Bloating is caused by a few biological factors, the retention of too much fluid causing swelling in the stomach, digestive disorders, undigested food causing swelling of the intestines, plumping up the tissues and hormonal changes.
Water retention: A combination of dandelion leaf, green tea and
asparagus root extract helps to eliminate retained water in the body while
preventing the depletion of the important electrolyte potassium, because
dandelion leaves naturally contain potassium to replace that lost through
urination. We have added to this botanical source, a natural nutritional
potassium supplement to enhance this protective effect.
Incomplete Digestion:Within five hours of eating, food should be processed and in the large intestine waiting to be excreted within 12-24 hours. However if you are not digesting food properly and this process slows down, food will ferment in the stomach and intestines and gas will form. You most likely lack digestive enzymes that help break down food in the stomach. Digestive enzymes are the key to efficient
metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Beat the Bloat™ contains natural
active enzymes to enhance your body's ability to digest these important
nutritional components of our food.
Sluggish digestion: Our botanical blend stimulates the digestive
tract to increase motility and eliminate the lingering feeling of fullness
that can be caused by slow digestion.
Poor intestinal health: Another key to proper digestion is maintaining
a healthy balance of microorganisms in our intestines, microorganisms
that enhance our bodies' handling of difficult to digest nutritional factors,
while suppressing the growth of pathogenic bacteria that produce toxins
in the gut and result in digestive discomfort, including bloat. Lack of good bacteria causes abdominal swelling. Beat the Bloat™ contains a 200 Billion CFU of Lactobacillus Acidophilus. Advanced extracts of the botanical ingredients peppermint and ginger, produced without the use of toxic solvents, stimulate the digestive tract to prevent stagnation of food in the stomach that can contribute to the feeling of bloating.
Hormonal Changes: When estrogen and progesterone fluctuate throughout the month it causes fluid retention. With premenstrual syndrome the hormonre progesterone is most likely the cause. One of many jobs of progesterone is to stimulate kidney function and fluid excretion in the body. Just prior to your period, progesteone levels fall and these functions slow down, meaning that you physically excrete fluid each day, but the fluid that is retained leaks from inside the cells through the capillary walls to the spaces around them causing puffiness. Beat the Bloat™ contains a powerful diuretic formula of Dandelion, Green Tea and Asparagus to effectively eliminate excess water.
