Directions 

FODMATE™ is an innovative enzyme formula designed for short-term use that can help support digestive health, including relief from occasional cramping, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation that may result from the consumption of high FODMAP foods.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. FODMAPs are fermentable fibers such as sugar alcohols and “short-chain” carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the digestive tract. The health benefits of consuming fermentable, prebiotic fibers are irrefutable. These fibers feed the microbiome and provide other documented health benefits. Yet, these fermentable fibers can be difficult to break down.

Thus, intake can lead to issues such as:

• Abdominal distention
• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Gas

A low FODMAP diet is intended as a short-term solution. People typically struggle with compliance on the very restrictive low FODMAP diet. It’s also confusing and frustrating. Plus, it comes with the threat of potentially starving the microbiome, as the diet is intentionally deprived of diverse fibers that feed the beneficial organisms in the gut. Thus, cutting out high FODMAP foods is not a practical and permanent solution.

Warnings: 

If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any kind of medication, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare practitioner before using this product. 
 
Do not exceed the recommended dose, unless advised by your healthcare practitioner.  

Not recommended for use by pregnant or lactating women, or by those taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO) medications.

Directions: 

Take 2 capsules with a meal.

Note: This enzyme blend is intended for short-term use while still consuming a diversified diet It is not intended to be used long-term but instead as part of a gut restoration program while a root cause resolution is being sought. As it is designed to break down fermentable (prebiotic) fibers. It should not be taken around the same timing of MegaPre by Microbiome Labs or other prebiotic formulas.

Iodoral provides Iodine as Iodine and Potassium Iodide.

Iodoral is a tablet form of Lugol solution. One 12.5 mg tablet of Iodoral® supplies an amount of total elemental iodine. The main function of iodine is in the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, other organs in the body have a need for iodine in order to function normally.

Several studies have demonstrated a need for iodine intake. The minimum amount of iodine determined in these studies is equivalent to 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day. For example, for a 50 kg woman, the daily amount of iodine would be 5 mg. The thyroid gland needs iodide to function properly.

Multi-nutrient complex providing tyrosine, iodine and selenium to support optimal thyroid function.

Formulated by naturopath Martin Budd ND, Thyro Complex provides a synergistic blend of nutrients and herbs that support the thyroid gland, providing the substrates and co-factor nutrients required by the body for optimal thyroid hormone production. The formula includes the amino acid L-tyrosine, an amino acid used as a building block to make thyroid hormones; iodine, a vital mineral which forms part of the hormones T3 and T4; and selenium, an important co-factor in the conversion of T4 to T3.

The formula also contains a wide range of other nutrients and botanicals, such as phenylalanine, l-carnitine, liquorice, B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C which are also helpful for supporting thyroid function. Thyro Complex can therefore be considered to provide broad nutritional support for this vital gland.
