Nutri-West
manufacturing is run and governed under the rules of the Federal Good
Manufacturing Practice Act (GMP) and as such is inspected regularly by the
American Food and Drug Administration.
Nutri-West
manufacturing received the FDA Blue Ribbon Award for Excellence.
All raw
materials used in the manufacturing of Nutri-West products are supported by a
certificate of analysis by the raw material manufacturer, which guarantees
potency (i.e. a pharmaceutical grade for vitamins and minerals and certified
grade for herbs). Certification of the herbs guarantees that the
pharmacologically active parts of the plants are used in Nutri-West products. At
regular random intervals, these samples are sent to independent laboratories for
analysis.
All
herbs and food concentrates used in Nutri-West products are certified
organically grown whenever available. All glandular sources are from certified
bovine sources. All nutrients are tested for heavy metal toxicity and
contamination by independent certified laboratories. No artificial
preservatives, colourings, additives, flavourings or stabilisers are used in
manufacturing. Nutri-West products are as hypoallergenic as possible.
Common allergy-reactive substances such as wheat, yeast and corn are avoided.
Anti-fungal preparations
There are many anti-fungal preparations available, all of which
are best taken in conjunction with a low yeast and low sugar diet. Some of the
most effective are as follows:
Caprylic acid (e.g. BioCare Mycropryl) is a short chain fatty
acid found in human breast milk and coconuts that has been found to help
establish the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Calcium and magnesium
caprylate favour the growth of the lactic acid bacteria in the gastrointestinal
tract.
Oxygen has antiseptic qualities and is antagonistic to yeast
organisms such as Candida Albicans. Double bonded oxygen has antibacterial and
antifungal properties. (BioCare’s Oxypro, or Good For You Corporation Aerobic
Oxygen).
Grapefruit Seed Extract has antiparasitic, antibacterial and
antifungal properties, and helps to maintain the correct balance of intestinal
flora.
Garlic has antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Other herbs containing antifungal properties include Pau d’Arco
tea and goldenseal.
Probiotics such as L.acidophilus and B.bifidum help reduce the
proliferation of yeast organisms such as Candida Albicans. L.acidophilus helps
reduce the colonisation of unfriendly bacteria by producing natural antibiotic
substances on the intestinal wall.
