How does DIGESTIVE REMEDY relieve gastric / digestive disorders?
Free radicals (smoking, excess alcohol consumption, unhealthy eating, emotional stress) play a prominent role in the development of digestive / gastric conditions as they cause damage to the lining of the stomach and duodenum tissue. The human stomach lining is extremely fragile and surprisingly thin which explains why our stomach is always the first organ to feel pain or unease.

 

• Carotenoids are powerful free radical scavengers that reduce oxidative damage.
• Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals (pine nuts are significantly richer in vitamin E than any other vegetable oil).
• Pinolenic acid is a unique fatty acid (found exclusively in pine nut oil) that works as a powerful anti-inflammatory protecting the delicate stomach and duodenum lining. Additionally, pinolenic acid stimulates the release of cholecystokinin (CCK), which is fundamental to digestion. Studies have proved that pinolenic acid, exclusively found in pine nut oil, increases the release of the digestive hormones (CCK by 60% and GLP1 by 25%) which:
  • increases absorption of essentials nutrients
  • increases insulin secretion
  • inhibits acid secretion

Why is cholecystokinin (CCK) so vital for digestion?
CCK is a major hormone that controls the function of the digestive system. CCK is located in the small intestine; its function is to identify fat in gastric juices and partly digested food (chyme) and to inform the stomach to slow down the speed of digestion so the small intestine can effectively digest the fats. It also stimulates the pancreas to release pancreatic digestive enzymes and the gallbladder to secrete and deliver bile to the intestine, which aids digestion and absorption of essential nutrients.

I have a digestive disorder despite following a healthy diet, how can DIGESTIVE REMEDY help me?
There are many factors which can cause digestive disorders with one of the biggest being STRESS. When a person is under stress, the body produces cortisol in reaction to its natural "fight or flight" reaction causing a sudden energy surge. When there is extreme stress and sleep deprivation (due to stress) the body automatically over-produces cortisol to counter these higher stress levels. Excessive cortisol hinders sleep patterns, digestion and metabolism problems causing stomach disorders, weight gain and sleep disorders.
DIGESTIVE REMEDY will heal the damage caused by stress and will increase digestion and metabolism, bringing the body back to a healthy, nourished and comfortable state with increased energy levels necessary for regular exercise, an important anti-stress factor. Exercise, stress management and regular sleep patterns are helpful when attempting to lower cortisol release.

Why is DIGESTIVE REMEDY expensive?
Specialty nuts are expensive and pine nuts are one of the most expensive nuts on the market as pine trees produce pine nuts after 25 years only. A handful of pine nuts from your local grocer / supermarket/ health store will cost just under R100 for 80g. The pine nuts are handpicked and the oil is cold pressed from the pine tree, Pinus Sibirica, this particular pine nut tree contains the highest content of pinolenic acid (pinolenic acid is only found in pine nuts).


Does DIGESTIVE REMEDY have any bad side effects?
DIGESTIVE REMEDY is a 100% natural food state, cold pressed from pine nuts. Unless you belong to the very small group of people who suffer from nut allergies the oil is a highly beneficial treatment and tonic.
 
Why is DIGESTIVE REMEDY a more beneficial alternative to antacids?
Conventional antacid treatment is expensive and the general prescribed dosage is a 14-day treatment. A 14-day treatment retails at approximately R275. Known long-term side effects of antacid treatments include osteoporosis, diarrhea, constipation and skin rashes. Additionally ongoing drugs that reduce the production of gastric acid cause the body’s inability to digest and absorb protein vitamins like vitamin B12. The lack of vitamin B12 leads to anemia, lack of energy, shortness of breath, bone brittleness and depression - all in all leads to the degeneration of ones health.
 
DIGESTIVE REMEDY on the contrary is 100% natural, it is safe to use and promotes the absorption of these essential nutrients required to obtain a healthy, stable digestive system and general well being.
 
Should I stop all my antacid treatment?
The feedback that we have received from numerous customers who have been on antacid treatments for lengthily periods (years!) have had such tremendous success with DIGESTIVE REMEDY that they do not feel the need to continue with their antacid medication. We recommend that you take DIGESTIVE REMEDY without using antacids however, please always consult your practitioner regarding any medical treatment or/and prescription.
 
I took DIGESTIVE REMEDY and experienced detoxification symptoms (slight nausea, mild headaches, fatigue), could I be allergic to the oil?
DIGESTIVE REMEDY is 100% natural and unless you are allergic to nuts the oil is safe to use. If you perhaps have detox symptoms this is simply because the oil is a powerful antioxidant and this is actually, albeit a bit uncomfortable, a positive response.  The process is called a “healing crisis” and is nature’s way of healing what is wrong in your body and eliminating toxins. You should drink lots of water and continue to take the oil, the feeling will pass in a few days.
 
I have been taking DIGESTIVE REMEDY for 1 week and I feel better, should I stop or just take 1 teaspoon a day?
If you are suffering with acute gastritis, ulcers, H.Pylori, acid reflux, severe bloating and gas continue the recommended dosage of 3 times per day for 6 weeks (2 bottles) – this dosage is highly beneficial for general health and in the long run will benefit your digestive system. The oil takes 1.5 months to “right the wrong”, so even if you feel better continue with the required dosage for that period. Thereafter, maintain your digestive system and general health by taking 1 teaspoon per day.
 
What does DIGESTIVE REMEDY taste like?
It is an oil with a woody pine nut taste. It is palatable and in the long run worth taking!
 
Can I take DIGESTIVE REMEDY if I do not have a gastric / stomach condition?
Yes, DIGESTIVE REMEDY is an all-round beneficial tonic, it increases absorption of nutrients as well as being a powerful antioxidant. The oil is packed with vitamins, A, B1, B2, B3, E, essential fatty acids – omega 3 and omega 6, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorous, iodine which will boost your energy levels and strengthen your immunity.
 
I suffer with flatulence will DIGESTIVE REMEDY help this?
Completely! Flatulence and gas can be very embarrassing and uncomfortable. DIGESTIVE REMEDY will sort this out and many customers noticed a remarkable change within a few days of taking the oil.
 
I either have diarrhea or constipation, my bowel movements are never regular, will DIGESTIVE REMEDY help?
Constipation is one of the most common causes of diarrhea, diarrhea caused by constipation is known as bypass diarrhea. DIGESTIVE REMEDY is not a laxative, it does however assist with constipation, stabilise the digestive system and therefore is effective with these conditions.

How do I store DIGESTIVE REMEDY?
