a few words explaining Crohn's Disease
product one explained CP-1
product two explained Glutamine
product three explained Colixen

Crohn's is a condition in which areas of inflammation occur anywhere along the intestinal tract, especially the last segment of the small intestine (ileum) and the colon. It causes inflammation, deep ulcers and scarring to the wall of the intestine and often occurs in patches. Crohn's disease involves all layers of the intestine. In Crohn's, normal, healthy sections of bowel may lie between patches of diseased bowel.

Symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, associated 'right sided' abdominal pain, severe fatigue, fever, weight loss, and abdominal fullness. Often the first attack seems to be like appendicitis, and many times occurs around the age of twenty. As the disease progresses, intestinal function becomes ever more impaired. Abscesses, fistulas, pockets and canals of infection can affect other organs.

The severity of the symptoms fluctuates unpredictably over time. Patients are likely to experience flare-ups in between intervals of remission or reduced symptoms. Crohn's Disease affects approx 55,000 people in the UK - that's about 1 in 1,000. Approximately 3,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Research shows that the number of people with Crohn's Disease has been rising steadily, particularly among young people. More recently, numbers have stabilised.

Supercharge your gut with Custom Probiotics Adult Formula CP-1 - the most powerful probiotic supplement in the world. The latest independent laboratory report noted 78 billion bacteria per capsule. That is more than in some whole bottles of other brands. CP-1 contains five different strains of bacteria, specific for the health of both the large and small intestines. Three strains of Lactobacilli ( acidophilus, casei and plantarum) and two strains of Bifidobacteria (longum and bifidum).

It is essential for optimal health to maintain a good balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This balance is often upset by antibiotics, pharmaceutical drugs, stress and poor diet. This can lead to chronic problems such as Candida, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and inflammatory bowel conditions. CP-1 has been independently trialled by the Candida Society. All triallists were impressed by the quality of the product, and noticed improvements in the following symptoms:

Fatigue · Abdominal pain · Absorption of food · Headaches
· Food intolerance · Bowel movement · Depression · Bloating

No adverse reactions were noted by any triallists, and all wanted to continue using it beyond the trial period. Here is a short list of the benefits of supplementation with a good quality probiotic like CP-1:

1. Stimulation of the immune system, cytokine production, local and systemic antibodies, interferon production and increased macrophage activity
2. Improved lactose metaboloism
3. Reduction of antibiotic associated diarrhoea
4. Reduction of severity of abdominal pain and constipation
5. Anti-carcinogenic properties in animal studies

Dosage information:

Start with one capsule first thing in the morning, and one capsule last thing at night, both with a glass of water. Continue this for three days. Then raise the dosage to two capsules first thing in the morning and two last thing at night for three days. Next, raise the dosage to three first thing in the morning and three last thing at night, and stay at this dosage level. You can always lower the dosage level, or stop taking the probiotics for one or two days if desired. Please note that every digestive system is unique and individual like a fingerprint. You need to find the level of dosage that suits you as an individual. It may be 1, 2, 4, or 6 capsules per day. Gradual increase in dosage is the best way to find this optimum personal level. The probiotic formulations must be refrigerated to maintain maximum potency. You can, however, travel with probiotic supplements unrefrigerated for two to three weeks with almost no bacterial count reduction. Please note that these probiotics are designed to give at least two to three times the 25 billion count indicated on the label.

Description:

Glutamine is an amino acid that has a positive growth effect on the intestinal lining. It is a good intestinal food source for quick energy for the cells that line the intestinal tract. In this way, Glutamine indirectly helps to support many functions of the intestinal tract. It is so protective of the intestinal tract that when it is given alongside chemotherapy, it reduces some of the negative side effects on the gut and enhances the overall well-being of the cancer patient too.

Dosage information:

Take two capsules in the morning, two at lunchtime and two in the evening, either with food or on an empty stomach.

Description:

Rapid and prolonged upset of the balance of the bacteria in the gut can be caused by antibiotics, opportunistic bacteria and parasites, as well as environmental and psychological stress. This imbalance can cause bacterial hypersensitivity, facilitating such problems as colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma and arthritis.

A healthy balance of good gut bacteria can be encouraged by supplementing with a balance of mucins, ricinoleic acid and Gum arabic. Mucins facilitate the removal of bad bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites from the gut by binding and entrapment, at the same time as providing carbohydrate for good gut bacteria. Gum arabic provides a food source for Bifidobacteria in the large intestine, boosting their population. Ricinoleic acid helps to improve people's hypersensitivity to intestinal bacteria.

Colixen is a scientifically-designed nutritional supplement. Manufacturing processes provide a steady-release delivery system throughout the intestinal tract.

Dosage information:

Take one tablet three times daily.
