Do you suffer from eczema or any autoimmune problem? Do you have skin complexion problems? If you answered "YES" to any of the above, then you may be a candidate for supplementation with Adëeva Flora Essentials. What is Flora Essentials? Flora Essentials contains a high potency, full-spectrum blend of digestive enzymes, coupled with prebiotics to help improve the digestive process and better regulate immune function. What Do Digestive Enzymes Do? Digestive enzyme supplements help your body's own digestive enzymes complete the process of breaking down the food you eat into small absorbable components. In many instances, bloating or abdominal discomfort after meals results from incomplete digestion of food, leaving behind fermentable by-products within the intestinal tract. Supplementation with Flora Essentials can often help to remedy this situation by completing the process of digestion, as some individuals (especially women and older individuals) do not secrete optimal amounts of digestive enzymes on their own. Of course, post-meal bloating can arise from various abdominal conditions, and thus, you should be assessed by your family physician to rule out any major conditions before using Flora Essentials for post-meal bloating problems. * Before taking Flora Essentials for simple post-meal bloating or abdominal discomfort problems have your physician rule out: Food allergies Lactose and Fructose intolerance Celiac disease Other intestinal, pelvic and ovarian problems * Note that Flora Essentials can be used as an adjunctive supplement to help minimize the extent of food sensitivities and intolerances. What is Prebiotics? Prebiotics serves as food for the friendly bacteria (e.g., lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidus bacteria) within the large intestine. Flora Essentials contains the two most important prebiotics, Fructo-Oligo Saccharide (FOS) and inulin. Establishing a healthier intestinal flora (more friendly gut bacteria than unfriendly gut bacteria) has been shown to help improve many cases of eczema, as well as help regulate immune function in certain autoimmune conditions. A healthy gut flora (friendly gut bacteria) also aids elimination, detoxification, bowel health, and digestion. In modern society, the common use of prescription antibiotics, refined sugars, fiber-devoid foods, antibiotics used in animals, can significantly alter our gut microflora and allow unfriendly bacteria and yeast to flourish. Prebiotics can help re-establish a healthy gut flora, especially when combined with a probiotic supplement and/or probiotic-containing foods (low-fat yogurt, tempeh, sauerkraut, kimchi, etc.). What about complexion problems? Improving the digestive process and ridding the large intestine of unfriendly bacteria, fungi, and yeast (as well as the endotoxins they secrete), can be helpful in improving skin complexion. Hence, Flora Essentials can be used as an adjunctive measure in certain complexion problems. In this instance, it is also prudent to also consider using the Adeeva Immuno-Detox Prime supplement, to help maximize detoxification.
