Research demonstrates that soluble fibre can lower blood levels of fats & cholesterol and assist digestion by aiding bowel function transit time. Fibre is shown to assist in stabilizing blood sugar and in reducing intestinal toxicity.

Barley Grass Contains Carotene, Vitamin B1, B2, B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Biotin, Folic Acid, Pantothenic acid (B5), Nicotinic acid (B3), Chlorophyll & Choline and aids the restoration of acid/alkaline balance as Barley grass alkalinity can be as high as 66.4. High chlorophyll content aids gastric disturbances and bad breath (owing to its deodorant effect) and elimination of toxins. Barley grass greens are commonly referred to as ‘green blood' because of the similarity between Chlorophyll in the green leaves and human blood. The difference being that hemoglobin contains iron and chlorophyll contains magnesium bonded in its structure.

High in numerous enzymes such as peroxidase, catalase, fatty acid oxidase, Barley grass contains over 20 enzymes. Enzymes assist digestion by decomposing food, which in turn promotes better absorption of nutrients from food. An excellent source of concentrated protein & amino acids & high content of most essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium & trace elements zinc and manganese. Low in phosphorus, which is extremely important as phosphorus is over represented in our daily diet.

Ginger Contains lipids, protein, ginerols, shoagoals, vitamins & minerals. Valuable volatile oils stimulate digestion by boosting production of digestive juices. This assists in reducing bloating and neutralizing acids. Ginger has a diaphoretic effect on the body (heating), so is a valuable herb for the circulatory system. Significantly reduces nausea and most helpful with nausea created by Chemotherapy. Traditional remedy for flatulence (wind), indigestion and bloating. Anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties have been identified which may assist joint pain and ease bronchial congestion

Ingredients: Evening Primrose Oil 500mg, Flaxseed Oil 500ml capsules (EFA's & GLA's) omega's 3, 6 & 9.

• Prevents arterial plaque & lowering blood cholesterol levels by decreasing fibrinogen levels & thrombin formation, reducing platelet aggregation & blood viscosity, decreasing lipoprotein LDL & triglycerides
• Transports oxygen
• Helps regulate thyroid & adrenal glands
• Detoxes - the negative charge of essential fatty acids repel their own molecules which in turn directs toxins to be eliminated via the liver, kidneys, lung, skin and intestinal tract
• Increasing lean body mass

This powerful, perfectly balanced and researched ratio of ingredients, combine to play an essential role in:

• maintaining strong connective tissue and joints
• assisting joint and connective tissue repair by aiding the building and maintaining of healthy cartilage
• anti-inflammatory protperties
• reducing stiffness
• improving mobility
• joint strengthening
• proven absorption through the intestines
• may speed healing of sprains, strengthen joints and prevent future injury (The Healing Power of Vitamins, Minerals & Herbs)
• found to be safe and effective for older dogs with arthritis, joint or mobility problems

In healthy joints, the synovial membrane, which is the membrane that lines the joint capsule, is thin. The cartilage that covers the bones is smooth and a layer of synovial fluid covers the joint surfaces so that the joints can glide smoothly over one another.

If anything goes wrong with any of these factors, inflammatory pain starts to occur or stiffness becomes apparent i.e. as with arthritis, back pain or joint mobility problems. Sometimes swelling appears as the synovial membrane thickens or excess fluid is produced. At times, some enlargement of the bones may occur.

Recommended Dietary considerations to assist healing by reducing acid producing foods and balancing acid/alkaline pH levels are shown below:

Why is it important to balance pH levels?

A proper ratio between alkaline and acid foods in the diet is essential for balanced body chemistry, maintaining good resistance against disease and to assist in the healing of disease. A healthy natural ratio is around 4 parts alkaline to 1 part acid (80%-20%). If we eat too many acid-producing foods, our ratio drops and our normal body function is drastically compromised. Alkaline neutralize the acid.

Alkalizing foods (need to be 80% of dietary intake) - All green foods, vegetable & fruit juices especially pineapple, vegetable soups (no additives or soup mixes), figs, raisins, almonds, dates, carrots, celery, cucumber, lettuce, watercress, grapefruit, bananas, watermelon, millet, salad greens, virgin olive oil, papaya, lemons, limes, kumara, grapes, stevia (sugar alternative herb), green tea, herbal tea, cottage cheese, flaxseed oil, dates, most seeds especially pumpkin seeds, buckwheat, potatoes, kelp, ginger, sea salt & an attitude of cheerfulness, generosity of thinking, love & forgiveness

Neutral ash foods - Organic milk, butter, vegetable oils, whey & yoghurt.

Acid forming foods (need to be 20% of dietary intake)- Oysters, pork, most grains, most nuts except almonds and brazil nuts, lentils, peanuts, eggs, most meats, chicken, liver & organ meats, veal, most fish, matured cheeses, alcohol, coffee, tea, soft drinks, rice, chickpea, soya beans, red beans, ice cream, artificial sweeteners, cigarettes, over-work, stress, anger & resentment.

Dr. Ragnar Berg is an authority on the relationship between acid/alkaline ratio in the diet and the detrimental health effects created when the ratio is out of balance. He recommends 80% alkaline producing foods to 20% acid forming foods. As we ingest a lot more bread and cereal these days, we often suffer from an over acid system.

