FEATURES and BENEFITS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Indigestion
Symptoms
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a very common disorder affecting about 1 in 5 Australians. The signs and symptoms can vary widely from person to person. They can include:
- Irregular bowel function
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Bloating and flatulence
- Diarrhoea or constipation, sometimes alternating
Functional Dyspepsia (indigestion) is a recurrent or persistent abdominal pain or abdominal discomfort centered in the upper abdomen. Symptoms can include:
- Heartburn
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
- Bloating
- Cramping
Contributing Factors
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a multifaceted condition for which several contributing factors have been identified such as poor digestive function; bowel flora imbalances; nutrient malabsorption; food sensitivities and allergies.
The role of stress as a contributing factor
IBS symptoms are often triggered or worsened by stress due to a strong link between the central nervous system and the intestinal function.
Therefore, stress management, adjusting lifestyle factors using therapeutic agents with a calming action on the nervous system need to be incorporated in an effective IBS treatment.
Bioglan Triple Action IBx IBS + Indigestion
Bioglan IBx IBS + Indigestion is a potent triple action formula that does not only help relieve the symptoms of medically diagnosed IBS and indigestion, but also treats contributing factors such as stress and anxiety and a poor digestive function.
Bioglan IBx triple action formula:
1. Relieves symptoms of medically diagnosed IBS & dyspepsia
2. Supports and enhances the digestive system
3. Calms and balances a healthy nervous system
Bioglan IBx contains seven traditional and evidence based ingredients including therapeutic herbs, fibre and glutamine. These seven ingredients work synergistically to relieve and treat the below symptoms and triggers:
Abdominal pain/spasms, bloating and flatulence: The potent traditional antispasmotic herbs Chamomille, Lemon Balm and Peppermint are synergistically combined to help ease and relieve abdominal spasms and pain. They are traditionally valued for their carminative action, meaning that they soothe the digestive tract and minimise flatulence and bloating.
Diarrhoea or Constipation: Fibre especially soluble fibre, like the traditional herb Slippery Elm Bark, has been shown to help relieve IBS symptoms of diarrhoea and constipation, as well as helping to normalise bowel function and nourish healthy intestinal flora.
Poor digestive function: Globe Artichoke Leaf has been demonstrated in clinical trials to support and promote healthy digestive function and help relieve IBS and non-specific dyspepsia symptoms. Curcumin (Turmeric root) is known to relieve gastrointestinal conditions and alleviate spasms and inflammation. Both herbs also promote healthy liver function.
Intestinal Health: L-Glutamine assists in supporting healthy intestinal mucous membrane function, while the traditional herb Slippery Elm Bark is valued for its soothing effect on intestinal membranes and for helping to promote healthy intestinal flora and bowel function.
Stress and Anxiety: IBS symptoms can be triggered or worsened during stressful events, which may lead to disturbed motility and digestive function. Chamomile, Lemon Balm and L-Glutamine are combined in this formulation to help calm the nervous system and help normalise intestinal function by helping in balancing the brain-gastro intestinal tract axis.
