According to a recent survey of 500 people, one in ten Britons suffers from heartburn, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea or abdominal pains almost every day. Lamberts has developed a range of supplements designed to support the different parts of the digestive system and allow them to cope with the enormous variations in dietry composition as well as periods of disruption caused by lifestyle changes, illness and the process of aging.

8399 Peppermint Oil 50mg

Peppermint has a long tradition of use as a digestive aid and is especially effective in calming the intestinal muscle spasm that causes abdominal pain. The volatile oils contained in peppermint, particularly menthol, are the key active ingredients although the other constituents may also contribute to the plant's therapeutic effects. Lamberts Peppermint Oil capsules contain 50mg of pure natural peppermint oil, distilled from the leaves of the plant.

8558 Ibisene high potency artichoke extract

Artichoke is particularly helpful where people have long term problems trying to maintain bowel regularity i.e. where there is a stubborn problem that is ongoing for more than one or two weeks. Artichoke stimulates peristalsis in the lower gut that helps to 'get things moving again' and it can work well when taken in conjuction with Eliminex. It is the leaves of the artichoke plant that contain the active compounds, the most important one being cynarin. Each tablet of Ibesene contains a full 16mg cynarin which is the level generally used in scientific investigations of note.

8410 Digestizyme, includes lipase, amylase and protease

Improving the digestive process by supplementing with plant sourced enzymes can be especially helpful to those with disordered digestion, otherwise known as indigestion or dispepsia. Digestizyme provides a broad spectrum of plant sourced enzymes, which digest protein, fat and carbohydrates. We have chosen enzymes that are largely resistant to degradation caused by the highly acidic conditions in the stomach so that they may reach the small intestine where most digestion takes place.

8571 Turmeric 10,000mg, providing 95% curcumin

Positive results have been shown by researchers in a recent trial using as little as two to three grammes of turmeric extract daily to help prevent the frequent/looser motions and flatulence-type symptons of irritable bowel. In a relatively short time, long standing sufferers saw some remarkable effects on the symptoms that had plagued some of them for more than ten years. Lamberts Turmeric extract is a high potency root extract standardised to provide 95% curcumin, which is the level generally used in studies. Each tablet contains 500mg turmeric root extract, which is equivalent to 10,000mg of turmeric spice, making Lamberts one of the strongest products in the UK.

8583 Liquid Aloe Vera Concentrate, Natural pineapple and papaya flavour

Practitioners most frequently recommend aloe vera juice for disordered digestion. This is a vague term used to describe a range of symptoms including bloating, nausea, wind and abdominal cramps that can occur following eating, and is commonly known as indigestion or dyspepsia. We are delighted to bring you a true practitioner strength product. We've concentrated the natural aloe vera so much that our juice is an amazing ten times stringer than most of the aloe vera juices on sale in the High Street. This means that a 5ml teaspoon of our ten times concentrate is equivalent to 50ml of most other juice brands.

8381 Eliminex� (Fructo-oligosaccharides)

Eliminex� consists of a special kind of pure soluble fibre called fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) which helps carry moisture through the digestive system. This helps to keep waste soft and bulky, thereby encouraging waste matter to move through the system faster and helping to ensure more regular movements.

FOS also encourages the growth of beneficial or 'friendly' bacteria in the large bowel (colon). Indeed a recent study has shown that just 8g of FOS daily for 2 weeks leads to a 10-fold increase in beneficial bacteria in the gut. This is termed a prebiotic effect and it can offer health benefits to people who have unbalanced diets or disrupted bowel patterns. As the beneficial bacteria are encouraged, the harmful pathogenic bacteria and yeasts are suppressed, so fewer toxins are produced.

The active ingredients of Eliminex� are derived from chicory root and unlike many other bowel health products on the market, it is suitable for long-term use.

8417 Acidophilus Extra 4 (4 billion friendly bacteria per capsule)

This is a milk free acidophilus product containing 4 billion bacteria per capsule at the time of manufacture. Two types of beneficial bacteria are included; Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidus. The presence of these in the colon of healthy people helps maintain a natural balance between friendly and unfriendly bacteria. The product contains an acid-stable polysaccharide which helps to protect the bacteria from stomach acid.

8418 Acidophilus Extra 10 (10 billion friendly bacteria per capsule)

Probably the UK’s most potent probiotic, each gelatin-free capsule of Lamberts� Acidophilus Extra 10 contains 10 billion friendly bacteria, which is the same level of live bacteria found in 20 full pots of a leading supermarket brand of bio-yoghurt!

We use the beneficial Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 and Bifidobacterium Bb12 strains of bacteria (the most popular strains used in clinical studies). The bacteria are freeze dried with an acid stable polysaccharide matrix that helps protect them from stomach acid by up to 50 times!
