Debloat & Detox has an optimal blend of highly absorbable, scientifically studied botanicals and amino acids in optimal dosages to fuel your digestive health. These include:
Fennel Seeds exert beneficial effects on the digestive system. They contain natural antioxidant properties and exert spasmolytic and carminative effects, which can reduce flatulence and belly spasms.1-3,11
Like Dandelion Root, Fennel Seeds play an important role in supporting gut health and the gut barrier function. A stronger gut lining can supports digestion, the absorption of nutrients and strengthens our immune defences.
Research has shown Fennel Seeds have promising benefits for those who suffer from chronic and inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders like Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD).
Artichoke Leaf Extract supports the flow of digestive juices and contributes to intestinal comfort. In addition, scientific research suggests artichokes can help reduce feelings of dyspepsia. This, in turn, can reduce feelings of fullness, indigestion and digestive discomfort.
Artichokes naturally contain fibre, nutrients and a whole host of antioxidants. Not only do artichokes contain Inulin, a source of prebiotics that is good for a healthy gut, but they also contain Cynarin. The highest concentrations of Cynarin are found within the Artichoke’s Leaves’, used in Debloat & Detox.7-9
Traditionally used over the years, Milk Thistle has been shown to support both liver health and assist in healthy digestive processes.
Milk Thistle seed contains Silymarin, an active plant compound shown to support digestion by:
- Stimulating the production of digestive juices, including stomach acid and bile, and hence contributing towards the effective breakdown of foods.
- Keeping bloating at bay and supporting gastrointestinal movement. This helps the body to move food along at a good pace.
- Supporting gut flora, as Milk Thistle is extensively broken down and utilised in the intestines by gut bacteria.
A healthy balance of bacteria in the gut has been shown to aid multiple functions in the body, including efficient digestive processes and overall wellbeing.
Dandelion Root possesses prebiotic properties that contribute to gastrointestinal wellbeing. Prebiotics help feed the good bacteria in the gut, which creates an environment inhospitable for unhealthy bacteria to thrive. This can help provide a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut, improve digestive function and support overall wellbeing.
L-glutamine is an important amino acid that is used by the cells of the digestive system (gastrointestinal tract) to support a healthy gut lining. L-glutamine is a precursor to the antioxidant ‘glutathione’, which plays an important role in protecting the body from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can contribute to digestive issues and put a burden on the body’s organs and functions.20-21
Strengthening the gut lining and increasing antioxidant levels through dietary changes with a focus on particular nutrients can, in turn, help contribute to more balanced digestion and detoxification processes.21-23
