Restore Gut Health

[jacjc]

someone has recommended that I consider taking a product called Restore -

amazon.co.uk/Restore-Gut-He...

has anyone had any experience of this product?

[Gambit62 Administrator]

sorry, not had experience but it looks very expensive and the details don't really tell you what is in it. I'd personally be inclined to give it a really wide birth but then I'm quite a sceptical individual.

If you have PA then your main gut issues are likely to be down to low stomach acidity and I very much doubt the contents of the product would have any impact at all on that

I have problems with my gut, suffer with ibs, and take a PPI (0meprazole) for reflux,so can't absorb b12, but I did read that all these antibiotic drinks and yogurts don't have a lot in them, so t started taking lindens (amazon) probiotic caps high potency 6 billion cfu per caps, every day, and have to say after 2 months my gut and stomachs are feeling healthier,a much cheaper option than restore but depends on your income

Recommend it.good luck,with whatever route you choose to go.

Amazon should be shut down until they properly list ingredients of all food stuffs, supplements and medicines.

Thank you, iHerb, for showing that it can be done (even if they cannot spell antimony - but that is probably the seller's or maker's mistake originally):

Terrahydrite

(Stabilized Lignite Extract)

Other Ingredients

Purified water. (less than 1% of: chloride, sodium lithium, calcium phosphorus, sulfur bromide, potassium, iron, atimony, zinc, copper, gold, magnesium, alanine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, methionine, threonine, valine.)†

All of the earth-derived minerals listed above the present in only trace amounts, well below the established reference daily intake.

Quite what Terrahydrite is (other than a trademark), is more difficult. I found this as one claim:

Terrahydrite™ (aqueous humic substances derived from prehistoric, fossilized soil, mineral amino acid complexes, and purified water),

Elsewhere you can see that it is not a humic extract. Prepare for confusion and ignorance.

Until government's take control of Big Herbia and stops allowing these companies to sell any old crap as a herbal medicine it's best to avoid any of them.

Lignite is halfway between peat and coal. It is decayed plant material.

I'v been using Fushi probiotic (kept in the fridge) for a while now plus daily spoonfuls of Bional organic sauerkraut, the best remedy I've found for all gut and reflux problems.

You do need a good probiotic .Commercially ,Symprove is marvellous , but expensive Just as marvellous is home-made ORGANIC RAW SAUERKRAUT. ( recipes on internet) Do not cook it - eat it raw . I make it with organic red canbage .. You can buy organic raw sauerkraut in Good Health food shops , and in Amazon .It is the best probiotic and provides other nutrients apart from the probiotics !

Kimchi vegetables are also a great source of probiotics .
