            $53.95

            High-potency, 50+ billion CFUs.
            Ther-Biotic Detoxification Support delivers large amounts of specific 
probiotics to the intestinal tract to complement detoxification protocols such 
as broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-fungal/anti-microbial medications, or heavy 
metal chelating agents that can compromise friendly flora. Toxins and metabolic 
by-products generated during use of these agents can exacerbate intestinal 
dysbiosis and disturb the healthy balance of intestinal flora.
            Ther-Biotic Detoxification Support provides two colonizing Lactobacillus and 
one endogenous Bifidobacterium probiotic species that can support the body’s 
natural detoxification process by metabolizing or reducing the uptake of toxins 
in the gut thereby facilitating the elimination of toxins and by-products from 
the intestinal tract. Formulated with 50+ billion CFUs per capsule, Ther- 
Biotic Detoxification Support uses our proprietary InTactic technology to 
ensure maximum delivery of live microorganisms throughout the intestinal tract. 
Once a healthy balance of intestinal flora is achieved, use of Ther-Biotic 
Complete or Vital-10 is recommended for daily maintenance. This product is 
often suitable for individuals adhering to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) 
program.*

                Herb Vs. Spices

                by

                  Herb Vs. Spices
                  The difference between the two is where they are obtained from a plant.

                  Herbs come from the leafy and green part of the plant.
                  Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem, bulb, bark or seeds.

                  We often hear the term “herbs and spices”. As any amateur chef knows, herbs and spices are vital ingredients in many dishes. They add flavor, aroma, color, texture and even nutrients.

                  Both spices and herbs are parts of plants (fresh or dried) that are used to enhance the flavor of foods. They’ve also been known to preserve foods, cure illness and enhance cosmetics.

                  Herbs are usually grown in more temperate areas than spices and have great medicinal value and are also used in the preparation of cosmetic products.

                  Spices are usually dried before being used to season foods. Unlike herbs, they are grown in more tropical countries. They’ve also been known to preserve foods and some have medicinal value, such as turmeric with its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal properties.

                  Despite the above clarification, according to the American Spice Trade Association, spices are defined as “any dried plant product used primarily for seasoning purposes”. This really broadens the definition of spices, allowing it to include herbs, dehydrated veggies, spice blends and spice seeds.

                  Here are a few example of herbs and spices, along with their reported nutritional/health benefits.

                  Spice Nutrition
                  Cinnamon
                  Lowers blood sugar levels, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides especially in people with type 2 diabetes

                  Ginger
                  Can stop nausea and may also relieve heartburn

                  Cloves
                  Have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiseptic properties; they are known for relieving flatulence and can actually help promote good digestion as well as metabolism

                  Chili
                  Contains capsaicin which puts the heat in chilies, may lower the risk of skin and colon cancers, shown to suppress appetite and boost metabolism

                  Mustard seeds
                  Contain phytonutrient compounds that protect against cancers of the gastrointestinal tract; believed to reduce the severity of asthma

                  Herb Nutrition
                  Basil
                  Rich in Vitamin A and K. Assists with combatting bowel inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis

                  Oregano
                  Assists with inflammation

                  Mint
                  Helps with digestion and asthma

                  Parsley
                  Protects against rheumatoid arthritis, antioxidant-rich, fights cancer, high in vitamin C and iron.

                  Thyme
                  Contains the oil, thymol, especially helpful for chest and respiratory problems, also acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant.

                  Old Label vs. New labeling on food-FDA Announement

                  by


                    Old vs New Label – What’s Different?
                    While much of the new label’s look isn’t drastically different from the old label, the information and layout have been revamped. According to the FDA’s announcement, the most notable differences between the old and new label include:
                    * Increasing the type size for “Calories,” “servings per container,” and the “Serving size” declaration, and bolding the number of calories and the “Serving size” declaration to highlight this information.
                    * Requiring manufacturers to declare the actual amount, in addition to percent Daily Value of vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium. (They can voluntarily declare the gram amount for other vitamins and minerals.)
                    * Changing the footnote to better explain what percent Daily Value means. It will read: “*The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.”
                    * Adding the “Added Sugars” declaration directly beneath the listing for “Total Sugars.”
                    * Removing “Calories from Fat” because research shows the type of fat is more important than the amount.
                    * Serving sizes must be based on amounts of foods and beverages that people are actually eating, not what they should be eating.

                    Image source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration
                    Now that you have a better understanding of the new label, let’s discuss some labeling strategies you can use to meet these label requirements without causing major disruptions to your business.
                    Label Tips for Manufacturers
                    Updating your labels can be a pain but with some planning, it can be a much easier process. Below are some suggestions to help you get started on your path to FDA label compliance:
                    * Mask old info with cover-up labels: Also known as “block out labels,” this unique label material allows you the ability to completely cover up the old Nutrition Facts while continuing to use the last of your label inventory.
                    * Embrace a new label look: Updating labels with the new Nutrition Facts can be the perfect opportunity to evaluate your current label design and try something new or make improvements.
