Renew Life Intestinal Bowel SupportWhat is Intestinal Bowel Support?
Intestinal Bowel Support is comprised of ingredients to provide enhanced support to heal and repair the intestinal tract lining, while at the same time, relieve cramping, spasms, and irritation of the intestinal tract and colon. It can be used by anyone who wishes to improve their intestinal health but it is especially helpful for those who suffer from I.B.S. How is it delivered?
Intestinal Bowel Support consists of powdered herbs and amino acids delivered in vegetable capsules. What does it do?
Intestinal Bowel Support helps to heal and support the intestinal tract lining, while at the same time, relieve cramping, spasms, and irritation of the intestinal tract and colon. How does it work?
With conditions such as I.B.S., it is important to provide your intestinal tract with the nutrients required for it to function properly. The cells in our intestinal tract lining are replaced about two times weekly. Two main nutrients are necessary to rebuild the intestinal lining; L-Glutamine and N-acetyl glucosamine. Intestinal Bowel Support works to sooth and heal the damaged areas of the intestinal tract and its lining by providing the body with a therapeutic dose of L-Glutamine as well as N-Acetyl-Glucosamine. This formula also provides ingredients which help to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the intestinal tract. Additionally, Intestinal Bowel Support works to relieve symptoms such as painful cramping, spasms and irritation in the intestinal tract with therapeutic doses of ingredients such as Ginger Root, Goldenseal Root and Turmeric Root. The Chinese herbal blend in Intestinal Bowel Support works to soothe, calm, and provide support to the bowel. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, this particular blend (used in a double blind study) was shown to be effective with IBS sufferers (1998). How do I take it?
Take 2 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach (30 minutes before eating) and 2 capsules in the evening on an empty stomach (3 hours after eating). What can I expect?
Intestinal Bowel Support provides relief from the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Those with severe symptoms may feel relief after the first few days, although it will take a longer period of time for long term relief. For those with mild to moderate symptoms, relief
may take from a few days to a few weeks after starting the program. Support Products
Once your symptoms have subsided and are under control, we suggest moving from Intestinal Bowel Support to our maintenance products; IntestiNEW and Intestinal Bowel Soother. IntestiNEW is a therapeutic intestinal healing product. It helps to ensure that the intestinal tract lining continues to rebuild and repair itself regularly, while at the same time, reduces inflammation and irritation in the intestinal tract. It can be taken on an ongoing basis (1 scoop per day). Intestinal Bowel Soother is for acute flair ups of IBS symptoms. Take 2 capsules per day when required, to alleviate the symptoms of IBS.
