Bowtrol is specially formulated to suit the needs of IBS patients
suffering from either constipation or loose stools. The products
are available separately, such that depending on the symptoms you
experience, they can be easily combined to effectively alleviate
your IBS.
If your IBS symptoms are mainly combined with constipation, then
the recommended treatment is a combination of Lactospore Probiotic
& Colon and Parasite Cleanser. If on the other hand your IBS
symptoms are paired with a very loose stool, you will benefit from
a treatment program consisting of Lactospore Probiotic & Colon
Control.
The separate products that together make up the Bowtrol treatment
program have been carefully designed to minimize your symptoms and
distress. Below you will find information on the role each one of
the ingredients plays in fighting your irritable bowel syndrome.
Colon
and Parasite Cleanser
Cascara Sagrada: Cascara Sagrada is
considered a very mild and effective natural, herbal laxative. It does
not cause any dependency so when discontinued the positive effects derived
from its use will remain, without the need to continue usage to get the
same results. It is derived from bark and is native to the North American
continent. It readily grows in the region from British Columbia to Washington
state. The bark is collected in early spring and summer, when it is easily
peeled from the wood. It is then dried in the shade and aged for at least
a year before it is processed for medicinal use.
Cascara Sagrada facilitates evacuation and normal stool function while
conditioning the muscles in the intestinal tract. It promotes proper hormone
levels controlled by the pituitary and also has a positive effect on the
gallbladder, liver and the pancreas.
Many pharmaceutical laxatives are habit forming, Cascara Sagrada is not,
and for that reason alone
it is preferred over synthetic over the counter medications
that can only irritate and worsen IBS related symptoms. Because it also
strengthens and tones the bowels it helps restore normal function, which
is not lost when usage is discontinued.
Turkey Rhubarb: Turkey Rhubarb has powerful properties as an intestinal
cleanser. This herb considerably reduces constipation and small dosages
have been safely used for hundreds of years to assist in digestion. Turkey
Rhubarb cleans the colon and intestinal lymph system, removing accumulated
waste and decaying fecal matter as well as congested mucous. When lymph
congestion is resolved patients experience better circulation in their
legs and reduced bloating due to water retention. It then automatically
helps to reduce cellulite formation, varicose veins and any other problems
caused by poor leg circulation.
Turkey Rhubarb improves your own body’s ability to eliminate toxins.
Over 80% of the toxins in your body come through the intestinal tract,
if you are not able to remove them properly they build up and can cause
a multitude of problems, some of which can be symptoms associated with
IBS, such as bloating, gas, constipation and cramps.
Bentonite Clay: Bentonite is a clay that can safely be ingested.
It absorbs water to form a gel and thereby works as a mild laxative and
regulatory agent. The absorbing water bentonite essentially ‘traps’
toxins into the gel it forms and helps to carry them out of your body
without giving the body the chance to absorb these potentially harmful
substances. When using bentonite it is advised to try and ingest more
fluids to compensate for some of the water that is absorbed by this ingredient.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra): Slippery Elm is considered a digestive
soother and detoxifier. It calms irritated mucus membranes, the stomach
and intestines. Slippery elm coats inflamed surfaces and soothes irritated
tissues, helping to protect them from injury and drawing out irritants
and toxic substances. It has also shown to soothe inflammation by stimulating
nerve endings in the stomach and intestines which in turn, results in
the secretion of mucosal fluids. Slippery elm absorbs toxins from the
bowels and thereby balances the intestinal flora while reducing constipation.
Aloes: Aloe has been known to contain healing properties for thousands
of years, even the ancient Egyptians used it frequently and called it
“the plant of immortality”. Aloe originally was native to
the African continent. It found it’s way to North America and can
now be found growing ‘natively’ in warm climates including
the desert southwest of the U.S. and Mexico. It has been used for medicinal
purposes to treat a great variety of problems; most commonly skin related
disorders or wounds. However Aloe also relieves IBS and reduces diarrhea.
Aloe also naturally increases your energy levels.
Flax Seeds: Flax seeds are known to promote good health; aside
from it being good for your heart it also promotes a healthy digestive
system. Flax seeds also control and relieve constipation.
Senna: Senna contains compounds called hydroxyanthracene glycosides,
which are also known as sennosides. These stimulate the colon by increasing
smooth muscle contractions and thereby aid in the regulation of your bowels,
as such they have a laxative effect. Senna also stimulates more fluid
secretion by the colon which softens the stool and thereby facilitates
its passage, which in turn allows you to become more regular.
Wormseed: Wormseed detoxifies the intestinal tract and kills any
parasites that are present without eliminating the bacterial flora that
is actually beneficial to your digestion
It also helps in the regulation of bowel movements, effectively preventing
both constipation and diarrhea.
Black Seeds: Black seeds contain a high concentration of dietary
fiber and have been widely used in the treatment of IBS. It also works
with the other ingredients to remove toxins from the digestive system
and effectively regulate normal bowel movements.
Olive Leaf Extract: Olive leaf extract combats inflammation and
irritation in the intestinal tract and stomach. It has a soothing effect
and regulates bowel movements while eliminating toxins from the body.
The active ingredient contained in olive leaf extract is called oleuropein.
