Digestic by Mimonis Review- A 100% Natural Herbal Remedy.




DIGESTIVE DETOX:
Non habit-forming Digestic relieves constipation and boosts overall digestive health naturally

It’s a topic that’s largely missing from the national health conversation.  But constipation can be just as uncomfortable and disruptive to daily life as more talked about issues like headaches, congestion and insomnia.  And it’s practically as common, as constipation affects over 80 million Americans.

Left untreated – or unsuccessfully treated – constipation can become chronic, magnifying the accompanying bloating, pain and generalized discomfort.  Enter Digestic, an all-natural herbal supplement formulated to ease digestion, regulate metabolism, relieve the symptoms of constipation, and most importantly help strengthen and support the digestive system.  Digestic’s proprietary formula is non-habit forming and uses five key all-natural, organic plants and herbs sourced from the globe’s finest purveyors.  These are carefully cultivated, then picked and processed at their peak to maximize their efficacy.

Digestic is manufactured by Mimonis, Inc., a Hackensack, New Jersey-based family-owned business dedicated to studying colon health and developing natural, alternative solutions.   The formula draws upon years of research, incorporating both modern science and ancient remedies that blend herbs and plants known to help digestion and detoxification.

“Digestic provides immediate relief from constipation, gas and bloating, but unlike a laxative, it is not just a Bandaid solution,” says Dr. Joe Raphael, an integrative lifestyle medicine specialist and consultant to Mimonis.  “It works to restore equilibrium to the intestinal eco-system, instead of merely cleaning it out.   As such, it is a powerful integrative lifestyle solution and an alternative to habit-forming laxatives and prescription medications.”

Following are the active ingredients featured in Digestic:



  • ·         PAPAYA is rich in vitamin A, C, E, and K, and a good fiber source. It is also filled with digestive enzymes that help break down waste and reduce inflammation.
  • ·         FENNEL is naturally high in fiber but also contains essential oils that help digestion, break down gastric juices and aid in the excretion of the stool.
  • ·         ALOE works as a lubricant to help stimulate bowel movements, and also fights free radicals, which cause inflammation.
  • ·         TREE WORMWOOD is a Mediterranean medicinal plant proven to relieve constipation, indigestion and related pain, heartburn and flatulence.
  • ·         CARDAMOM is rich in many vitamins, as well as manganese.  It has antioxidant properties that help promote digestive health.


Digestic is gluten-free, vegan, non GMO, certified kosher and uses only organic ingredients.  Users should begin by taking two capsules daily, with dinner.  If needed, dosage may be increased by adding two capsules before breakfast and or lunch. Daily dosage should not exceed six capsules.

My Thoughts:

I've always been intrigued by herbal remedies. Even in college, I've taken courses to see how they affect the human body. With detoxes becoming popular in the health and wellness world, I was interested in giving Digestic a try. After doing my research, I saw that there was nothing but herbs in the supplement. Some of the ones included I've even used before. My mom decided to try this detox with me as well. I was excited to have a girl's health pampering with her! 


The supplement arrived in an adorable bag with information pamphlets attached. My mom and I also made sure to read the back of the bottle as well to see the serving size and ingredients. We saw that the regular serving size was two. The amounts per serving size were: Fennel- 282 mg, Papaya- 235 mg, Tree Wormwood- 141 mg, Cardamom- 141 mg, and Aloe- 141 mg. After finishing up, mom and I decided it give it a try. 

I can honestly say her and I both felt a difference after our first dose of Digestic. It's recommended that people who do not have severe irregularity or negative digestive symptoms should start out slow. I decided to stick to one before moving on to two. After taking only one supplement, I actually felt my stomach muscles contracting. It was the oddest feeling, but it was also pretty cool!

There was a decrease in my normal bloating and I also felt lighter right away. I did not need to take Digestic every day to continue seeing a difference. If I did feel a little extra bloated, I only needed one to help with that. My mom needed to take a couple a day, but she was just as pleased with her results as I was. This was a wonderful cleanse for us!


What I love about Digestic is that there are no additives like many supplements on the market. The only other ingredient besides herbs is the veggie capsule the herbs are kept in, making this nonaddictive. They're soft and easy and swallow. What is also wonderful is that Digestic is non-GMO, organic, vegan, kosher and gluten free. From being able to do this test with my mom, I can say that it is important to start Digestic out slow, learning what works best for your body. I personally only needed one to see results, while my mom took the normal serving size. What works best for one may not work best for another, so take your time learning how much or how little works for you!

Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to do a safe cleanse and/or naturally help their digestive health.

BioTerra Herbs Review



 
Thanks to BioTerra, taking herbs just got a whole lot FUNNIER, a whole lot EASIER and overall BETTER FOR YOU to help your body's natural healing process! Now, go tell your readers all about it! 


With a wicked sense of humor and products like "AHH" (Detox), "SHUSH" (Snoring) and "Z-Z-Z" (Sleep), these side-splitting, cleverly-named line of ridiculously awesome herbs won't leave you guessing if you need a symptom that needs fixing. 


Have a digestion problems (too much BBQ over Labor Day?) Try "BELCH."  Stressed out (No more summer days at the beach?) A little "GAHH" will do the trick! Want some more energy and spring in your step (Perfect for back-to-school slumps)l? Use some "BOING."

Also, keep in mind that we work with HerbTheory, another herbal supplement brand, that has products that help address symptoms like weight management, menopause, detox and other women's/men's health issues. 

Our Thoughts

Any non-GMO supplement that helps with aiding in digesting food is a go-to in my book. I received a review of belch and gahh (for stress) and both work quite well. The belch is easy to remember to take, as it's just a few minutes after eating that you take them, so brush your teeth and take your supplement and you're good to go. I have noticed that if I eat foods that upset my tummy a bit that the belch supplement works pretty well to not make my stomach hurt.

In regards to the gahh supplement, with three kids, anything that can help zen me out is appreciated. What I've noticed with this product is that I do feel a bit more mellow. It's not a strong change from not taking it, but I can definitely tell that it helps a bit. Better than nothing I say and the more you use a natural supplement the more it's going to work so I am going to keep at it. Seeing how well these two work makes me curious as to how the others stand up to their unique names as well!

Norm's Farms Elderberry Extract Review



Norman Lenhardt

Our story begins with Norman Lenhardt, who had a vision for the world. He wanted to protect and preserve America’s farm lands while also ensuring that we would have enough food to feed the world. When Norm was not advocating for farm preservation, city planning, or wildlife protection, he spent his time on his 170-acre farm. Located in the Missouri river bottom of Hartsburg, MO, Norm’s Farm boasts some of the richest soil in the world. Today the farm is managed by Norm’s son, Rodger Lenhardt.  In honor of Norm’s dream for land preservation, the farm has been put in a trust.

Why Elderberry?

Norm’s Farms is at the forefront of one of the most sustainable and exciting new crops: Elderberry. This emerging superfruit is packed with Vitamins A, B and C , iron, potassium, and the powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins. The plants are a hardy perennial, and are naturally disease resistant. Surprisingly, only 10% of the elderberries consumed in the US are actually grown here; the other 90% are grown in Europe. We’re working to change that by selling plants and making value-added elderberry products.

Norm’s Farms Elderberry Extract is made from farm-fresh North American native elderberries (not from European concentrate). Our Extract formula is very simple…we use a gentle water process to extract the elderberry and remove the seeds before we bottle it.

Our Elderberry Extract tastes great, like a dry red wine: it’s not sweet, and it’s not bitter. You won’t find any added alcohol, sugars, artificial sweeteners or ingredients in our products. Elderberry contains higher levels of antioxidants than blueberry, sweet cherry, tart cherry, acai, noni, goji, pomegranate and cranberry juices.
Our Thoughts

I have elderberries growing wild all over my own property but I've always been a bit hesitant to try my hand at making my own concoctions. This seemed like a happy medium and I have never tasted elderberries before. The only bad thing I can say about this product is that you're in danger of drinking it all in one go. It is that good! The recommended dose for the extract is two tablespoons, but I could easily just drink the whole thing, it tasted just like a fruit juice.
Elderberries assist the immune system and this arrived just in time as I was battling a horrible tooth infection so perfect timing. I also had my husband take some as well to fight an infection in his leg from a nasty scrape. The bottle lasted about a week so I can see how that'd be a bit steep to restock but it's well worth it. Kids would easily take this and it's good for them, they would have no idea that it's a "medicine" which it's not technically except for nature's medicine.

I was blown away and really am excited to try more products from this company.
