Has a health care provider ever told you that while taking antibiotics you should also eat yogurt? Have you ever wondered why that is? The reason is that not all bacteria are bad. In fact, some bacteria are essential for healthy digestion. Unfortunately it’s not only antibiotics that can deplete your intestinal flora – many of the highly processed foods we eat every day can wreak havoc as well! Standard Process has produced a supplement – Prebiotic Inulin – that can assist in rebuilding the intestinal flora and support overall digestive health.
“Prebiotic Inulin supports bone health, immune function and gut balance by providing a favorable environment for your intestinal microflora. Prebiotics are food (carbohydrates) that feed the good bacteria in the gut. They promote a favorable environment for the growth of native flora . . . (Inulin) is broken down by a fermentation process in the colon. This fermentation process promotes the growth of friendly intestinal microflora. This product contains Inulin, Calcium and Magnesium.” – Prebiotic Inulin Product Detail Sheet

Vegetables play a critical role in nutrition. They provide essential minerals and enzymes that the body needs. This is especially true for growing children. Unfortunately, most children would rather eat pizza than kale or brussel sprouts. Standard Process has addressed this problem with SP Green Food.
“(SP Green Food) contains Brussels sprouts, kale, buckwheat, barley grass, and alfalfa that come straight from our certified organic farm. These vegetables act as antioxidants, sweeping free radicals away from the body. In addition, SP Green Food supports normal growth and development, protects cells from abnormal growth and division, and enhances immune system response.
If your child is not able to swallow capsules, open up the SP Green Food capsule and shake on your child’s favorite food, such as soup, yogurt, applesauce, popcorn, etc. Adding it to snacks is also a great way to increase the nutrient value.” – Standard Process

Getting enough calcium is a critical nutrition concern for everyone. Calcium is vital for not only bone mineralization, but also maintenance and function of many cell membranes and the proper functioning of many enzyme systems. Supplementing with calcium is an excellent idea to make sure that your body is getting enough of this important nutrient. Standard Process produces a whole food supplement for calcium called Calcium Lactate.
“Calcium and magnesium are of critical important to human health, especially bone health. Bones and teeth contain 99% of the calcium and two-thirds of the magnesium that circulates in the body. Calcium lactate is a highly soluble calcium salt with high bioavailability, making it an excellent source of calcium. Magnesium citrate is also a highly bioavailable form of magnesium. Together these two minerals support a whole host of biological functions including bone formation and growth, muscle contraction, the constriction and relaxation of blood vessels, energy metabolism and much more.” – Standard Process Calcium lactate product detail sheet

If you’re worried that your diet isn’t providing all of the nutrition your body needs, an excellent way to start supplementing is with vitamins. But, how do you choose a good quality vitamin? Unfortunately, many of the vitamins sold in stores are synthetic. At best, only 50% of a synthetic vitamin can be used somewhat effectively by your body. Processing what’s left of the synthetic vitamin can actually have adverse effects on your body. At Rejuvenation & Well Being we rely solely on whole food supplements made by Standard Process. Whole food supplements are literally made from whole fruits and vegetables giving your body nutrition it can use. In the upcoming weeks, we’ll be featuring some of the most popular whole food supplements we carry. This week, we’ll be starting with Catalyn which is a multivitamin.
Catalyn is a multiple vitamin, mineral, and trace mineral concentrate formulated by Dr. Royal Lee in 1929. Catalyn is the antithesis of the “mega-dose” approach to nutritional supplementation. Dr. Lee summoned the whole of his considerable nutritional experience and know-how to provide a nutritional catalyst, a supplement using whole food ingredients which he named Catalyn. Dr. Lee’s goal was to provide a food-based package of nutrients in the most potent and bioavailable form–its natural state.
