BoulardiiMAX Probiotic by Renew Life

Categories: Bloating, Diarrhea, Probiotics

Some Probiotics are for Candida, others are for the immune system but what makes BoulardiiMax unique? BoulardiiMAX is the strongest Saccharomyces Boulardii probiotic on the market, making it the most effective in treating the
C. Difficile outbreaks in hospitals by stopping the overgrowth of bacteria. BoulardiiMAX is fantastic for eradicating
the H. Pylori bacteria which can cause heart burn, nausea, bloating, belching, and serious peptic ulcers.

Renew Life BoulardiiMAX 10 Billion Main Benefits:

Excellent for Traveller’s Diarrhea,
H. Pylori and
C. Difficile!

What Strain of Bacteria is Used in BoulardiiMAX?

BoulardiiMAX is a probiotic supplement of Saccharomyces boulardii, a non-colonizing yeast species. It is a non-pathogenic yeast strain that is not related to the yeast group to which Candida belongs. Saccharomyces boulardii has been isolated from the skins of tropical fruits found in Indochina. The indigenous population of Indochina has long used these fruit skins to prevent and treat diarrhea.

More Specifics on BoulardiiMAX:

Once a BoulardiiMAX capsule is ingested, the Saccharomyces boulardii becomes quickly established in the intestinal tract. There are a number of different mechanisms by which S. boulardii works within the intestinal tract:

It inhibits pathogenic bacteria adhesion to the intestinal wall, thereby stopping an overgrowth of bad bacteria.
It produces an enzyme that breaks down pathogenic/bad bacteria such as C. difficile toxin A, and stimulates an antibody production against this diarrhea causing toxin.
It inhibits the main inflammation regulators by changing the signaling pathways involved in inflammatory intestinal diseases.
It acts on T cells which may interfere with the development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
It improves the fecal biostructure in patients with diarrhea.

YEAST Overgrowth Solved with Renew Life CandiGone Cleanse

Categories: Blood Sugar, Cleansing, Digestive Health, Eczema, Energy, Mens Health, Probiotics, Womans Health

Today is a quick tip on how to get people to stop suffering with Candida. We have many customers come in with Candida problems and they just don’t know where to start! Diet changes are essential and takingthe CandiGone Cleanse is a beautiful beginning to creating change in your body. Often times people get an overgrowth of yeast when the diet is not balanced. When people eat too many simple carbohydrates: sugars, white breads and pastas we feed the yeast and let it proliferate! Women often know they have Candida issues more easily then men because they will get chronic vaginal yeast infections. Some women think yeast infections are just another annoying part of being a woman…this is false, there is a lot a woman can do.

YEAST Overgrowth? What is that? Yeast or also known an Candida can take over your gut. When this happens both women and men can really suffer. Some signs of Candida problems would be to ask yourself if you experience:

Yeast Infections,
Sugar Cravings,
Fuzzy feeling, can’t focus,
Bloating or
Itchy Skin (eczema).

If you identify with uncontrollable BLOATING or above symptoms STOP living with poor digestion and try CanadiGONE by Renew Life! Again Candida simply means an overgrowth of yeast (Candida Albicans) resulting in an unbalanced gut. When Candida becomes systemic (meaning released in the blood stream) we suffer from digestive problems that then spread to other parts of the body: like the skin (eczema), fingernails/toenails (fungal), the head (haziness), weight gain, for women vaginal yeast and mouth!

The other essential way to create a balance in your body is to take PROBIOTICS (Good Bacteria). Yogurt will not cut it; there is just not enough of the good bacteria to correct an issue such as yeast overgrowth. A good one to take would be the Ultimate Flora Probiotic by Renew Life.

As always thank you for reading and we look forward to helping you further with lifestyle changes, health challenges or just to talk about health! Find us at a location near you, or you can call us toll free 1866 499 9546. We are there to do mail orders, or just answer questions.

Progressive HCP Symbiotic Kit (Pre& Probiotic)

Categories: Allergies, Bloating, Digestive Health, Eczema, New Products!, Probiotics

Fall Flyer Until October 21st 2010 Pre and Pro KIT $59.99! Buy 4 and get additional 5 % OFF

Progressive HCP Symbiotic Kit (Pre& Probiotic) has been referred to as the Rolls Royce of Probiotics! When you have tried just about everything and you are in desperate need of controlling your IBS, eczema and other health problems, it may be time to try Progressive’s HCP Symbiotic Kit with 70 billion good bacteria ready to protect your kingdom. This wonderful probiotic is here to protect your gut and to host of over 400 Bodily Functions!

HCP®70 (Human Colonizing Probiotic, 70 Billion Cells) is a full spectrum dairy free probiotic supplement featuring 6 human strains that implant healthy flora throughout the digestive tract. Prebiotics are FOOD for the good bacteria which allow colonization. This kit addresses: eczema, vitamin production, immune function, weight management, bloating, IBS, poor complexion, flatulence, food allergies, oral and vaginal health.

Why is HCP different from other probiotics?

It is 100% human strains and according to research only human strains will colonize within the GI tract where plant source strains have failed.

How to use the Kit for BEST Results?

In order to prepare the intestinal terrain and establish proper probiotic implantation, the HCP®Synbiotic Kit is designed to be taken for an initial 3 month period. Once a proper intestinal environment has been established HCP®70 can then be taken on its own for ongoing probiotic maintenance. Contains a 30 day supply (60 caps) of both HCP®Supportand HCP®70.

Many of us are well informed about PRO-Biotics, so why Are PRE-Biotics sooo important?

In order to maximize the impact of a probiotic supplement, you need to begin by preparing the intestinal terrain for proper implantation, colonization and proliferation. HCP®Support contains a family of prebiotics, vegetable concentrates and berry extracts that support probiotic viability while reducing the existing unfriendly bacteria. One of the most helpful analogies is to think of the probiotics as seeds that are ready to be planted, all they need is a proper terrain that is prepared for healthhy growth. Probiotics (seeds) need water and fertilizers (prebiotics) before hand to ensure that those seeds have a place to grow.

Features of Progressives Prebiotics:

• Multiple Oligosaccharides nourish the intestinal flora
• Cranberry, Elderberry Extracts & Red Wine reduce the adhesion of unfriendly bacteria
• Jerusalem Artichoke protects against yeast
• Colostrum & Lactoferrin inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria
• Full colonizing supportHCP
