I’ve long been a fan of their Super 8 Microbiotics and have recently been introduced to the rest of their range which I have found a welcome addition to my diet. Optimal digestive health is so important, and investing in good gut health has been something that I’ve personally been very interested in, and so working with a brand that has a similar ethos seemed like the perfect fit.’

Terranova Dandelion, Artichoke and Cysteine Complex

Your liver and the festive season

One of the largest and most important organs of the body. It acts like a giant filter to remove waste and toxins from the blood. The liver also produces bile for fat digestion and toxin neutralisation, metabolises alcohol, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, supports the immune system and stores vitamins. It is therefore important to keep the liver functioning and healthy especially during this time of year where alcohol consumption is higher and foods are richer and eaten in large quantities. Terranova Nutrition has developed a formula which can supports you during this time.

Terranova Nutrition is a multi-award winning supplement company with a range of more than 60 different nutritional and botanical products. Formulated and manufactured in Britain, Terranova is one of only a few large-scale supplement companies in the industry that does not use fillers, binders and other manufacturing additives in its products, and one of even fewer such companies that is 100% suitable for vegans. The Dandelion, Artichoke and Cysteine complex is no exception

This complex contains some of the following essential ingredients:

Dandelion Root:

This common weed has many health benefits, including aiding digestion and improving liver function. In this formula, dandelion would be most beneficial for increasing bile flow for fat metabolism making it perfect for the festive season when meals are often high in fats.

Artichoke Leaf:

Artichoke has long been used for its digestive benefits however research has found that it’s benefits extend to more than just digestive discomfort. It helps the liver with fat breakdown, repair of liver cells, and beneficial in cholesterol metabolism in the body

L-Cysteine:

One of the biggest benefits of this amino acid is that it is used in the detoxification process. Toxins and impurities are removed so that better health is achieved. It is also used in fat breakdown and repair of cells in the liver and body.

Turmeric Root:

The curcuminoids in turmeric root have been heavily researched for their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Antioxidants help with the breakdown of free radicals that are especially damaging to the body. There is also evidence that turmeric may enhance the activity of enzymes that are crucial to liver health and production of bile.

Schisandra Berry:

Long used in Traditional Chinese medicine for its health benefits, modern Chinese research has found that this not only helps with liver function , but that it also helps with protection of the liver cells from free radical damage.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA):

A powerful antioxidant that is uniquely both water and fat soluble which can therefore be used in all parts of the body and it is known to enhance the effects of other antioxidants in the body. ALA is also a key component for cellular energy in the body and has also been used for blood sugar regulation and immune system support

Sea Buckthorn Berry/Leaf, Green Tea Leaf, Kale, Green Barley Grass, Stabilised Rice Bran, Vitamin C, Taurine, Larch Tree, Selenium

Living Nutrition Your Flora

Living culture symbiotics offers a more natural wholefood option than standard probiotics in providing full spectrum support for your natural digestive flora. Most of us are used to taking large doses of individual strains of microflora such as Acidophilus lactobacillus but Living nutrition’s support goes further. The Your Flora Symbiotic range involves all the nutrients and factors involved in seeding, colonising and thriving within a complex and dynamic ecosystem that is your gut.

You are unique, so is your flora

We each have our own unique and dynamic eco-system within our digestive tract, rich in a vast and diverse array of microorganisms. This ecosystem influences both your physical and emotional health and is essential for optimal digestion. Living Nutrition recognise the need to support your individual flora and the complex requirements of a balanced, healthy ecosystem.

The symbiotic approach

Symbiosis – the intimate relationship of different organisms living and evolving in harmony, within an ecosystem for the benefit of each other.

Kefi-soya™ – the living culture symbiotic

Living Nutrition have developed an exceptional whole-food living culture symbiotic using a traditional month long kefir style fermentation.

Kefi-soya™ is a selection of 35 microorganisms fermented in organic soymilk. This fermented living culture provides a synergy of healthy microorganisms within their natural ecosystem.

Kefi-soya™ is so more than a capsule of bacteria. It is a living food matrix rich in nutrients, enzymes and naturally evolved microorganisms.

Fermented soymilk – the symbiotic of our ancestors

Research has proven that fermented soya milk is by far the best source of nutrition for supporting the gut flora. Recently soya has a mixed reputation, but this is due to how it is processed and consumed. Soya in its fermented forms such as miso, tempeh and natto are highly nutritious and extremely beneficial for the gut ecology.

Your Flora’s 6 New Synbiotics include:
Your Flora Coolmint

Kefi-soya™ plus organic peppermint and lemon balm –  Suitable for those with digestive sensitivity, including IBS.

Your Flora – Family

Kefi-soya™ plus organic banana and baobab – Suitable for the whole family as an ongoing support for the digestive microflora
