MegaGuard
MegaGuard es una novedosa ayuda digestiva que combina polifenoles de regaliz, extracto purificador de hoja de alcachofa y jengibre calmante para promover una digestión normal, regular el ácido estomacal, mantener niveles saludables de H. pylori y reducir molestias digestivas ocasionales como gases e hinchazón. Con el poder de estas hierbas combinadas, MegaGuard proporciona un apoyo digestivo único y completo, regularidad intestinal y equilibrio gástrico.
- El regaliz (Glycyrrhiza glabra) tiene una larga historia de uso como apoyo digestivo. En la práctica ayurvédica y la medicina tradicional china, el regaliz es bien conocido por su capacidad para apoyar la mucosa gástrica. Uno de los compuestos más comúnmente conocidos en el regaliz es una saponina llamada glicirricina que se ha utilizado como emulsionante y edulcorante en la industria alimentaria. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los suplementos contienen regaliz deglicirricinado (DGL) porque grandes cantidades de glicirricina se han asociado con efectos secundarios adversos graves como presión arterial elevada y niveles reducidos de potasio. Los flavonoides de regaliz Gutgard son completamente diferentes del DGL con respecto a la química, composición, fabricación y mecanismos de acción. Mientras que un extracto clásico de DGL no contiene ninguna cantidad significativa de flavonoides, Gutgard está estandarizado para contener más del 10% de flavonoides totales y menos del 0,5% de glicirricina para evitar efectos indeseables. Se han identificado más de 50 flavonoides en Gutgard que han demostrado tener actividad beneficiosa para el apoyo digestivo. El regaliz Gutgard también puede aliviar la indigestión ocasional, la hinchazón y los gases a 150 mg/día.
- El extracto de hoja de alcachofa (Cynara scolymus) (ALE) también se ha utilizado tradicionalmente como ayuda digestiva. Los compuestos amargos, particularmente la cinaropricina, son responsables de los beneficios digestivos de la alcachofa. Se ha demostrado que el ALE apoya la producción de bilis, la función hepática saludable y los lípidos sanguíneos equilibrados. En 2003, investigadores alemanes demostraron que 640 mg/día de extracto de hoja de alcachofa mejoraron significativamente los problemas digestivos como la hinchazón ocasional y la sensación de saciedad. Aunque el estudio se realizó durante 6 semanas, la mayoría del grupo de estudio vio resultados en la primera semana.
- El jengibre (Zingiber officinalis) se ha utilizado como ayuda digestiva en la práctica oriental durante generaciones. Estudios han demostrado que el jengibre apoya el vaciamiento gástrico y puede aliviar episodios ocasionales de náuseas y vómitos. Los gingeroles y shogaoles, los compuestos polifenólicos activos en el jengibre, parecen ser responsables de tales efectos al inhibir débilmente los receptores colinérgicos M3 y serotoninérgicos 5-HT3. Los extractos de jengibre con un mayor contenido de gingerol (20-30% de gingeroles) son más fuertes y más efectivos para proporcionar apoyo digestivo. En 2015, un estudio italiano de 126 pacientes encontró que la combinación diaria de 40 mg de extractos de jengibre (25-30% de gingeroles) con 200 mg de extractos de hoja de alcachofa redujo la frecuencia de problemas digestivos ocasionales como náuseas, hinchazón, saciedad temprana y malestar abdominal un 17% más eficazmente que solo el extracto de hoja de alcachofa.16 Mientras que la mayoría de los extractos de jengibre solo contienen un 5% de gingeroles, MegaGuard contiene 60 mg de potente extracto de raíz de jengibre (20% de gingeroles) para una máxima potencia.

This is the combination my nutritionist approves
Outstanding product and ingredients for eye health with great results
Village Green staff is outstanding and helpful, Louis, Tatiana, Kirstie, & Kala above and beyond
I have used this for many years and like it a lot and will keep on using it
I've been using this for decades. Natural, minimal chemicals that retard the development of stink producing bacteria. Long-lasting on the skin, and months of use per item.
I was asked to write a review I don't know if what I have to say would help but here it is. I am 74 years old and have trusted Village Green for years. Trust is something you earn in my opinion, and they have fulfilled their side of each purchase with professionalism, and I fulfilled mine with loyalty.
Good product

Gives me my essential amino acids. I put it in my coffee
I found out about Jamaican Dogwood years ago from my herbalist Leslie Alexander, still practising in Erie Pa. It stops pain, doesn't bring me or down and If I need to sleep, it lets me. Great herb. Great price, Thank-you, Debb
Best establishment in the metro area! I have been using the Apothecary for almost 50 years years and now my family does as well. They all are knowledgeable, helpful and ready to answer any questions.
I’ve been depending on Jarrow’s Ideal Bowel Support and think it’s very helpful.
