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.

Doctors may have discovered a new biomarker for depression: acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC). The body naturally produces ALC, which attaches tags to DNA with instructions to turn specific genes on or off. Doctors measured acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) levels in 71 adult men and women with major depressive disorder (MDD) and in 45 without, and found ALC levels were lower in those with MDD. While there was no link to acetyl- l-carnitine (ALC) in those with moderate MDD symptoms, those with severe major depressive disorder (MDD) symptoms, and those diagnosed at a younger age, had lower levels of ALC. Doctors separately reviewed nine depression studies covering 447 people and found that those who took acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) saw significantly reduced symptoms. In three of the studies that compared ALC to Prozac, Cymbalta, or Solian, acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) was as effective, with far fewer side effects. (Reference: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences; 2018, Vol. 115, No. 34, 8627-32); Acetyl-l-carnitine and depression symptoms (2) Reference: Psychosomatic Medicine; 2018, Vol. 80, No. 2; 154-9) Acetyl-L-carnitine is a derivative of the amino acid, L-carnitine. L-carnitine is a non- protein amino acid naturally found in the body. L-carnitine is made from the amino acids lysine and methionine. The main function of L-carnitine is to transfer long-chain fatty acids in the form of their acyl-carnitine esters across the inner mitochondrial membrane before beta-oxidation, This process allows the body to turn fat into energy. These recent studies support earlier evidence of a role between acetyl-L-carnitine and depression. Some clinical research shows that acetyl-L-carnitine decreases symptoms of dysthymia and depression in elderly people. One analysis of clinical research conducted in Europe showed that acetyl-L-carnitine 1-4 grams daily moderately reduced depressive symptoms compared to placebo, and similarly to conventional antidepressants, in patients with dysthymia and depression. Acetyl-L- carnitine seems to be most effective in older patients and when used at higher dosages.
