Peppermint is an herb that is helpful for many conditions
including indigestion, irritable bowel, nausea, congestion,
headaches and body aches. Peppermint and its active
constituent menthol have significant antiviral and
antibacterial activity. Studies support peppermint’s use to
enhance gastric emptying and reduce nausea. It will increase
saliva in the mouth and facilitate healthy digestion.
Mint Breath Spray Concentrate also contains Chlorophyll,
which is known for its deodorizing properties. Chlorophyll
cleanses and detoxifies the digestive tract while promoting
digestion. It is an effective remedy for those with chronic bad
breath or digestive tract odor.
Mint Breath Spray Concentrate can be used for occasional or
chronic bad breath. It will deodorize the breath from
smoking or tobacco use, illness, infection and eating
offending foods such as garlic and onions.
Dosage:
Holding spray nozzle close to the mouth, spray 2-3 times into

Ingredients:
Two veggie caps contain the following:
Wildcrafted Aged Cascara Sagrada Bark 450mg, Wildcrafted
Yellow Dock Root 150mg, Organic Triphala Fruit 100mg,
Wildcrafted Oregon Grape Root 100mg, Organic Licorice
Root 50mg, Organic Gentian Root 50mg, Organic Ginger
Root 50mg, and the veggie capsule contains Modified
Vegetable Cellulose
Indications:
Phyto-Tech™ Moving On encourages healthy bowel
movements and restores tone to weakened bowels. It will
help to increase digestion by increasing digestive enzymes,
improve assimilation, and stimulate elimination to provide
fast and effective relief of constipation and underactive
bowels. The formula increases peristalsis (the wave-like
contraction that pushes contents through the bowel or colon).
Moving On stimulates bile and digestive enzyme production,
which strengthens the gastrointestinal tract. It also enhances
liver function and helps retain moisture in the intestines.
Moving On is a non-cramping, gentle formula.
Cascara is a predictable laxative that increases peristalsis. It
softens the stool by helping it to move out more quickly and
can assist in painful bowel movements.
Yellow Dock stimulates bile production and is often used as a
digestive bitter for those with poor digestion. Increasing bile
output causes peristalsis to increase which helps assist in
normal healthy bowel function. Yellow Dock contains small
amounts of anthraquinone glycosides, which give it mild
laxative effects. Yellow Dock also promotes the absorption of
nutrients by the ileum.
Triphala has been used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine
for thousands of years as a bowel tonic and whole body
rejuvenator. The formula consists of the three fruits: amalaki,
haritaki, and bibhitaki. The combination balances the system
by enhancing digestion, drawing stagnated wastes out of the
intestines, and gently encouraging healthy and complete
elimination.
Similar in action to Yellow Dock, Oregon Grape and Gentian
are bitters that stimulate the liver to produce more bile and
other liver enzymes. They essentially increase liver function
and are indicated for those with constitutional deficiency
patterns in the liver and digestive system. They will increase
fat digestion (by increasing bile) and protein digestion (by
increasing HCl and pepsinogen), and speedup the rate in
which the liver detoxifies the blood as it passes through the
liver.
Licorice increases the hormone aldosterone, which increases
water retention slightly. It will help hydrate and soften dry
stools and acts as a mild laxative. Licorice is soothing to the
digestive tract and is known for healing stomach and
duodenal ulcers.
Ginger will increase digestive enzymes and speed up the
transit time of food that is slow. It essentially increases the fire
of digestion. It has a history of use in foods to help digest and
move them through the digestive tract. It also helps reduce
gas and can help prevent and alleviate nausea.
Contra-indications and Cautions: Pregnancy, Nursing; Colitis,
inflammatory bowel, irritable bowel. It is not advisable to use
stimulant laxatives regularly over a long period of time follow
the advice of your health care professional.
Warning: Do not use this product if you have abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Discontinue if use leads

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplement
S
ometimes, combining two nutrients
together can have a greater effect than a
single nutrient alone. Synergy is defined as the
interaction or cooperation of two or more
substances, or other agents to produce a
combined effect greater than the sum of their
separate effects.
In this study, doctors combined a
curcuminoid complex from turmeric with a
boswellic acid extract from Indian
frankincense. Men and women with
osteoarthritis, aged 40 to 70, took a placebo,
a curcuminoid complex alone, or a
combination of 350 mg of curcuminoids plus
150 mg of boswellic acid three times per day.
After 12 weeks, while the placebo group had
not improved, those taking curcumin alone or
the curcumin-boswellic acid combination
(CuraminÆ) scored better on physical
function performance tests including morning
stiffness, and limits to physical function. Only
the curcumin-boswellic acid group reported
improvement in joint pain.

Alternative Medicine; 2018, Vol. 18, No. 1, 7
This concept of synergy is often used in
nutritional supplements, with positive results.
Another example of a synergistic
combination, with turmeric, or curcumin as
its base is the product Turmeric Joint Synergy,
in the Willner Chemists Phyto-Techô line.
Turmeric Joint Synergy is an herbal
supplement designed to support healthy joints
and reduce inflammation. It contains a
synergistic blend of Turmeric, Devil's Claw,
Willow, and Cat's Claw.
The Turmeric Root extract (95%
curcuminoids) and Willow Bark extract (25%
Salicin) provide relief from muscle and joint
discomfort through support of the body's
natural inflammatory process. Devil's Claw
Root is a specific joint and connective tissue
herb to promote a healthy inflammatory
response. Cat's Claw Bark supports healthy
joints and is adaptogenic. In addition, it
contains Black Cohosh Root, which calms
joint and muscle discomfort, Licorice Root,
which supports the inflammatory system by
balancing healthy cortisol levels, and Black
Pepper extract facilitates absorption and
promote healthy circulation.