It is found throughout the olive tree, however is concentrated in the
leafs. It has a very strong antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic
effect and thus helps to calm your IBS symptoms.

agent, and an effective antibiotic. It has a calming and healing effect
in IBS patients and relieves symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea.
Garlic Extract 12:1: Garlic is a natural antibiotic and Garlic
Extract protects against protect against bacterial and fungal infections,
which are often prevalent in the fragile digestive system of IBS patients.
It aids in the regulation of the intestines by promoting better flora
and optimal health. Certified Organic Cloves: Certified organic
cloves eliminate parasites from the digestive system, regulate smooth
muscle function and breaks up bowel obstruction. This herb also promotes
cleansing to optimize bowel function. Peppermint (Piperita menthe):
Mint plants have a long history of medicinal use, dating to ancient Egypt,
Greece, and Rome. It is a stimulant, and helps digestive system disorders
by stimulating the production of bile, an essential digestive fluid, which
helps in soothing the lining of the digestive tract. It also relieves
flatulence, strengthens and soothes the bowels and helps with cramping.
Researchers have found that the clinical effectiveness of peppermint oil
in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome results from its relaxing
properties in the intestinal smooth muscle; causing the intestines to
contract less and therefore lessen symptoms by promoting normal instead
of hyperactive muscle contractions. The pharmacological effects of peppermint
and peppermint oil are useful in a number of clinical situation; the most
notable include irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal colic, gallstones,
musculoskeletal pain, and the common cold. It is an anti-diarrheal agent,
a vermifuge (a substance that works well against worms) working especially
well against hookworms.
Lactospore is an intestinal Probiotic enhancer designed
to improve gastrointestinal function and intestinal good bacterial microbial
balance. Lactospore increases enzymes for improved digestion, inhibits
the growth of pathogenic bacteria, yeast and parasite and enhances the
bioavailability of nutrients from the food. Unlike many probiotics, Lactospore
does not cause gas or bloating.
Unlike most probiotics, Lactospore does not require refrigeration to maintain
optimum potency. Lactospore is made with an outer layer to protect against
environmental changes.
Lactospore contains 9 billion organisms per gram of Lactobacillus sporogenes
culture. Lactospore is 100% vegetarian and contains no added excipients
or fillers. Contains no diary, wheat, yeast, corn, sugar, starch, soy
or preservatives.
Lactospore grow in the small intestine
where they add beneficial lactic acid to our digestive tract which helps
to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria present in our intestines. This
reduces the symptoms caused by the presence of harmful organisms, such
as diarrhea and constipation, fermentation, gas and dyspepsia.
Lactospore is a completely natural probiotic enhancer and improves your
intestinal function be promoting the balance of beneficial bacterial flora.
Lactospore also introduces enzymes that aid in digestion and inhibits
parasite growth. It is however a unique probiotic as it goes not cause
any bloating or gas. Clinical studies have revealed that L. sporogenes
can be successfully implanted in the intestine. L. sporogenes satisfies
the essential requirements of an efficient probiotic. Preparations of
L. sporogenes in pharmaceutical dosage forms such as tablets, capsules,
dried granules or powder have the following characteristics:
Contain a large number of viable lactobacilli that retain viability during
preparation in pharmaceutical dosage forms and during storage before consumption.
The spores are thermostable as against viable L. acidophilus cells which
may not withstand lyophilization.
Survive in gastric secretions and bile of the upper digestive tract and
reach the intestine safely.
Settle in the digestive tract and produce enough lactic acid and other
antagonistic substances to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
Being sporulated, they germinate under favorable conditions and produce
sufficient viable cells which proliferate and perform vital healthful
functions as described earlier. In addition, L. sporogenes spores are
semi-resident and are slowly excreted out of the body (7 days after discontinuation
of administration).
L. sporogenes is effective in the form of dietary supplements as well
as when added to food products. Natto is a traditional fermented product
from soya bean, consumed widely in Japan as a rich source of protein.
Its flavor is improved by the incorporation of lactic acid bacteria such
as L. sporogenes, L. acidophilus or Pediococcus acidilactiti to the starter
culture (Bacillus natto), to yield a product called yogurunatto having
superior flavor and storage characteristics as well as improved nutritional
and therapeutic properties. A nutritive medium (homogenized mushroom,
Lentinus edodus) is mixed with soya beans and fermented to yield this
health food product. The requirement of availability of a number of viable
lactic acid bacteria is fulfilled by using L. sporogenes.
Colon
Control
Activated Charcoal:
Activated charcoal has the ability to efficiently bind toxins present
in your intestinal tract. Once these toxins are bound they can no longer
be absorbed by your body and will harmlessly pass through your digestive
system until they are excreted in the stools.
Bentonite Clay: Bentonite is a clay that can safely be ingested.
It absorbs water to form a gel and thereby works as a mild laxative and
regulatory agent. The absorbing water bentonite essentially ‘traps’
toxins into the gel it forms and helps to carry them out of your body
without giving the body the chance to absorb these potentially harmful
substances. When using bentonite it is advised to try and ingest more
fluids to compensate for some of the water that is absorbed by this ingredient.
