Acidophilus is renowned to be of use for the balance of good and bad bacteria in the bowel. It can be used to return the intestinal flora back to normal, healthy levels (natural flora levels may be affected by fungus or antibiotics). It contains high potency lactobacillus and bifidus, both known to support your body's defenses against intestinal inflammation and diseases. Our formulation contains 8 billion live bacteria per capsule (at time of manufacture),and fructooligosaccharides (fos) for the best assimilation. Fos have been shown to help with improvement of calcium and magnesium absorption, balance gut ph, lipid profiles, strengthening of intestinal barrier and reduction of pathogenic bacteria.

More than 80% of the population have digestive problems, many of these cases centre around a lack of digestive enzymes and levels of HCL (stomach acid), sufficient enough to fuel mineral salts needed for HCL production. Nutrivital HCL and protease supports the initial process of digestion before digestive enzymes take over. Many HCL supplements contain pepsin (pig mucosa) whereas at Nutrivital we prefer to use protease a plant enzyme.

Helps fight bacterial plaqueMastic Gum is a natural resin from the Pistacia Lentiscus tree found in the isle of Chios in Greece. It can either be chewed or swallowed and is particularly effective for maintaining health of all parts of the digestive tract where ulcers can occur - mouth and stomach included. Take six beads first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. A 1998 University of Nottingham study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that mastic can heal peptic ulcers by killing Helicobacter pylori, which causes peptic ulcers, gastritis, and duodenitis. Mastic Gum is free of side effects. NutriVital Mastic Gum is imported directly from Chios, and is kept in its natural state with no added chemicals.

Nutrivital Yucca is traditionally used for cleaning the colon and regulating colonic bacteria as it is believed to have powerful anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. This implies the support of the body's other eliminative systems, such as kidneys, liver, lymph and blood. It is also traditionally used as a gentle laxative to correct constipation.Yucca is high in vitamins A, B, and C, and contains potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper, all of which support the proper functioning of the digestive tract. Research Study Research Study In 1975, Dr. Robert Bingham, director of the National Arthritis Medical Clinic, tested Yucca saponin extract on 149 patients at the California center. Most of the patients later felt less pain, stiffness, and swelling in their joints. Others also received additional benefits, such as migraine relief, lower blood pressure, and cholestero/-triglyceride reduction. Dr. Bingham believes that the saponins aid digestion and absorption of fats. They work as cleansing substances, which help prevent absorption of harmful bacteria and protozoa from the bowel that cause stiffness and inflammation in the joints. Take10 drops in a little water or apply topically 2 month supply if 10 drops per day 1 month supply if 20 drops per day. Occasionally, Yucca can cause intestinal cramping and harsh bowel evacuation. In these cases, reduce the amount of Yucca taken, and/or combine with ginger. It is not recommended that Yucca is used from more than three months, as it may interfere with fat-soluble vitamins.
