Groundbreaking News: Designer Enzyme Complex

As a doctor, researcher and recovered victim of chemical sensitivities and digestive disorders, I know firsthand that a deficiency in enzymes creates more toxins from undigested food in an already compromised immune system. Finally, there is a unique, full-spectrum, 100-per-cent vegetarian digestive enzyme, CapraZyme, that assists digestive processes and also contains therapeutic ingredients helpful in repairing damage from a leaky gut, ulcers and damaged intestinal lining.

CapraCleanse contains a bioactive botanical blend that:

  • reduces overall inflammation, as in fibromyalgia, arthritis and gout
  • soothes the stomach, cleanses the colon, reduces spasms and helps overall circulation
  • increases stomach acidity, aiding digestion
  • has an anaesthetizing effect on the intestinal tract
  • acts as an astringent, antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral agent
  • lowers cholesterol
  • aids elimination through its gentle laxative effect
  • acts as a powerful uptake mechanism for nutrient absorption.
      In addition, it contains antioxidants, carotenoids and enzymes to digest proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibre, grains, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables, dairy products (lactose and protein) and soy. Plus, it works in a pH from 3 to 9.CapraZyme is unique because of its ability to reduce inflammation and repair intestinal damage. With illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities and digestive disorders reaching epidemic proportions, CapraZyme is a breakthrough blend that assists the entire digestive system—naturally.

      Fresh-Flavoured Fish Oils

      You’ve probably heard about the remarkable health and beauty benefits from adding fish oils to your diet. Yet many people are turned off by fish oils because they taste and smell unpleasantly fishy.

      Nordic Naturals fish oils are different. At Nordic Naturals, we know taste is an indicator of quality. Our high quality oils taste good because they’re fresh—not oxidized. In fact, independent laboratory tests show that Nordic Naturals fish oils have oxidation levels 10 to 30 times lower thancompetitors. Plus, our patented flavouring process gives our oils and capsules a light, natural fruity flavor.

      No wonder Nordic Naturals is the preferred choice of physicians and research institutions, including Harvard and Georgetown. We deliver results and quality, without the fishy taste. Let us change how you feel about fish oils! Available in finer health food stores by calling Ecotrend at 1-800-665-7065 or Ecomax at 1-877-876-8445.
