Digestive Enzymes are Vital to Overall Health
Healthy Digestion is a Key for Immune Health
Proper digestive function is critical to overall health and well-being. While the body manufactures a number of digestive enzymes, it also obtains them from foods such as papaya, pineapple, bananas and more. These enzymes enable the body to breakdown food, so nutrients can be released and absorbed. When the digestive system works properly, it acts as a barrier to bacteria and viruses, assists in removing wastes and toxins from the body and enables nutrients to be absorbed.
Signs of Insufficient Digestive Enzyme Activity
Research shows that as we grow older, the body’s ability to produce digestive enzymes decreases. Also, if you are stressed, you don’t produce enough digestive enzymes. If you eat on the run, you don’t produce enough. As a result, nutrients are not absorbed and bowel irregularities can occur. In today’s busy world, many of the foods being consumed are processed, loaded with additives and preservatives and chemically altered creating even more distress to the digestive system. Gas, bloating, reflux, constipation and/or diarrhea can be an indication of a decrease or lack of digestive enzyme activity. A number of different symptoms can be caused due to a lack of digestive enzymes and may be detrimental to your lifestyle.
What do Digestive Enzymes do?
Digestive Enzymes help breakdown food into small, absorbable molecules. If you don’t have enough digestive enzymes, when you eat your food, it won’t be absorbed and it’ll pass through without receiving any nutritional benefits. It may even inflame your gut. Even with the healthiest diet, adequate fiber intake and sufficient water, the body can still require digestive help. Adding our digestive supplement, Super Digestive Enzymes, before a meal helps optimize the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and protein which in turn, helps the body absorb the nutrients it needs to be vital and healthy. Get all the benefits from the food you are eating!

Boost Your Immunity with Natural Iodine from Sea Vegetables
Kelp and Dulse are two great options when it comes to natural iodine supplementation. Not only do you receive your daily requirement for iodine, you also benefit from the abundant, naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals found in these sea vegetables.
Because our bodies do not produce iodine on their own, it must be obtained through the diet. Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones and can be found in foods such as cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs, table salt, fish, dietary supplements and more. As people restrict their intake of many of these foods, a trend toward iodine deficiency develops. If we are not getting iodine from our food, it is best to find a daily supplement. Because most of the world’s natural iodine is concentrated in seawater, sea vegetables are an excellent natural option for supplementing your iodine needs.
Kelp, a large, leafy brown algae that belongs to the seaweed family, is a good source of marine minerals, including potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. It is also an excellent source of natural iodine which is necessary for healthy Thyroid function.
Dulse is a common red seaweed which is rich in trace elements and vitamins, particularly Vitamin A. It is a nutrient-rich source of protein, fiber, iron and Vitamins C, E and B complex.
Combine the two of these Sea Vegetables together and feel these three great benefits of natural iodine:
Improved Energy –
Kelp and Dulse are both packed with essential B-Vitamins. As with any plant, these seaweeds also contain Chlorophyll which helps to restore energy and vitality. They are an excellent source of iodine which is essential to Thyroid function. Your Thyroid gland is responsible for producing the hormones that are required for many functions in the body such as: supporting normal cellular metabolism, maintaining healthy cholesterol and balancing mood. These plants are also a rich source of minerals including manganese, potassium and iron, which aid in fighting fatigue.
Digestion –
High in fiber, Kelp and Dulse also supports the body’s digestive system. Seaweeds can balance colon and intestinal flora, which promotes good bacteria in the gut. Fiber and natural iodine found in seaweed are alkaline forming which also benefits digestive function. Once the body is digesting properly, the immune system can function more efficiently.
Immune Health –
Seaweeds, such as Kelp and Dulse, can contain as much as 10-20x the vitamin and mineral content of land plants. These bioavailable nutrients are easily absorbed which enables the body to better utilize them.
Containing concentrated amounts of iodine, sea vegetables are a natural way to support healthy thyroid function, enhance energy, balance digestion and boost the immune system. Supplement with Kelp-Dulse capsules and experience vitality from the sea.

What are others saying about this lotion?
“I bought Unscented Palma Christi Skin Lotion for my mother to help with dry skin. Not only did it help with that, but it helped with some redness she had on her face also!” – S.B., Louisville, KY

“Just had to tell you how GREAT that skin lotion is. Yes, it was good on my hands, but when I got home I put it on my itching legs and the itching stopped almost instantly. That’s a first as I have tried everything Marge brings into the house for skin care. Your lotion is #1!!!!!! Nothing else is even close. Many thanks!!! – W.G., West Chester, PA
“I ordered one of your products about two months ago, I think, and was very impressed with the Palma Christi lotion. I have psoriasis which is a fancy word for excessively dry skin – and have found that the lotion is wonderful for my condition. Fortunately, my psoriasis is mild and usually clears completely in the summer sun, but the Palma Christi lotion has almost taken its symptoms away without exposure to sun. I also appreciate that the pump in the bottle works all the way to the last bit of lotion in the bottle. (Most pump-action dispensers give out with 1/3 to 1/4 of the contents still trapped in the bottle.) You can be sure that I will replenish my supply of that lotion.” – N.L., Kentwood, MI
