iCleanse is a product containing soluble fiber (soluble fiber) and insoluble fiber (insoluble fiber) and enhanced with Prebiotics and Probiotics for best effects. Both of these fibers are equally important for digestive health and is needed by our body every day without any side effects. With the perfect combination of soluble fiber and insoluble fiber will facilitate disposal of solid impurities from our large intestine, so it can help the digestive system function more efficiently.
If we do not take enough fiber (insoluble and soluble), our body will have a lot of accumulated toxins and waste, which can add between 1 to 5kgs to our weight. Our iCleanse has the perfect balance of both type of fibers. With daily consumption of our iCleanse, you can get rid of these toxins and waste, thereby reducing your weight by 1 to 5 kgs (since the toxins and waste is out of your system now).
Your digestive system will also function more effciently and helps in maximising your nutrients absorption capabilities of your digestive tacts. You will not only feel and weight lighter, you will become more healthy (because 90% of all illnesses are originated from our colon which holds a lot of toxic waste).
There are 15 sachets of 10gm each per box. iCleanse comprised soluble and insoluble dietary fiber and it can be consume on a daily basis to keep your colon clean. It is NOT abrasive and can be taken daily as compared to other detox products in the market that can only be taken once every 3/6 month.
iCleanse can be taken daily as a dietary fiber supplements (recommended fiber requirement per person per day is at least 30gm and most people do not take enough per day. The 10gm of Cleanse will help to supplement your fiber daily requirement). Just mix contents in the sachets in a glass of water or shaker, mix well and drink it immediately. It is best consume before sleeping.
Prebiotics and Probiotics
Prebiotics are fibres which cannot be absorbed or broken down by the body and therefore serve as a great food source for probiotics to grow, multiply and survive in the gut. Prebiotics by nature do not stimulate the growth of bad bacteria or other pathogens. Prebiotics is defined as a non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon, which can improve host health.
Probiotics are live bacteria that are good for your health, especially our digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But our body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep our gut healthy. Probiotics are naturally found in our body. You can also find them in some foods and supplements. When probiotics and prebiotics are combined, they form a synbiotic.
Ingredients in iCleanse
1. Oat Fiber
Oats (Avena sativa) are well-known as a good source of soluble fiber, the type of dietary fiber linked to lower blood cholesterol and a decreased risk of diabetes. Oats also contain a high concentration of insoluble fiber. Oat fiber, which is an ingredient low in available carbohydrates, absorbs up to seven times its weight in water is helpful for digestion, intestinal and cardiovascular health, lowering of blood sugar and cholesterol, and weight loss.
2. Psyllium Husk Fiber
Psyllium Husk (Plantago Ovate) has been consumed as a dietary fiber supplement since 1955. Psyllium Husk Fiber has no nutritive value other than as a source of fiber. United States Food and Drugs Administration acknowledged Psyllium Husk’s role in lowering blood cholesterol levels. Psyllium Husk fiber is neither digested nor absorbed by the body but it is useful stimulates bowel movements.
3. Mixed Fruits & Vegetable
Fiber and nutrients from fruits and vegetables are essential for our body. The fruit fibers in iCleanse are from apples, pears, kiwi, pineapple, passion fruit, and lemon whereas the vegetables fibers are from spinach, cucumber, celery, and cabbage.
4. Inulin
Inulin is a plant-based carbohydrate whose bonds cannot be broken by human digestive enzymes. Inulin is not digested in the small intestine but instead travels intact onto to the colon (large intestine), making it fodder for the resident gut bacteria and contributing to the bulk of our stools. Inulin occurs naturally in some vegetables and is also isolated from the roots of chicory plants.
5. Isomalto-Oligosaccharides
Isomalto-Oligosaccharide is a naturally occurring plant-based dietary fiber. Isomalto-oligosaccharide is formed by enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch from different cereal crops (wheat, barley, corn), pulses (lentils, peas), rice, tapioca (cassava), potato and other starch sources.
6. Oat Beta Glucan
Beta-glucan, a type of dietary fibre found in abundance in oats, has been recognised as having blood cholesterol-lowering properties. A major proposed mechanism is that dietary oat beta-glucan forms a viscous layer in the small intestine. The viscous layer attenuates the intestinal uptake of dietary cholesterol as well as the re-absorption of bile acids (which the body makes from cholesterol). In response, the body draws upon the pool of circulating cholesterol to produce new bile acids. Lower uptake of cholesterol from the gut combined with more bodily cholesterol used for bile acid production results in reduced levels of cholesterol circulating in the blood.
Because oat beta glucan is a soluble form of fibre it dissolves inside the digestive tract where it forms a thick gel – a bit like wallpaper paste. This gel is able to bind to excess cholesterol and cholesterol like substances within the gut and help to prevent these from being absorbed into the body.
For the past eight years, health claims for beta-glucan–containing foods have been allowed in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Finland, and the United Kingdom. The health claims approved by the FDA and the European Food Safety Authority are based on research showing that consuming 3 g of beta-glucans per day, from either oats or barley, can lower blood cholesterol levels by 5% to 8%.
7. Wheat Grass Powder
Wheatgrass is a nutrient-packed member of the cereal grass family. Adding wheatgrass to your diet is an effective way to get your quota of five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Wheatgrass juice is an effective healer because it contains all minerals known to man, and vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, l and K. It is extremely rich in protein, and contains 17 amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
8. Spirulina
Spirulina is a simple one-celled microscopic blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria). Spirulina is often deemed the most nutritionally complete of all food supplements, containing a rich supply of many important nutrients, including protein, complex carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins A, K, and B complex. It also has a high supply of carotenoids such as beta carotene and yellow xanthophylls which have antioxidant properties. It is also rich in chlorophyll, fatty and nucleic acids, and lipids. Thus, spirulina has countless uses as a supplement for maintaining good health and for preventing diseases.
9. Stevia
Stevia is perhaps unique among food ingredients because it's most valued for what it doesn't do. It doesn't add calories. Unlike other sugar substitutes, stevia is derived from a plant.
Stevia is a sweetener which doesn't fall under the category of artificial sweeteners as it is derived from a plant called Stevia Rebaudiana widely grown in South America. What makes stevia so popular with diabetics is the fact that it sweetens food without adding to the blood glucose levels or carbohydrates. It has no calories in its pure form. Therefore, not only diabetic population but other health conscious non-patients don't mind trying it.
10. Lactobacillis Acidophilus
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a form of bacteria that's found naturally in the body. It's considered beneficial to human health because the bacteria doesn't cause disease. Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the most commonly used probiotics, microorganisms that are used to promote health. Probiotics are different from prebiotics, which are complex sugars that may support the growth of "good" bacteria in the intestinal tract. Lactobacillus acidophilus by mouth should be avoided in people who have intestinal damage, immune problems, or an overgrowth of bacteria in the intestines.
11. Chlorphyll
Chlorophyll is a green photosynthetic pigment found in most plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Because chlorophyll has a cell structure that is similar to haemoglobin in human blood, research has shown that chlorophyll aids blood formations.
