A sweet-tasting
blend of traditional Chinese and American herbs,
Nature's Tea aids the body's natural ability to cleanse
itself of toxins, combining efficient cleansing action
as part of a weight management program.* This special
blend of herbs has been formulated and used with great
success for many years.
Consumers around the world spend vast amounts of money
every year on products and regimes that claim to conquer
that stubborn excess baggage called fat. Nature's Tea,
from Unicity™, addresses this concern with a natural and
gentle, yet effective, product that nourishes the
intestinal, urinary, and immune systems.
When combined with proper nutrition and a conscientious
exercise program, Nature's Tea gives the body the
nutritional support it needs to cleanse and slim itself
for improved health and appearance.*
Freeways operate most efficiently when traffic flows
smoothly. When traffic slows down due to overcrowding or
traffic obstructions, congestion occurs. The result is a
traffic jam that can back up cars for miles. The same is
true of the intestinal tract. The colon functions
properly when bowel transit is accomplished with
regularity. Constipation becomes a problem when transit
time is slowed, bringing with it numerous health
concerns. Sometimes the body's systems need a little
help to get things moving again, and Nature's Tea
supports this natural process. Proper intestinal
function is an important aspect of any program designed
to help the body manage weight.*
Research Brief
The colon, or large intestine,
is the terminal portion of the gastrointestinal (GI)
tract. The colon receives the thoroughly mixed and
digested remains of food from the upper portions of the
GI tract. Remaining nutrients, primarily in the form of
indigestible fiber, is acted upon by intestinal
bacteria. These bacteria produce various vitamins, such
as vitamin K and biotin, that are absorbed into the
blood. In addition, the colon also absorbs significant
amounts of water and electrolytes from the digested food
before it is eliminated.
Colon health relies on two factors: 1) the health and
viability of intestinal bacteria and 2) constant
motility to move the contents along the colon. Dietary
fiber helps stimulate bacterial fermentation as well as
motility. Lack of motility in the colon slows the
transit time of digested materials. This leads to an
increase in the amount of water reabsorbed and can lead
to constipation. Severe cases of constipation can lead
to intestinal blockage. On the other hand, greatly
increased motility can cause diarrhea, which can lead to
severe loss of water and electrolytes.
