Read moreGrapefruit Seed Liquid Extract 30ml
Grapefruit seed extract is rich in nutrients and phytochemicals. It’s a great source of plant antioxidants; one of which includes hesperidin, a natural immune system supporter. Grapefruit seed extract also contains vitamin C, sterols, tocopherols, citric acid, limonoids, and trace minerals. The seed and pulp of the grapefruit are used for making GSE. This forms an acidic liquid, which is bitter to the taste. Chinese and Ayurvedic health practitioners consider that both acidic and bitter properties are important to the healing process.
Multiple studies have found grapefruit seed extract to support the body’s immune defences. Grapefruit seed extract is gentle enough to use as a wash for fruits and vegetables and can act as a water purification agent. Very few other natural substances can compare. -

The signs of these lesions are often silent in the first phases, so searching for occult blood in the stool is an important screening test, which allows to identify the presence of pathologies in the gastro-intestinal system at an early stage.

CELIAC DISEASE
Celiac Disease (CD), also known as “celiac sprue”, is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the small intestine, produced by the ingestion of dietary gluten products in susceptible people. It is a multifactorial disease, including genetic and environmental factors. Environmental trigger is represented by gluten while the genetic predisposition has been identified in the major histocompatibility complex region which causes the presence of specific antibodies against gluten and its components.
Celiac disease is not a rare disorder like previously thought, with a global prevalence around 1%. The reason of its under recognition is mainly referable to the fact that about half of affected people do not have the classic gastrointestinal symptoms, but they present nonspecific manifestations nutritional deficiency or have no symptoms at all.
