Flora Sweet is a pre-biotic insoluble (undigestable) fiber derived from a blend of mung bean extract and fibers. Most of us have heard of probiotics. They are health-enhancing bacteria that replenish the microflora in your intestinal track, helping your body to digest and absorb food, and promote good overall health. Most probiotics have a single strain of enzymes that furnish the intestinal tract with health-inducing bacteria; the best probiotic we’ve found has six strains. The enzymes are very specific, and target only the bacterium or viruses that it is designed to recognize. Prebiotics are a little different. Prebiotics are broad spectrum and thus are able to change the entire intestinal environment to favor a multitude of beneficial bacteria as well as to discourage a gamut of harmful bacteria.
You will notice that Flora-Sweet tastes very sweet (as one might expect from the name). The sweetness is from the particular proprietary method of processing and extraction of the mung bean fiber. Because the product is a fiber, there are no calories, and it passes through the body quickly and pulls waste out with it. This bodily process is traditionally called ”nature’s broom,” as the material literally sweeps through the body and carries debris with it. As well, there is no glucose rise whatsoever on the glycemic index (unlike other sugar substitutes like Stevia and Agave which do register – albeit low — on the glycemic index).
Flora Sweet has many nutritional advantages. It improves body chemistry by increasing mineral absorption; it optimizes protein digestion, resets electrolyte balance, and alkalizes the body. Because these benefits are on a foundational level, Flora Sweet has cancer-preventative effects, lowers cholesterol, and helps to balance blood sugar and insulin levels. When you give it to children, it balances their moods and helps their mind to stay calm and focused.
Flora Sweet is pesticide-free, herbicide-free and not genetically modified.
Dosage: All you need is between 1 and 3 grams a day (3 grams is half a teaspoon). There are a variety of ways to use it. You can bake with it without destroying any of its properties. You can dissolve it in water with lemon, and give yourself an alkalizing, detoxifying lemon-aid drink. Or, you can throw it on breakfast cereals as your sweetener.
If you prefer capsules, it is available as Ashi-Flora, which has additional Aloe Vera to magnify the colon cleansing effect.
