GASTRICARE 90 TABLETS ® Nature's Balanced Digestion Aid Formula (90) 515mg tablets Price: $16.95

GastriCare contains two minerals from shells traditionally used for their digestive properties. One is purified conch shell ashes of silicate magnesium, and the other is the shell of Cyprea moneta, a marine species whose ashes contain various salts – phosphate, carbonate and fluoride – of calcium, sodium, magnesium and manganese. The various individual ingredients act synergistically to support the gastrointestinal function through a combination of mechanisms, such as defoaming action, a reduction in surface tension and as a carminative. It is an effective antiflatulent that alleviates bloating and relieves upset stomach and occasional heartburn and acidity. GastriCare ensures that the digestive process efficiently converts ingested food into final products with a perfect balance of all factors involved.



Take 1 or 2 tablets before meals or whenever needed.

The use of natural products provides progressive but long-lasting results.

All cases showed considerable improvement with 70% getting complete comfort with absolutely no side effects recorded.

Key ingredient of: GastriCare

Black Pepper is one of the most renowned culinary spices and has been used for centuries as a gastro-intestinal stimulant as much as it has been used as a condiment to improve the flavor of food. As a carminative, many have utilized Black Pepper to reduce occasional flatulence. Black Pepper contains the alkaloid Piperine, which has been linked to increasing the body's ability to absorb nutrients contained in food and aid in the digestive process.

Ginger is the delicious common spice used traditionally to improve digestion and prevent nausea. These properties result from helping bowel movements and relaxing the muscles controlling the digestive system. Ginger is considered an adjuvant in many Ayurvedic formulas that enhance absorption and prevent gastrointestinal side effects.

A cornerstone of Ayurvedic health, Triphala is a traditional combination of three myrobalan fruits: Amla, Haritaki and Vibhitaki. It rejuvenates the membrane lining of the digestive tract and contributes to effective cleansing of the colon, a key condition in Ayurveda to maintaining optimum health.

Also known as Indian Gooseberry or Amalaki, it has one of the highest concentrations of natural Vitamin C of any edible plant. It is an essential component of Chyavanprash, a rejuvenative tonic, and of Triphala, a digestive formula. Not surprisingly, Amla's reputation is supported by scientific studies showing it boosts immunity.

Haritaki or Chebulic myrobalam Haritaki is a safe and effective purgative, expectorant and tonic. It is a component of the classic Ayurvedic combination called 'Triphala' or 'three fruits' (see also Amalaki and Vibhitaki.) The use of Triphala is at the heart of Ayurvedic medicine, which often promotes health through successive steps of purification and tonification. In Sanskrit, Haritaki literally means 'carries away' (all diseases.) It is known to have strong anti-mutagenic activity.

Vibhitaki, also spelled Bibhitaki, is one of the three constituents of Triphala. It is a very common and effective support of the liver function (it's a cleansing herb for detoxification.) Vibhitaki also supports the gastrointestinal tract through its effect on the membrane linings. Studies have also shown Vibhitaki helps with vision and has expectorant properties.

False Black Pepper has been traditionally used to help maintain healthy skin and to support the digestive function as a mild laxative.
