Thompson's Ginkgo Biloba

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:36:21 -0600

">]]>

Ginkgo Biloba is the oldest living tree species with a 3,000 year history of medicinal use by Chinese herbalists.

Traditionally Ginkgo was recommended in cases of chilblains and poor circulation and for all 'cold' conditions. It has been shown that Ginkgo Biloba can help to enhance blood flow to the peripheries of the body and may also work to increase blood flow to the brain.

In fact, Ginkgo maintains and supports the circulation of the blood to all the organs of the body. It, thus, helps to enhance metabolism and boost oxygen levels in the brain. Enhanced circulation to the brain benefits both short and long term memory, it can help improve reaction time and improve mental clarity.

Peripheral circulation may also benefit from using Ginkgo Biloba. Ginkgo is often recommended for those who suffer symptoms of cerebral insufficiency, such as poor concentration and memory, absentmindedness, confusion or tinnitus.

Active Botanicals Ginkgo Biloba is standardised to 26- 27% ginkgo falvonglycosides, (the highest potency available) and 6-7% glycosides and bilobalide and provides an equivalent of 2000 mg of dry leaf in every capsule.

Thompson's Psyllium

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:31:02 -0600

">]]>

Psyllium is an excellent source of soluble fibre that can have a lubricating effect on the intestinal tract.

When used on an ongoing basis, Psyllium can enhance the healthy functioning of the entire digestive tract. Psyllium coats and soothes the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.

Psyllium is, therefore, beneficial to all inflammatory disorders of the digestive system. It is recommended for such conditions as ulcers, diarrhoea, and constipation. Psyllium encourages natural muscular action in the bowel, regulating peristalsis.

Active Botanicals Psyllium husk is in a powder form for ease of dosage variation. The husks have been separated from the seeds and are present as pure husk. The husk supplies fibre that is not digested by the body, but that can absorb large quantities of liquid and form a gel. This fibrous gel can then soak up toxins and harmful residues, flushing them out of the system, during its passage through the digestive tract.

Formulation
Psyllium Husk Powder (Plantago psyllium)........................300gms

Directions for Use

Adults - Take 5 grams (one 5ml spoonful) once or twice a day, mixed with a glass of water.
Children (8 - 12) - Half adult dose, on advice.
Low allergy formulation.
No added sugar, wheat, salt, corn, milk, yeast, glutens, artificial colouring, flavouring or preservatives.

Indications for Use
Because Psyllium is a rich source of soluble fibre, it is suited to such conditions as colitis and diverticulitis, and is an excellent colon cleanser as it creates bulk in the system. It may, thus, help with constipation, when taken with adequate quantities of water. As a soluble fibre, Psyllium also has a role in the maintenance of healthy blood vessels, as it helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Used in conjunction with good dietary habits it may aid in the prevention of elevated blood cholesterol levels.

Contraindications
Not to be used in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or during pregnancy unless under the supervision of a qualified practitioner.
