Pure-Le Natural creates quality herbal food, digestive and immune supplements. This family owned, Canadian company dates back to 1888 and is known for their high-quality standards and popular products including; Liquid Greens, Fiberrific, Oil of Oregano and Stevia Concentrate. Keeping true to their roots, Pur-Le Naturals supplies quality in herbal supplements.
Every time we turn around something reminds us about the importance of fiber. Advertising touts products new and improved when they are considered high fiber or have added whole grain. So what's all the fuss about? The standard North American diet is largely deficient in fiber because of the refining process. It strips the fibrous coat off of grains and removes the skins of fruits and vegetables.
Thus the food becomes easier to process but deficient in fiber and nutrients. Colon cancer, diabetes and high cholesterol are just a few of the conditions that afflict millions of people and can be helped by proper fiber intake. There are several different types of fiber each with their own health benefits.
Bran, gums and mucilages are fibers that regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol. They also bind to toxins and waste products in the intestines, ensuring that these harmful agents pass through the digestive tract without being reabsorbed by the body. By eating oatmeal, oat bran, sesame seeds and dried beans you take in substantial amounts of these fibers. Some medicinal types of this fiber are glucomannan and psyllium seed. Glucomannan binds to fat in the intestines, normalizes blood sugar and decreases appetite (by expanding in the stomach). It benefits those who are obese, diabetic or hypoglycemic. Psyllium seed is an intestinal cleanser and stool softener. It is the major component of the commercial preparation called Metamucil. But Metamucil contains colourings and flavourings that are not found in psyllium preparations.
Cellulose is an indigestible fiber that is found in fruit and vegetable skins. Because it is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract it bulks the stool and acts as an intestinal cleanser. It helps to prevent and treat hemorrhoids, varicose veins, constipation and colitis. It also binds to toxins so that they are not absorbed into the body.
Hemicellulose is also an indigestible fiber that is found in fruit and vegetables. It regulates the water content of the stool. It is used as a treatment for weight loss, constipation, detoxification and the prevention of colon cancer.
Vitamin D3
Although at one time 400IU was considered appropriate for supplementation, many health care practitioners are now recommending 1000-4000IU/day, with doses as high as 10,000IU/day still being considered safe and necessary depending on the condition and assuming you are under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
It is fair to say that we are only just beginning to understand the immense difference that vitamin D can make in terms of everyday health and disease prevention.
Vitamin D plays an integral role in bone health, promoting our absorption of both calcium and phosphorus. For this reason, it is commonly used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
We are understanding more and more the importance that vitamin D is playing in supporting immune function. Vitamin D has the ability to modulate the immune response, rather than simply strengthen it. In cases of immune dysregulation (autoimmune disorders, cancer, psoriasis) it serves to balance the response, therefore decreasing the dangerous over-reaction to our own cells and tissues that is seen in many of these conditions. Research studying the use of vitamin D in influenza and various respiratory tract infections, has also showed some promising results. It is now considered one of the top supplements to use during cold and flu season to ward off the offending viruses and bacterium. Vitamin D deficiencies have been associated with an increased risk of influenza, as well as the common cold. The fat soluble vitamin has been shown to dramatically stimulate the expression of potent anti-microbial peptides, which exist in neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells, and in epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract. These cells play a major role in protecting the lung from infection.
Vitamin D has heart protective effects, as well. It has been shown to lower high blood pressure and is useful in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D is also being used in the management of Type II diabetes, as it has been shown to be involved in insulin secretion and glucose tolerance. Many mental disorders are now being correlated with vitamin D deficiency and supplementation is proving beneficial for many individuals suffering from depression, schizophrenia, seasonal effective disorder, manic/bipolar disorder and autism.
