make your own decisions. Many “FDA approved” drugs have been found to be dangerous and even lethal, their approval later withdrawn (or not—most recent example: Vioxx), while many vitamins and herbs have been “outlawed” even though they continue to be found safe after hundreds of years of use.
 
 Instead of taking safe and effective supplements off the market because they are making “health claims” that do not meet FDA approved standards, wouldn’t it be more “American” (in the old, Declaration of Independence sense of the word), to require labels which state: these health claims are supported by scientific evidence but have not been approved by the FDA.” Then you and I would know that the claims made were not blessed with Holy Water by the FDA (which only means a company has $$$, not good science). As free adult Americans, shouldn’t we be allowed this choice?
 
 In Health,
 Dr. Dana Myatt (who still believes in American Democracy and the U.S. Constitution)

 

Lycopene 15mg (30 Softgel Capsules)

LYCOPENE

Prostate Protection from Tomatoes

Lycopene, a concentrated carotene found in tomatoes, is the most effective free radical neutralizer in the carotenoid family. Studies have shown that men who eat tomato products (especially tomato paste, which is high in lycopene), have a lower incidence of prostate cancer.(2,3) In fact, the heat-processing of tomatoes actually makes the lycopene easier to use in the body.(1)

Today, high potency lycopene is used in the holistic treatment of prostate cancer as well as prevention.

Suggested dose: 1 capsule per day.

Each (one) capsule contains: Lyocopene (from tomatoes) 15 mg

Product # 166 – Lyocopene 15 mg (30 Capsules)$15.95

Tocotrienols


The “Other” Vitamin E

Tocotrienols“Vitamin E” is actually a mixture of tocotrienols and tocopherols, two forms of the same vitamin. Like tocopherols (the “classic” vitamin E), tocotrienols are also potent antioxidants that protect against lipid peroxidation (the damaging of fats by free radicals).

Research has shown that although tocotrienols and tocopherols possess similar activity, they work slightly differently in the body. The very newest research shows that tocotrienols may be even more valuable to good health than the classic form of vitamin E, tocopherols.

Actions of tocotrienols:

  • cholesterol-lowering properties not seen with regular vitamin E (tocopherols).
  • Tocotrienols reduce AGEs (advanced glycosylated end-products),
  • encourage healthy blood pressure levels and arterial health
  • support normal blood sugar balance
  • prevent fat oxidation

Both gamma- and delta-tocotrienols are powerful antioxidants working at the cells’ surface. Evidence indicates that tocotrienols are absorbed better than tocopherols.

The typical recommendation is 140 to 360 mg per day. Most studies have used 200 mg daily.

Contains: Tocotrienols 100 mg ( 90% Delta- Tocotrienols and 10% Gamma- Tocotrienols)

Other ingredients: Rice bran oil, gelatin, glycerin, water.

Suggested Dose: 1 or 2 softgels, one or two times daily or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Soy (Glycine max)


Hormone, Bone Health and Cholesterol Balance

Soy isoflavoneSoy and its major components daidzein and genistein, has estrogenic effects and can acts as an  estrogen-modulator in both men and women. Soy also has cholesterol-lowering, antioxidant and anti-cancer effects.

Soy has been shown to:

  • lower the risk of cardiovascular disease
    (a health claim allowed by the FDA) 24-27
  • exert anti-cancer effects (may help prevent and even treat cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer) 10-23
  • lower cholesterol levels 1-9
  • increase bone density and decrease bone mineral loss 28-33
  • improve insulin sensitivity 34-35
  • improve menopausal symptoms 36-40
  • possess antioxidant properties 41-45

Soy may therefore be useful in:

  • Cancer prevention and treatment
  • Heart disease
  • High cholesterol
  • Menopause symptoms
  • Osteoporosis prevention and treatment

Allergy to soy can cause bowel gas and discomfort; raw soy products may inhibit thyroid function. In sensitive individuals, the benefits of soy may be obtained and the GI effects avoided by using the purified soy capsules.

Soy Extract (Isoflavone-250) Soy Isoflavones Benefit Both Women & Men

Beneficial substances in soy, (isoflavones, diadzen, and genisteins) have been shown to lower cholesterol levels, normalize male and female hormone balance, and prevent cancer. Soy is also used in the treatment of cancer, especially prostate and some types of breast cancers. (Physician guidance highly recommended here as soy can increase hormone levels when this is not desired).

Suggested dose: 1cap, once or twice per day with a meal. Higher doses may be used if needed to relieve menopausal hot flashes or as recommended by a physician for treatment of cancer or cholesterol levels.
