DIATOMACEOUS EARTH is a type of fine powder made from the sediment of fossilized algae found in water. The algae is high in a compound called silica which makes the diatomaceous earth also high in silica. Historically, this has been used for treating high cholesterol, improving skin, nails, teeth, bones, hair, and gut health. Silica is regarded as natures scalpel and works as an intestinal broom to clean the bowel wall of any built-up mucus, fungi, heavy metals, debris, and stubborn foreign matter by drawing water into the bowel and promoting evacuation. The benefit of healthy, daily bowel movements also contributes to a well-functioning immune system as 70% of our immunity is located in our gut. When in balance, the superhighway from our gut to our brain promotes better mental health and a happier sense of wellbeing.

GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDES – GOS have a unique chemical structure, similar to carbohydrates found naturally in human breast milk. Their point of difference allows them to pass undigested into the large intestine, bypassing digestion in the stomach and intestines. In the large bowel they act as prebiotics where they stimulate the proliferation of beneficial bacteria. Our modern lifestyles, poor diet choices, lack of fibre and stress all inhibit good bacteria growth. This is where GOS come in, increasing the natural gut flora of specific bacteria which improve overall gut health, promote immunity, reduce the severity of colds, flu, and opportunistic infectious diseases, as well as improve the absorption of calcium and magnesium which increase bone density.

LACTOSPORE – Bacillus Coagulans is a stable probiotic bacterium that survives stomach acid and retains its potency in the intestines, where it can support GI upset, such as occasional gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea.
Our intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that, when a person is healthy, coexist with us in a beneficial and harmonious relationship. The beneficial bacteria help digest food, support the immune system, regulate the metabolism, helps fight allergies and infections, support brain health, and facilitate the growth of other beneficial microorganisms.
Bacillus coagulans is a unique probiotic supplement because it is a lactic acid producing bacteria. It bypasses being killed by the stomach and is activated once ingested and reverts to growing good bacteria in the intestines. There it reduces digestive discomforts like bloating and gas, while supporting mental wellbeing and positive mood.
•Promotes beneficial bacterial growth
• Supports the immune system
• Promotes stability and diversity of gut microbiome
WELLMUNE – Wellmune is an immune booster. Made from yeast beta glucan, it is clinically shown to help strengthen the immune system by training it to be ready to react when needed. When taken daily, immune cells are better prepared to go into action.
Beta Glucan is a type of soluble dietary fibre found in plant based foods, known for many health benefits including digestive and heart health. The soluble fibre absorbs water and assists in slowing the digestion time, promoting more stable blood sugar levels, reducing bad LDL cholesterol levels, feeding beneficial bacteria in your digestive system, reducing inflammation, and providing a great source of antioxidants.
• Strengthens the immune system
• Improves psychological wellbeing
• Supports digestive health
Fennel Seed is one of the oldest medicinal herbs in the world. It has been traditionally used by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians as a fragrant herb to season dishes as well as an effective digestive tonic.

ZINC GLUCONATE – Zinc Gluconate is the zinc salt of gluconic acid, a popular form for the delivery of zinc as a dietary supplement. Zinc is an important mineral to the body supporting healthy growth, helping heal wounds, keeping the immune system strong, thyroid function, blood clotting and of course your sense of taste and smell.
Zinc is a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of healthy cells and building protein, and because this trace mineral isn’t stored in the body, we need to make sure we are consuming zinc in our diet or from a supplement.
• DNA repair and growth
• Supports the immune system
• Hair, skin and collagen support
