Nurofibe Digestive Health Support
 The Second Brain: Digestive Tract
This product was created in light of discoveries made by neurobiologists, Dr. Michael Gershon, M.D., author of "The Second Brain" (Harper Collins, 1999) and a neurobiologist at New York's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center who is one of a number of researchers who have been studying brain-gut connections in the relatively new field of neurogastroenterology. They have discovered that there are more neurons in the gastrointestinal tract than there are along the spinal cord.
What was once seen as simply a collection of relay ganglia, the enteric nervous system is now recognized as a complex integrative "brain" in its own right. The connection between these brains lies at the root of many woes; physical and psychiatric. Ailments such as anxiety, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers and Parkinson's disease manifest symptoms at the brain and at the gut level.
Nurofibe can help....
- Promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation and diarrhea
- Regulates blood sugar levels for individuals with diabetes by acting on pancreatic insulin release and liver control of glycogen breakdown.
- Suppresses cholesterol synthesis by the liver and reduces blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides responsible for atherosclerosis.
- Provides a source of energy for the rapidly dividing cells of the intestinal lining.
- Helps prevent colon cancer by keeping an optimal pH level in intestines to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances.
- Lowers colonic pH (i.e.,raises the acidity level in the colon) which protects the colon lining from formation of polyps and increases absorption of dietary minerals.
- Stimulates production of T-helper cells, antibodies, leukocytes, cytokines and lymph mechanisms, which play a crucial role in immune protection.
- Improves barrier properties of the colonic mucosal layer, inhibiting inflammatory and adhesion irritants.
- Provides essential nootropics for the proper functioning of the Enteric Nervous System.
- Increases proliferation of beneficial colonic bacteria for intestinal health-Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli (probiotics).
- Provides 'Buddha's chosen herb', Haritaki Fruit, which has proven gastrokinetic effects.
- Exhibits powerful adaptogenic activity that can restore homeostasis.
