Prescript-Assist – a probiotic + prebiotic for the cultivation of beneficial gut flora
Vit K2 — essential fat-soluble vitamin that is in dynamic relationship with Vit D
Cod Liver Oil/Butter Oil — packed with Vitamin D, Vitamin A and Vit K2; this is a traditional foods supplement formulated by suggestions given by the late Dr. Weston A. Price
HealthForce Vitamineral Green — A powder supplement that is great to add into smoothies; packed with greens, common herbs, sea veggies, enzymes, and probiotics.
Great Lakes Unflavored (pwdr) Gelatin — Great to help heal and strengthen the lining of your gut… This product is Kosher and is beef-based. I use it in tea (can’t really taste it) or to make home-made jello and/or panna cotta. Instead of powdered gelatin, you can also make bone broths at home.
