A probiotic replaces the good bacteria in the GI, repopulating the stomach, intestines, and colon with the little workers that properly break down the food you eat. Many of us require a constant influx of good bacteria to combat yeast or to constantly flush intestines in a cleanse state with good bacteria. Ultimate Defense is Beeyoutiful's finest probiotic, designed with embedded predigested food sources for the bacteria. It also contains soil-based organisms that do not necessarily colonize the GI, but help greatly in their passage through. Ultimate Defense is specifically designed to establish complete, lasting colonies of intestinal flora in a world that sterilizes, processes and denaturalizes all food sources.
Ultimate Defense is a combination of 13 different bacteria, fermented greens to feed them as colonies get established and soil based organisms to potentiate the bacterial activity in the intestines. A healthy GI bacterial flora is thought to improve overall health and immune system function.

Red Raspberry Leaves
For centuries, midwives have recommended red raspberry leaf tea to strengthen pelvic and uterine muscles. It's their secret for making labor and delivery more efficient and less stressful.
Now, Beeyoutiful's Red Raspberry Leaves offers all the same benefits in convenient capsules to help you feel better throughout pregnancy. And it's the only capsule form of red raspberry leaf we know of that's formulated entirely from organic components.
Red raspberry leaf is known to tone the uterus, provide an easy-to-assimilate form of calcium, improve the productivity of labor contractions, decrease anxiety and nervousness, enhance sleep, and reduce constipation.
The effectiveness of the red raspberry leaf is not limited to women who are pregnant or delivering babies. It is also great for young girls who need calcium and hormone support as their bodies change rapidly, or women who have hormone imbalances, especially during menopause and after. And at any stage, it can be used for improving the tone of the reproductive system, to support normal hormone levels or just as a good source for bio-available calcium. The natural calcium content makes Red Raspberry Leaves a valuable supplement for all women who want to combat osteoporosis.
There is no known overuse of Red Raspberry Leaves, and a healthful program includes taking at least four capsules every day. If difficulty sleeping is one of your problems, using more capsules later in the day may help.
Important: While most obstetric health professionals agree red raspberry leaf is beneficial in all stages of pregnancy -- some even believe it reduces the likelihood of miscarriage -- it is best to consult your own midwife, herbalist, physician, or other health professional before using Red Raspberry Leaves if you're pregnant or nursing.

Relief is just around the bend...
If your knees, hips, or other joints are starting to feel a bit of age, you can lessen the pain and increase mobility by taking Beeyoutiful’s vegetarian capsules of Glucosamine with MSM.
Glucosamine is a simple molecule of glucose and glutamine—an amino acid—which contributes to making cartilage, the shock-absorbing gel in joints. As we age (and if we eat a lot of processed foods), our bodies slow down the production of this important substance, resulting in joint soreness.
While commonly prescribed pain killers such as ibuprofen and specific arthritis pain inhibitors can mask the ache of joints rubbing together, they don’t promote healing and can have unwanted side effects, especially with regular use. On the other hand, glucosamine relieves discomfort while it helps to restore—by building, repairing, and maintaining cartilage, tendons and other connective tissues in the body.
For even more significant relief, Beeyoutiful’s supplement adds MSM, a natural sulfur compound, to aid in pain reduction. MSM blocks the transmission of pain signal impulses in nerve fibers, and it alters cross-linked collagen, resulting in less scar tissue and diminished degeneration of the joints. While sulfur is a critical component in maintaining normal bodily functions, most Americans are somewhat deficient in it.
Most supplements of glucosamine are made from shellfish—which can be bad news for folks with seafood allergies. But Beeyoutiful’s is made from fermented, non-genetically modified corn, and it provides superior performance.
No matter what glucosamine supplement you take, make sure it uses Glucosamine Hydrochloride instead of Glucosamine Sulfate. REGENASURE® Glucosamine HCl—the type in Beeyoutiful’s version—contains less salt than some formulations since a number of manufacturers add salt in the form of sodium sulfate or potassium sulfate. That means 83% of Glucosamine HCl is actual glucosamine, compared to only 65% in Glucosamine Sulfate.
For best results, glucosamine should be taken for a longer period of time, not for a “quick fix.” Studies indicate a cumulative effectiveness over a 30-day period. Generally, taking glucosamine does not offer instant relief like that from prescription pain killers because the restorative properties of glucosamine must be given time to work. While each person’s response to supplements is different, it has been shown that 12 weeks of 1000 mg./day of glucosamine can result in joint pain improvement lasting from 6 to 12 weeks, even if glucosamine is discontinued. Such a regimen is viable because glucosamine is considered safe for long-term use.

Never fear the flu
Never fear the flu when you keep Berry Well on hand. Each ingredient in this pleasantly fruity syrup holds its own against flu, colds, and a swarm of bacterial and viral infections. This organic Elderberry Syrup contains Propolis, Raw Honey, and Echinacea.
Berry Well is a practically miraculous combination of the following:
Luscious, organic purple elderberries (first used long ago by Native Americans) that provide anthocyanins. The anti-viral powers of these immune system enhancers attack many strains of influenza A and B -- without the side effects or complications of a flu shot.
Raw honey sweetens the mixture with more than just good taste. It delivers a rich supply of live enzymes required to help body systems fight colds and respiratory infections of all kinds.
Bee propolis and Organic Echinacea root extract -- both considered powerful, natural antibiotics.
Raw apple cider vinegar, a folk remedy celebrated for its use against a long list of ailments, increases your body's alkalinity. (Although today's diets tend to make us more acidic, an alkaline body is safer from cancer and other diseases.) And the potassium in raw vinegar helps cells fight bacteria and viruses.
Take it regularly or when you first feel sick, and stay well with Berry Well.

Welcome back, bacteria
Acidophilus Blast is a combination of acidophilus and bifidus, another crucial good bacteria which enhances the yeast-inhibiting qualities of acidophilus. The "blast" comes from 8 billion live cultures in every capsules.
Antibiotics are a wonderful, life-saving tool. However, they are indiscriminate killers of both bacteria that cause painful and/or life-threatening conditions and good bacteria that populate our gut, aid in food digestion and form the foundation of our immune system. In the wake of this devastation, yeast tends to re-grow very quickly, and the once-happy gut becomes a home for these sugar-eating, hormone-secreting organisms. The standard American diet of processed foods and sugars fuel these interlopers in their quest for domination. Weaning ourselves from the hyper-processed American diet can be difficult.
Many of us have this yeast overgrowth in the GI tract, resulting in intense sugar cravings and many other yeast-related symptoms that require long-term probiotic therapy. However, taking probiotics long-term on a budget can be difficult. For this reason, we have developed the Acidophilus Blast supplement.
A probiotic supplement sends good bacteria into the GI tract, through the stomach, intestines, and colon, billions of little workers that properly break down the food you eat. Many of us require a constant influx of good bacteria because the ones supposed to be in the GI have been displaced or to constantly flush the intestines during a cleanse. Acidophilus has been shown to retard the reproduction of yeast, allowing the body a fighting chance of beating it back and repopulating the GI tract with its natural caretakers. Acidophilus Blast is not the Marines of probiotics like Tummy Tuneup. Instead it is a relatively inexpensive mix of the most important bacteria for GI support.
