Greenwood Health Natural Longevity Products :: Fiber-Klenz Plus
With Fiber-Klenz Plus, the name says it all! There is NO other product available that combines all of these powerful ingredients in one bottle. The Meeker Red Raspberry provides Fiber, Ellagitannins and Ellagic Acid.Ellagic Acid is a member of the ellagitannin family of compounds. Ellagic acid may be one the most potent ways to fight Cancer. Ellagic Acid is an ellagitannin found in red raspberries. Ellagic Acid, a phenolic compound, is a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, and anti-cancer initiator! Research conducted at the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) indicates that Ellagic Acid slows the growth of abnormal colon cells in humans, prevents the development of cells infected with human papilloma virus (HPV) which is linked to cervical cancer, and promotes apoptotic growth (natural death) of prostate cancer cells. The apoptotic process, triggered by this antioxidant also has beneficial effects on breast, lung, esophageal, and skin cancer (melanoma). Medical findings in Europe further show that ellagic acid reduces the incidence of birth defects, promotes wound healing, reduces and reverses chemically induced liver fibrosis, and is helpful in the fight against heart disease! How does it work? Ellagic Acid reduces the incidence of cancer! Ellagic acid acts as a scavenger to bind cancer-causing chemicals, making them inactive! It inhibits the ability of other chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. In addition, Ellagic Acid from red raspberries prevents binding of carcinogens to DNA, and reduces the incidence of cancer in cultured human cells exposed to carcinogens. Important note: The raspberry component accounts for a little over 25% of the total content of Fiber-Klenz Plus. This gives you approximately 5g of raspberry per daily dose or 150g per bottle. There are many products currently available that contain JUST the Meeker Raspberry seed, selling for around $30-$40 per bottle and they only contain 60g of the seed. This makes the Fiber-Klenz Plus a phenomenal value on just the Meeker Raspberry seed alone. The Muscadine Grape provides Fiber, Resveratrol and OPCAntioxidants have emerged as healthful compounds that reduce inflammation, provide protective benefits that inhibit the development of heart disease, inhibit cancerous growth and delay the development of neurodegenerative diseases. The phenolic compound Resveratrol is the antioxidant that has captured a lot of scientific attention lately. Highly publicized research showed that Resveratrol may be a useful chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic agent for cancer. Many other documented studies concluded that this phenolic compound reduced LDL cholesterol, inhibiting the development of heart disease. Recent studies have found muscadine grapes and their resulting products to contain more Resveratrol and other antioxidants than any other types of grapes. The Cranberry provides Fiber and other nutritional cofactorsCranberry fiber also contains tannins, condensed proanthocyanidins, unique to cranberries, possessing an Anti-Adherence Factor that inhibits the adhesion of undesirable bacteria to the urinary tract. The Blueberries provide fiber and other nutritional cofactorResearchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) have found that blueberries rank #1 in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful by-products of metabolism called "free radicals" that can lead to cancer and other age related diseases. Anthocyanin -- the pigment that makes the blueberries blue -- is thought to be responsible for this major health benefit. Blueberries may reduce the build up of so called "bad" cholesterol that contributes to cardiovascular disease and stroke, according to scientists at the University of California at Davis. The Inulin provides fiber and other nutritional cofactorsInulin is a major constituent of some of the most famous of the "old-standby" herbs, such as burdock root, dandelion root, elecampane root, chicory root, and the Chinese herb codonopsis. Botanically, inulin is a storage food in the plants of the Composite family. Inulin is recommended sometimes for diabetics; it has a mildly sweet taste, and is filling like starchy foods, but because it is not absorbed, it does not affect blood sugar levels. Despite the similarity of its name to insulin, inulin has no connection with that hormone either chemically or through physiological activity. Recent research has shown an important physiological action for inulin. Like some pectins and fructooligosaccharides, inulin is a preferred food for the lactobacilli in the intestine and can improve the balance of friendly bacteria in the bowel. The Oat Bran provides FiberOat bran is a rich source of nonirritating soluble dietary fiber. Oat Bran has also received considerable attention in the medical community for its role in helping reduce blood cholesterol. The Psyllium provides FiberPsyllium is a lubricating, fiber herb with drawing, cleansing and laxative properties. Acts as a "colon broom" for chronic constipation; effective for inflammatory diverticulitis; a lubricant for ulcerous intestinal tract tissue. The Apple Pectin provides FiberApple Pectin is a source of water soluble fiber which has a gel-forming effect when mixed with water. As a dietary fiber, Apple Pectin is helpful in maintaining good digestive health. Apple Pectin, in the diets of humans and lab animals, has been shown to increase the excretion of lipids, cholesterol and bile acids, and reduce serum cholesterol levels. Pectins operate by binding with bile acids, thereby decreasing cholesterol and fat absorption. Apple pectin also has been shown to help eliminate heavy metals from the body. The Bentonite Clay is a volcanic detoxifierBentonite clay, a medicinal powdered clay which is also known as montmorillonite, derives from deposits of weathered volcanic ash. It is one of the most effective natural intestinal detoxifying agents available and has been recognized as such for centuries by native peoples around the world. Whatever the name, bentonite clay contains minerals that, once inside the gastrointestinal tract, are able to absorb toxins and deliver mineral nutrients to an impressive degree. Bentonite clay is inert which means it passes through the body undigested.Technically, the clay first adsorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area where they adhere like flies to sticky paper; then it absorbs the toxins, taking them in the way a sponge mops up a kitchen counter mess. Once hydrated (combined with water), bentonite has an enormous surface area. When bentonite clay absorbs water and swells, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge; the toxins are drawn into these spaces by electrical attraction and bound fast. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (31 [1985], 50-53), bentonite can absorb pathogenic viruses, aflatoxin (a mold), and pesticides and herbicides including Paraquat and Roundup. The clay is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.
