FAQ's

Intestinal Health™ (Formerly Total Digestion™)

Q: Can children take Intestinal Health™?

Bio-Typed plant oils are extremely concentrated and are not recommended for children under the age of six. For children ages 6-12, one softgel a day is the suggested dosage. Please discuss use of any dietary supplement with your child’s healthcare practitioner.

Q: Can I take Intestinal Health each day?

Yes. Intestinal Health can be taken daily, or when needed for occasional digestive concerns.

Q: Should I use this product before or after meals?

Intestinal Health is best when taken with a meal.

Q: How are Bio-Typed Oils different?

Bio-Typed concentrated plant oils are laboratory tested to accurately identify elements of their natural chemical composition and are up to 100 times more concentrated than herbal extracts. These powerful plant oils can contain as many as 300 biochemically distinct molecules, each of which is active in the body. Unlike essential oils used for massage and aromatherapy, Bio-Typed plant oils are tested and “fingerprinted” based on specific molecular makeup, species, marker compounds, purity and safety for internal medicinal use. The concentration process is crucial in working with medicinal plant oils – several tons of plant material may be necessary to yield just one liter (33 oz.) of concentrated oil. The extraordinary potency of Bio-Typed plant oil allows for relatively low doses, but very powerful health benefits.

Coriander is one of the world’s oldest recognized spices. It was well-enough established in the Middle-East to have been mentioned in the Old Testament, and was grown in Ancient Greece and Rome. A very prolific plant, it has the distinction of being two herbs in one: the leaves used as Cilantro, and the seeds most commonly called “Coriander.”