Ingredients: MSM - Methyl Suphonyl Methane (naturally derived)

MSM is a bio-available form of sulphur. Originally MSM was researched for its ability to assist in reducing inflammation for those with Irritable bowel syndrome. Many of the research subjects noticed that their arthritis had also improved. Later studies found not only pain relief for arthritis, fibro-myalgia, migraine, headaches, sinusitis, hay fever & allergies, but improvement with hair growth & nail growth. These finding demonstrated the multi benefits of MSM. An additional benefit is the fact that sulphur is a primary detoxifying agent in our cells.

Ingredients: Magnesium, Calcium, Manganese & Quercetin capsules (1 month supply) This supplement is recommended as a daily supplement for the following reasons:

• Increases disease resistance
• Muscle cramping, spasm & tension
• Inflammation
• Pre-menstrual & menopausal mood disturbances & cramping
• Finish studies demonstrate a reduced risk of developing heart disease or stroke when a diet is high in magnesium & quercetin
• Assists in controlling adult cholesterol levels
• Helps maintain alkaline/acid balance
• Combination of minerals are vital for correct nerve & muscle action
• Feel-good nutrients i.e. de-stress minerals assists in relaxation and sleepas they are natural tranquillizers
• Has a role to play in manufacturing insulin to regulate blood sugar level
• Helps in the process of utilizing goodness from our foods
• Has been shown in studies to act as an effective natural anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine i.e. inhibits the release of histamine (inflammatory chemical). (Robert Atkins M.D.)
• Research indicates quercetin may be effective for general fluid retention and Lymphoedema
• Hyperactivity

Excessive free radical scavenging puts a greater demand on our body to protect ourselves with antioxidant rich foods and bioflavonoids such as quercetin. Stress, injury and toxins create a greater demand on the body for antioxidants, magnesium, calcium and manganese. N.Z. Soils are shown to be deficient in many valuable minerals, particularly magnesium. This impacts on our food chain and can lead to mineral deficient related disorders. Magnesium - helps hold Calcium in our bones & forms tooth enamel. Assists in regulating bone growth in children & in controlling adult cholesterol levels, helps maintain alkaline/acid balance in the body Calcium - builds and maintains bone structure, assists in blood clotting, provides vitality, maintains endurance, increases disease resistance. The combination of Calcium & Magnesium are vital for correct nerve & muscle action, and can assist the body in relaxation and sleep, and are natural tranquillizers. Manganese - assists our body in manufacturing insulin to regulate blood sugar levels, helps in the process of utilizing goodness from our foods and is important for the brain & nervous system. Quercetin - is found in yellow and red onions and has been shown in studies to act as an effective natural anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine (Robert Atkins M.D.). Being a bioflavonoid, it has the ability to protect Vitamin C from being broken down too quickly in the body. Quercetin inhibits the release of histamine (inflammatory chemical). Research indicates Quercetin may be effective for general fluid retention and Lymphoedema. Finish studies demonstrate a reduced risk of developing heart disease or stroke when a diet is high in magnesium and flavonoids, particularly quercetin. Note: The minerals iron, zinc and magnesium, may bind Warfarin and decrease its absorption. For this reason we suggest taking this supplement at least 2 hours apart from the drug Warfarin. Pregnant & breast feeding mothers should avoid herbals and supplementation unless specifically prescribed by a Herbalist, Homeobotanical Therapist or Natural Medicine Practitioner. If symptoms persist, see your Health Professional.

Ingredients: Kiwifruit Enzymes / Papain / Bromelain Enzymes - why we may need to supplement our diet? Enzymes assist digestion, break down of carbohydrate and protein foods and improves absorption of nutrients. Better digestion eliminates congestion, bloating, wind, indigestion, frequent bouts of reflux and greatly improves bowel health. Kiwikitz™ Multi-Digestive Enzymes contain: Papain is an important enzyme extracted from mature green pawpaw which has powerful proteolytic action stronger than pepsin. Digests protein thoroughly, which frees the amino acids for rapid absorption. Papain facilitates the eradication of threadworms & roundworms (Dr H. Vogel) Kiwifruit an excellent source of Vitamin C, Potassium and the powerful protein digestive enzyme Actinidin, which is also an efficient meat tenderizer Bromelain inhibits or modulates release of inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2). Found in pineapple. To preserve valuable enzyme production and avoid diluting enzymes produced in the saliva, Kiwikitz recommend not drinking with meals or directly following meals.

• Enzymes fight Cancer by exposing antigens on the surface of cancer cells natural killer cells recognize & destroy them (Maureen Kennedy Salaman)
• Vital digestive enzymes aid digestion and assimilation of nutrients from food.
• Life cannot exist with out enzymes as they are required for every chemical reaction that takes place in our body.
• Vitamins & Minerals cannot do their work without enzymes. and hormones cannot regulate body processes.
• Enzymes build our body from carbohydrates, fats and protein and are lost through processing & cooking food.
• Digestive enzyme function is to digest carbohydrate (amylase), fat (lipase) & protein (protease)
• Supplementing with digestive enzymes eases the strain on the body's production of metabolic enzyme need (enzyme potential).
• Exhaustion of our enzyme potential weakens our life
• When the pancreas has to process extra enzymes, it gets larger.
• Radiation of food destroys food enzymes.
• Vitamins, as coenzymes, work with enzymes in every chemical reaction in each cell of our body.
• Supplementing with digestive enzymes may minimize stress on the body.
• Enzymes assist in extracting chelated minerals from our food

Note: Use with caution if taking Warfarin as the enzymes bromelain and papain may reduce the effectiveness of the drug Warfarin.
