Allaying Concerns about using SuperFood plus
What is The Niacin Flush?
Some people periodically notice that after drinking SuperFood plus they experience a 'Niacin Flush', this is the clinical term for vitamin B3. This is when you experience a tingling sensation accompanied by red blotches in various parts of the body. This strawberry red blotching doesn't last long and usually is gone after an hour and a half at most. Although it itches and heat is experienced, it has a beneficial effect and increases general vigour. This is a positive sign reflecting the quality and strength of the ingredients of this product. It is helpful to candida as yeast dislikes the extra oxygen.
This Niacin Flush may not happen every time you drink SuperFood plus as your body's nutritional needs vary, so do not be concerned if this happens occasionally, but not consistently.
Over Active Thyroid
Those with an over active thyroid and who are taking medication for this condition may wish to consult your GP prior to taking this product.
The Yeast Used in Dr Schulze's SuperFood plus is Candida Friendly.
Many practitioners are quite rightly wary to prescribe any products containing yeast to their clients/patients. We have never had any complaints from the hundreds of practitioners (Nutritionalists Herbalists etc.) who deal with us, nor have we ever received any complaints from the millions of customers in the U.K., Europe and U.S."
The reasons we have never had any complaints from candida sufferers are threefold:
-
We choose a species of yeast known to be non-irritative to candida sufferers, the saccharomyces cervisiae species.
-
We use yeast that is kept pure in it's growing cycle to ensure non-contamination from other opportunistic yeasts that are not the saccharomyces cervisiae species.
-
The yeast is heated slightly once harvested so as to ensure it is not able to grow or ferment any further. The temperature is carefully controlled so that none of the nutrition is lost but to ensure it is in a non-fermentable state. (Nutritional readings are carried out before and after, on sample batches.)
The yeast that causes candida infections is called candida albicans, whereas the one used in the SuperFood plus is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae which is a 'grown' yeast and a different genus and species. 'Unless a person's immune system is so deranged that it begins to cross-react against all yeast in the system, there is no major problem taking Saccharomyces Cerevasiae yeast' Gabriel Cousens, MD from his book Conscious Eating.
Dr Schulze's yeast is a primary stain of Saccharomyces Cerevasiae grown on enriched purified molasses and beets, under carefully controlled conditions which ensures freedom from any possibility of the candida albicans yeast opportunistically invading.
The fact that the yeast is a 'primary strain' is important because it means that it has been produced specifically as a food supplement and is usually grown on molasses and or sugar beets in order to do so as it provides the necessary carbohydrates for the yeast to grow on. This is opposed to other yeasts which are a by-product of the brewing industry, grown on hope, grain and malt. This 'by-product' type of yeast grown means that the yeast picks up various chemicals, alcohols and a bitter flavour. The are then processed to remove the bitter flavour which then lowers the general nutritional quality.
Detoxification Side Effects and Powers of SuperFood plus
SuperFood plus is highly detoxifying and whilst all the plant components are helpful to the detox process the chlorella is particularly robust at removing toxins. The result can be in some cases a little overwhelming so for those prone to toxicity or in obvious need of a detox then start with lower doses of the SuperFood plus, e.g. 2 teaspoons instead of 1 tablespoon. Side effects that could occur when the SuperFood plus is causing a detox reaction may include bloating of the stomach, cold-like symptoms e.g. chills and heat headaches. This is a signal that various microbes e.g. virus, bacteria and fungus are ‘dying off’ and if elimination channels are sluggish or stagnant the toxins will not be able to exit quickly enough causing varying side effects. Reducing the dose, drinking plenty of water (2 litres) and ensuring bowel movements and kidney flushing will be vital.
