News About Ginger
Although well known as a pleasant tasting
cooking spice, it is not so widely known
that ginger has been used for thousands of
years, worldwide, for its numerous potent
healing benefits. Ginger is an especially
wonderful ally because its healing benefits
are particular to so many of our daily
health concerns. Probably best known as a
superb digestive aid and nausea reliever,
ginger also helps heal ulcers, supports
cardiovascular health, reduces pain and
inflammation, and speeds recovery from colds
and flu while reducing fevers. Additionally,
the National Cancer Institute has recently
identified ginger as one of the top ten
foods offering the highest levels of
anti-cancer activity. Most importantly,
ginger accomplishes all these without the
side effects associated with drugs.........

MegaFood's nutritional
philosophy is based on food. Delivering nutrients and
healthy digestion are vital to this mission. We
recognize the importance of healthy digestion for
optimal vitality. Two of the most important digestive
health supplements are probiotics and plant-based
enzymes.
Healthy digestion requires a
balance of quality food, enzymes and micro-flora (probiotics).
Digestion is often something we take for granted until a
problem arises. Cultivating and maintaining a balance of
beneficial micro-flora can be challenging with today's
lifestyles. Probiotic supplementation supplies the
beneficial flora which works with the body in digestive
processes, detoxification, elimination, nutrient
production and absorption.
Raw foods contain enzymes that are destroyed in cooking
and processing. Supplementation with plant based
digestive enzymes supports proper digestion and supplies
enzymes that are missing from the diet.
MegaFlora® is formulated to
repopulate and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria
in the small and large intestine. MegaFlora® contains
only naturally occurring non-competing flora in a
non-dairy, food base.
MegaFood Guarantees 20 billion viable cells, at the time
of manufacture, consisting of 14 different strains.
MegaFlora® supports the beneficial microflora of the
digestive system.

taste and instant results
Ginger offers numerous
health benefits that have been demonstrated both
historically and scientifically. Because ginger contains
180 times the protein digesting power of papaya, and
stimulates fat digesting bile as well as the growth of
healthy intestinal flora, ginger restores balance and
potentiates proper digestive function.* These benefits
contribute to ginger’s ability to enhance the
utilization of other dietary supplements. Additionally,
ginger contains at least 12 antioxidant compounds and
recent research in India, Denmark and Japan suggests
that ginger modulates prostaglandins thereby promoting
circulatory health and balancing the inflammatory
process.* Our ginger juice is a full spectrum, organic
extraction from ginger grown on our own farm in Costa
Rica.
Honey, one of nature’s
best energy foods with soothing properties, forms a
perfect combination with ginger. Our honey is low-heated
to optimize preservation, enzymes and flavor.
How to Use: Shake well.
For full benefits and a quick pick-me-up, take 1-2 tsps.
as often as desired. Use straight off the spoon, in iced
sparkling water to make ginger ale, or as a tea in hot
water.

many important functions in the body. It supports

of fat, controlling the metabolism of nutrients
(including alcohols) and serving as a reservoir for many
nutrients and metabolites. The liver’s involvement in
metabolic functions make it susceptible to stressors.

natural cleansing functions. Together, the ingredients
of Liver Cleanse have been formulated to provide
nutritional support to the liver and gallbladder,
