It produces large leaves, long fleshy edible stalks and small flowers. In culinary use, fresh raw leaf stalks (petioles) are crisp (similar to celery) with a strong, tart taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlucomannan:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGlucomannan is a water-soluble polysaccharide that is classed as a form of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fibre-plus\"\u003edietary fibre\u003c\/a\u003e and is usually derived from the konjac root.

Cayenne fruits are slender, elongated pods derived from the capsicum family plant (a cultivar of \u003cem\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/em\u003e related to bell peppers, jalapeños, paprika, and others). Cayenne is a source of capsaicin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSugar beet fibre:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSugar beet, cultivated \u003cem\u003eBeta vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e, is a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose (as its name suggests). It is grown commercially for sugar production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSugar beets are related to other \u003cem\u003eB. vulgaris cultivars\u003c\/em\u003e, such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/beet-cherry\"\u003ebeetroot\u003c\/a\u003e and chard. They consist of approximately 75% water, 20% sugar and 5% cell walls. After the sugar is extracted, remaining cell wall material - the sugar beet pulp - is used to produce the sugar beet fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis source of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fibre-complex\"\u003edietary fibre\u003c\/a\u003e contains both soluble and insoluble fibres. The main fibre types in sugar beet fibre are insoluble hemicellulose (22-32 %) and soluble pectin (22-29 %), but also smaller amounts of cellulose and lignin. It has a water-holding capacity of 3-4 times its own weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared to many conventional natural sources of dietary fibre, such as cereal products and fruits, sugar beet fibre has the following advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt has a higher content of dietary fibre, with an ideal balance of \u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e insoluble fibre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt contains no phytic acid (cereal products, such as bran and flour, contain phytic acid which forms strong chemical complexes with iron and zinc and can consequently impair or reduce the natural absorption of these essential minerals in the human body).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is naturally free from gluten, which means it is an excellent dietary fibre source for people suffering from gluten intolerance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSugar beet fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk in two ways: the insoluble components of the fibre increase faecal bulk by absorbing water in the large intestine, while the soluble components are fermented by bacteria in the large intestine leading to an increase in bacterial mass.

There are around 30 species of dandelion that can be found all over the world and it is usually considered to be a weed. Belgium is one of the only countries that cultivates and makes use of it in large quantities.

It is native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and western North America and has been introduced elsewhere. The species is divided into six subspecies, five of which have many hollow stinging hairs called trichomes on the leaves and stems. The plant has a long history of use as a source of food and fibre, as well as in herbal supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarberry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBarberry, also referred to as mountain grape, pepperidge, berberry and the common grape, is a species of deciduous and evergreen shrub native to the temperate and sub-tropical regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack aged garlic:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGarlic (\u003cem\u003eAllium sativum\u003c\/em\u003e) is a bulbous plant, which is widely used around the world for its pungent flavour, as a seasoning or condiment and as an ingredient in herbal supplements. It contains sulphur compounds. Black garlic originated in Korea and is raw garlic that has been fermented. Raw garlic is placed in humidity and a temperature controlled room for 30 days then moved to another room for 45 days to ‘oxidise’. This process creates garlic that is black in colour, softer in texture and has a more mild taste. Black garlic contains more sulphur compounds than regular garlic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eEAN: 0769173109957\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"firstItem\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/6689\/8245\/files\/f5c4faad_2714.svg?v=1785160417\" alt=\"✔\"\u003e DETOX SERIES – \u003c\/strong\u003eWith glucomannan, sugar beet fibre and a combination of herbal ingredients, the Medna Holistic Colon Cleanse is a herbal colon care product that supports internal cleansing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/6689\/8245\/files\/f5c4faad_2714.svg?v=1785160417\" alt=\"✔\"\u003e PROFESSIONAL  –  \u003c\/b\u003eBased on a formula by American master herbalist, Dr John R.
