One of the most common problems people ask me about is how
to relieve constipation.
It's not surprising--constipation affects more than 65
million people in America alone, and annual laxative sales
are over $1 billion. There are an estimated 700 or more
different varieties of OTC and prescription laxatives
available.
700?
So clearly there are a LOT of people having trouble when
Nature calls...or doesn't call.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), constipation is
having bowel movements fewer than three times per week and
having stools that are small, hard, dry and difficult to
pass.
The NIDDK also states that normal bowel habits vary from
person to person, and what is normal for one person may be
four times a week, and normal for another could be three
times a day.
That's true, but while moving your bowels four times a
week may be "normal" for some people, it's still not
healthy at all.
Because stools are loaded with toxins and harmful bacteria
and should be gotten rid of as quickly as possible. The
longer they stay a part of you, the greater the chance they
can lead to sickness and disease.
Now, constipation is not a condition itself, but rather a
symptom of something else going on in your body.
The most cited causes of constipation are:
- Eating an acid-forming diet (with little or no natural
water content or natural fiber)
- Certain medications (including antacids, narcotics,
diuretics and anti-inflammatories)
- Sedentary lifestyle/Lack of exercise
- Other medical conditions (such as IBS or stroke)
But there's another factor that's commonly overlooked, yet
it's probably the most important factor of all.
It's your intestinal bacteria.
You see, a primary cause of poor digestion and chronic
constipation is having an abundance of harmful bacteria in
your gut.
Sadly, most people are not aware of this.
And they won't hear it from their doctors--the role of
good and bad bacteria in the gut is not a hot topic in most
medical school curriculums.
It should be, but the major funder of medical research--
the pharmaceutical companies--want that to be kept hush-hush.
So people continue to be constipated even if they have
fiber in their diet, get regular exercise and have none of
the other common underlying factors I listed above.
And you know what that means for many?
Right...dependence on laxatives.
Regular laxative use often leads to a "lazy bowel" which
cannot function properly on its own, and which further
worsens constipation.
The good news is that it's very easy to reverse harmful
bacterial overgrowth and bring your intestinal flora
balance where it needs to be.
Super Shield medical-grade probiotic formula
was developed to address this issue directly.
Super Shield contains Bifidobacteria Infantis 35624,
Bifidobacteria Lactis BB-12 and Bifidobacteria Bifidum
Malyoth, all of which have been shown in numerous studies
to dramatically improve constipation.
You won't find all those superstrains in any other
probiotic. Maybe one. But no more than that. Because
other companies opt for the cheap, off the shelf, less
effective strains.
If that weren't enough, Super Shield also contains the
superstar bacteria Lactobacillus Casei Shirota.
First cultured by Dr. Minoru Shirota in 1930, L. casei
Shirota is one of the most studied probiotic strains in the
world. It helps replenish the levels of good bacteria in
your gut depleted by antibiotics, stress, natural aging,
and diet, and has been shown to greatly improve digestion
and regulate bowel movements.
Now THAT'S what a constipation sufferer wants to hear!
Don't suffer from constipation for one minute longer, or
think you need to live your life on laxatives and risk
getting a lazy bowel.
