This probiotic contains a commonly occuring strain of beneficial bacteria called 'lactobacillus sporogenes'. These friendly bacteria encourage good digestion, help regulate bowel movements, boost the immune system and increase resistance to
infection. Stress, poor diets and modern food production techniques can decrease the numbers of these positive bacteria. The result of the lack of these bacteria can be very damaging, causing diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and other awful gastrointestinal
problems.

Studies link foods rich in polyphenols with a healthy heart. As such, regular consumption of red wine (a good source of polyphenols) has been partly attributed to the good cardiovascular health of the Mediterranean people. Polyphenols (found in the skin and seeds of grapes) have strong antioxidant action, helping protect blood vessels and maintain good
circulation. Each capsule provides 95mg total polyphenols equivalent to 110ml or one small glass of red
wine. Did you know? Red wine contains more polyphenols than white wine because white wine requires the removal of the skins after the grapes are
crushed.

Pine Bark Extract is a super antioxidant made from the bark of a French pine tree. As well as being able to fight free radicals Pine Bark Extract has shown to be beneficial in maintaining good circulation, a healthy skin structure and for those that suffer from
hayfever. Research carried out at the University of California last year found that Pine Bark Extract can slow down photo ageing (sun damage) to skin by up to 50%. The research confirmed that Pine Bark Extract maintains the skin's healthy structure for longer by binding with collagen and elastin to prevent them from being broken down, while destroying the free radicals that try to attack the skin's
structure.

This herb can help to alleviate hot flushes and night sweats, as well as support cardiovascular health and general well-being. Studies have shown that isoflavones found in red clover help to naturally re-balance hormones and can therefore help the body to stay healthy during and after the menopause. By helping the body to re-balance oestrogen, Red Clover Extract has also been shown in research to improve cardiovascular functions in menopausal women.

This probiotic has been carefully selected as it survives longer in the gut than other strains
available. Restore forms the second part of the Healthy Direct 30-Day Detox Plan.

This traditional herbal remedy is used the world over to help combat fatigue, stress and depression. The Russians have been aware of its benefits for decades! Their impressive athletic ability is even thought to be partially due to Rhodiola supplementation: its active ingredients helping them adapt to stresses and strains during
competition. Rhodiola Rosea is a plant native to the mountainous regions of Asia and parts of Europe and even the Arctic. Traditionally used to restore energy, it is now mainly used to help with depression (caused by a lack of serotonin in the brain). Rhodiola works by improving the transfer of serotonin through the blood-brain barrier. As an ‘adaptogenic’, it also helps the body deal with various mental and physical
stresses.

This super-food is loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals and amino acids to help improve your immunity. It is produced by worker bees to keep the queen bee well-nourished and fertile. The worker bees ingest the pollen and nectar and secrete the Royal Jelly from special glands in their heads – sort of a honeybee ‘milk’.
It is the rich diet of nothing but Royal Jelly that helps the queen bee live for more than 5-7 years and lay more then her weight of eggs daily. By contrast, the worker bees live for only 7-8 weeks and remain 40-60% smaller and lighter than the queen
bee.

Distinctively fragrant and silvery green in colour, the Sage plant is most commonly found in the area around the Mediterranean, in regions of North America and in many great British recipes. The benefits of Sage are not just culinary though; It is thought that Sage helps the body adapt to the hormonal changes involved in menopause and is particularly useful in helping to reduce hot flushes/night
sweats. The leaves of the herb have traditionally been used for sprains, swellings, ulcers and bleeding and the herb’s generic name – ‘Salvia’ – bares testament to its perceived medicinal value (Salvia means ‘to heal’ in Latin).
