My Review:
Earth Mama Angel Baby Milk-To-Go Pumping Companion Essentials are a must have for breastfeeding mothers! Having had 4 kids and breastfed them all I know a little something about breastfeeding.

However, there's also many products on the market to help breastfeeding mothers but I especially like this all in one kit from Earth Mama Angel Baby! Earth Mama Angel Baby Milk-To-Go Pumping Companion Essentials conatain some awesome products like Booby Tubes®, Organic Milkmaid Tea, Natural Nipple Butter and Happy Mama Body Wash.

Booby Tubes® are breast packs made with an organic cotton shell and filled with natural flax seed. You can use them warm to help encourage let-down or cold to ease swelling. If you've ever had a breast infection these Booby Tubes® are a life saver. They're also great for when your milk initially comes in because they help relieve some of the pain.

Organic Milkmaid Tea not only tastes great but it's perfect for supporting healthy breast milk production and healthy lactation.

Natural Nipple Butter is the first Non-GMO Project Verified Nipple Cream. It's lanolin-free and absolutely fabulous for sore nipples. I love that it's perfectly safe for baby!

Prismacolor's products help me to be more artistic! I've always had an interest in art although I don't consider myself good at it.

My sister who knows just about everything their is to know about art only uses Prismacolor and for good reason. Prismacolor's colored pencils are incredible and made even my drawings look good.

Our Position  Ahead of the Times
As a ground-breaking and modern company, there is always something new happening at Vibrant Health. When you aim to design evolutionary formulas you need smart minds capable of independent thinking. There’s no doubt that we think differently from the rest of the nutrition industry. We don’t wish to be seen as a traditional nutraceutical brand. We wish to be seen as a brand built “on” science and “by” the efficacy of our formulations. And that’s why we must use these principles and practices as lamp posts to guide our decisions and to keep us focused on our Mission:  To assist the healing of illness and the establishment of optimum health through supplemental nutrition. To design and market the most efficacious dietary supplements for the benefit of all men women and children.

Plant science and organic chemistry have also brought us a legion of new biologically active substances that can be put to work supporting optimal health. This ever-changing milieu of science and evolving raw materials feeds the formulation of dietary supplements. We dare not presume that any dietary supplement designed today will remain the best into an endless future. For that reason, every Vibrant Health product is expected to change as new discoveries in science come to light, and as new raw materials become available. Vibrant Health products are dynamic, designed to stay at the forefront of nutritional science. They are dynamic by design.

That is why you will find NO misleading proprietary blends in any Vibrant Health product. We’ve used full disclosure labeling since 1976, and always will. It’s your right to know!


WHAT IT IS:

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support combines fermentable fibers, probiotics and a group of specific ingredients all carefully selected to improve bowel health. The ingredients include botanical extracts, amino acids, calcium and magnesium butyrates. Together, they nurture normal and healthy cell function.

WHAT DOES VIBRANT FLORA: IMPROVED BOWEL SUPPORT DO?

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support should help fuel the regeneration of healthy mucosal cells in the lining the large intestine. It feeds healthy gut metabolism and may help healthy and normal bowel function. Side benefits could be more regular bowel function and improved digestion. With the latter comes improved nutrient absorption, enhanced overall health, and efficient healing.

WHAT’S IN IT?

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support is your all in-one product to promote regularity and digestive health. Ingredients that support intestinal health are:

8.5 g of fiber – The intestinal lining replaces itself every seven days. Certain plant fibers, acacia gum, wheat grass, and psyllium seed among them, stimulate healthful renewal of the lining of the intestinal tract. They provide food for cells of the intestinal mucosa and support normal cell replacement. Wheatgrass leaf powder, psyllium, and acacia fibers are fermented by the strains of probiotic bacteria in Improved Bowel Support to generate short chain fatty acids (e.g. acetic, butyric and propionic), a primary fuel for the growth of healthy cells in the intestinal lining.

100 billion probiotics – Such a powerful serving of the right probiotics are often required to reverse the course of intestinal dysfunction. The eight strains in VIBRANT FLORA Improved Bowel Support are precisely the probiotics identified to deliver a successful outcome.

Calcium butyrate and magnesium butyrate – These two compounds are buffered sources of the short chain fatty acid, butyric acid, one of the fatty acids that serve as food for cells lining the colon. It helps new, healthy cells grow and develop quickly.

Amino Acids – Cell proliferation is further supported by three amino acids, L-glutamine, L-arginine, and Propionyl-L-carnitine, which are integral to the process. L-glutamine and L-arginine serve directly as additional fuel for growing cells. Propionyl-L-carnitine plays a key role in short-chain fatty-acid metabolism including butyrate and propionate, two of the fatty acids that are important energy sources for developing intestinal cells.

High antioxidant botanicals>– AprèsFlex Boswellia serrata extract, Curcuwin Curcuminoid extract, ginger root, ginkgo biloba, grape seed, green tea, pomegranate and rosemary extracts were carefully selected and combined in order to subdue the production of a wide variety of pro-inflammatory cell-two-cell messengers while increasing the output of some anti-inflammatory cell messengers. These ingredients scavenge free radicals in their own right, help bind damaged tissue back together, resist tissue breakdown, and may help shrink swollen tissue.

Certified organic selenium – Scavenging cells that are part of the natural immune reaction to inflammation, called macrophages, can ironically exacerbate inflammation as they try to clean up the debris from damaged cells. The element, selenium, is needed by macrophages to control their own pro-inflammatory tendencies as they go about doing their good works.

Improved Bowel Support, combined with a good Paleolithic diet of organic meats and lots of fresh cooked vegetables, along with an exercise plan that meets individual needs, can help improve bowel function and discomfort by addressing the cause on a cellular level.

My Review:
Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support from Vibrant Health is an amazing product! The intestinal lining replaces itself every seven days so I though I'll take Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support for at least 7 days and see if I notice any improvement and boy did I. 

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support should help fuel the regeneration of healthy mucosal cells in the lining the large intestine. It feeds healthy gut metabolism and may help healthy and normal bowel function. Side benefits could be more regular bowel function and improved digestion. With the latter comes improved nutrient absorption, enhanced overall health, and efficient healing. 

I've suffered from bloating in the evenings for some time now and always thought I was getting too much fiber but after taking Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support I no longer have bloating in the evenings. I'm completely amazed at how flat my stomach is now all just because my intestinal lining is healthy. Bloating is extremely uncomfortable so I'm more than thrilled it's a problem of the past. I also noticed an increase in my energy levels and of course Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support helped me to be come regular without any bouts of constipation. 

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support is a wonderful product and I'll definitely continue taking it!
