may have typical symptoms which include postprandial (after eating) fullness, early satiation (fullness), and epigastric pain and burning. Other upper GI symptoms such as nausea, belching or abdominal bloating can often occur.[1]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003ePistacia lentiscus (Chios Mastiha Mastic)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastic gum has been used in traditional Greek medicine for over 2500 years for the relief of dyspepsia and mild stomach pain.[2] Many ancient Greek authors, including Dioscorides (the father of pharmacology) and Theophrastus, mention Chios mastic for its healing properties in the intestines, stomach and liver.[3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChios Mastiha Mastic belongs to the Pistacia lentiscus species, an evergreen shrub extensively spread through the Mediterranean region. P. lentiscus cv. Chia is exclusively cultivated with care and sustainable practices, in southern Chios (Mastichochoria), a Greek island.[4] Chios Mastiha Mastic is the high quality, natural and aromatic resinous excretion of the mastiha tree. This unique resin consists of an excellent variety of therapeutic and aromatic ingredients, such as terpenic acids (masticadienonic and isomasticadienonic acid), mastic oil, phytosterols, volatile ingredients, polyphenolic molecules, that constitute the essential oil, and a large number of other ingredients. This combination of more than 80 ingredients justifies the multiple uses of Chios Mastiha Mastic, in the food, health and personal care sectors.[5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChios Mastiha Mastic has Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in the European Union (EU), highlighting the unique quality, authenticity and traceability of this plant material.[6] In 2015, Chios Mastiha Mastic was assigned an EU herbal monograph of its own by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), as a traditional herbal medicine used in mild dyspeptic disorders.[4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheracurmin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin, the chief active constituent of turmeric (Curcuma longa), has demonstrated antioxidant activity and also helps to support healthy digestive system function and gallbladder contraction (flow of bile).[7-9] It is well known that gastrointestinal absorption of curcumin is poor. Patented manufacturing techniques have overcome this problem with Theracurmin, shown to have superior solubility and more rapid absorption due to the colloidal dispersion of curcumin. It reaches peak plasma levels within one hour of ingestion, and continues to be detected at significantly higher concentrations in plasma at 24 hours following a single dose. This is an indication that absorption may in fact occur extraintestinally.[8,10]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheracurmin features a reduced particle size of curcumin suspended in a natural matrix, dramatically increasing its solubility and absorption. Particle size is 0.19mcm, whereas regular curcumin is 22.75mcm.[10]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eUlmus rubra (slippery elm)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlippery elm has long been used in traditional western medicine for its demulcent effect on the GI tract.[11] The inner bark of slippery elm chiefly contains mucilage, which coats the surface of the mucous membranes with a gel-like layer, and may also exert mild local anti-inflammatory activity.[11] Based on traditional western herbal medicine usage as a soothing demulcent, slippery elm can help relieve symptoms associated with medically diagnosed mild gastritis and dyspepsia.[11]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarnings: BioCeuticals Intestamine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways read the label.

may have typical symptoms which include postprandial (after eating) fullness, early satiation (fullness), and epigastric pain and burning. Other upper GI symptoms such as nausea, belching or abdominal bloating can often occur.[1]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003ePistacia lentiscus (Chios Mastiha Mastic)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastic gum has been used in traditional Greek medicine for over 2500 years for the relief of dyspepsia and mild stomach pain.[2] Many ancient Greek authors, including Dioscorides (the father of pharmacology) and Theophrastus, mention Chios mastic for its healing properties in the intestines, stomach and liver.[3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChios Mastiha Mastic belongs to the Pistacia lentiscus species, an evergreen shrub extensively spread through the Mediterranean region. P. lentiscus cv. Chia is exclusively cultivated with care and sustainable practices, in southern Chios (Mastichochoria), a Greek island.[4] Chios Mastiha Mastic is the high quality, natural and aromatic resinous excretion of the mastiha tree. This unique resin consists of an excellent variety of therapeutic and aromatic ingredients, such as terpenic acids (masticadienonic and isomasticadienonic acid), mastic oil, phytosterols, volatile ingredients, polyphenolic molecules, that constitute the essential oil, and a large number of other ingredients. This combination of more than 80 ingredients justifies the multiple uses of Chios Mastiha Mastic, in the food, health and personal care sectors.[5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChios Mastiha Mastic has Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in the European Union (EU), highlighting the unique quality, authenticity and traceability of this plant material.[6] In 2015, Chios Mastiha Mastic was assigned an EU herbal monograph of its own by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), as a traditional herbal medicine used in mild dyspeptic disorders.[4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheracurmin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin, the chief active constituent of turmeric (Curcuma longa), has demonstrated antioxidant activity and also helps to support healthy digestive system function and gallbladder contraction (flow of bile).[7-9] It is well known that gastrointestinal absorption of curcumin is poor. Patented manufacturing techniques have overcome this problem with Theracurmin, shown to have superior solubility and more rapid absorption due to the colloidal dispersion of curcumin. It reaches peak plasma levels within one hour of ingestion, and continues to be detected at significantly higher concentrations in plasma at 24 hours following a single dose. This is an indication that absorption may in fact occur extraintestinally.[8,10]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheracurmin features a reduced particle size of curcumin suspended in a natural matrix, dramatically increasing its solubility and absorption. Particle size is 0.19mcm, whereas regular curcumin is 22.75mcm.[10]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eUlmus rubra (slippery elm)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlippery elm has long been used in traditional western medicine for its demulcent effect on the GI tract.[11] The inner bark of slippery elm chiefly contains mucilage, which coats the surface of the mucous membranes with a gel-like layer, and may also exert mild local anti-inflammatory activity.[11] Based on traditional western herbal medicine usage as a soothing demulcent, slippery elm can help relieve symptoms associated with medically diagnosed mild gastritis and dyspepsia.[11]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarnings: BioCeuticals Intestamine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways read the label.
