"In the 50 years I've spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people's health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for before any healing can take place."
Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., PH.D, Nutritionist

and may even reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may be particularly useful for
older people, bolstering levels of 'friendly bacteria' which dwindle with age." Daily
Mail.
Probiotics are especially important to replace bacteria indiscriminately killed by
taking antibiotics and to help fight Candida overgrowth.

movement at least every 2 days or for maintenance following a bowel cleanse. The
Burdock root has a prebiotic action which helps ‘friendly’ bacteria to thrive and
assists assimilation of nutrients.

Ginger, Cayenne, Thyme and Garlic bulb in vegetable capsules.
Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.

BOWEL CLEANSING (COLON CLEANSING)
The ideal first step in any health rejuvenation programme. Bowel cleansing helps to flush out toxins and impacted faecal matter from the colon, improving the elimination of waste and reducing toxicity. The cleanses also have a positive benefit for the small intestine, helping to clear mucoid deposits which block the assimilation of nutrients.
Proper bowel function is one of the major keys to good health. We highly recommend performing a bowel cleanse at least once a year as part of a general health maintenance programme.
