Cascara Sagrada & Buckthorn — traditional stimulant laxative herbs for bowel regularity
Ginger & Capsicum — support digestive motility and warmth
Oregon Grape Root & Licorice — liver, gallbladder, and anti-inflammatory support
Turkey Rhubarb & Red Clover — traditional cleansing herbs
100 capsules — Nature's Sunshine NZ quality
Frequently Asked Questions How does Cascara Sagrada support bowel regularity? Cascara Sagrada bark contains anthraquinone glycosides (primarily cascarosides) that are converted by intestinal bacteria into compounds that stimulate the smooth muscle of the large intestine, increasing peristalsis and promoting bowel movement. This stimulant laxative action typically produces a bowel movement 6–12 hours after taking the supplement. Unlike bulk-forming laxatives, Cascara Sagrada works actively on bowel motility rather than passively increasing stool bulk.
What does this supplement do differently from a simple laxative? Lower Bowel Support goes beyond simple laxative action — the comprehensive herbal blend addresses multiple aspects of digestive health. Oregon Grape Root supports bile production and liver detoxification. Ginger improves digestive motility and reduces gas. Licorice soothes the digestive mucosa. Couch Grass supports urinary tract cleansing. Red Clover provides antioxidant phytochemicals. The formula addresses the whole digestive and elimination system, not just stool frequency.
Is Lower Bowel Support suitable for long-term use? Nature's Sunshine states this formula is non-addictive and safe for longer-term use. However, prolonged daily use of stimulant laxative herbs (Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn) is generally not recommended — tolerance can develop and bowel dependence on stimulant laxatives is possible with continuous use. Consult your naturopath or GP for guidance on appropriate duration and frequency for your specific situation.
Why is it not recommended during pregnancy? Stimulant laxative herbs (Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn, Turkey Rhubarb) can stimulate uterine smooth muscle alongside bowel smooth muscle — potentially increasing the risk of uterine contractions and miscarriage, particularly in the first trimester. Do not use during pregnancy. For constipation in pregnancy, consult your midwife or GP about safe alternatives (dietary fibre, osmotic laxatives like lactulose, or psyllium husk).
What is the difference between Nature's Sunshine Lower Bowel Support and Nature's Sunshine Liver Cleanse Formula? Lower Bowel Support specifically targets the large intestine and bowel elimination — using laxative and bowel-motility herbs. Nature's Sunshine Liver Cleanse Formula specifically targets the liver and gallbladder — using liver-protective herbs like milk thistle, dandelion, and artichoke to support hepatic detoxification and bile production. They address different organs and can be used together as part of a broader elimination support programme under naturopathic guidance.

Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva – High Absorption Turmeric for Joint, Eye & Circulatory Health Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva – Superior Absorption Turmeric Supplement Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva uses a patented phytosome technology that binds curcumin to phospholipids, dramatically increasing its absorption compared to standard curcumin supplements. Meriva is clinically studied and shown to be absorbed up to 29 times better than ordinary curcumin. This makes it ideal for joint support, eye health, small vessel circulation, and general anti-inflammatory support.

Meriva phytosome technology — up to 29x better absorption
Clinically studied for joint, eye and circulatory health
Potent natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
Available in 60 or 180 capsule packs
Vege capsules — non-GMO
Frequently Asked Questions What is Meriva and why is it better than regular curcumin? Meriva is a patented curcumin-phospholipid complex that dramatically improves curcumin's bioavailability. Standard curcumin is poorly absorbed. Clinical studies show Meriva is absorbed up to 29 times more effectively, delivering more active curcumin to the bloodstream.
What health conditions can curcumin phytosome help with? Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva has been clinically studied for joint health (osteoarthritis), eye health, small vessel circulation, and general inflammatory support. It may also benefit gut health and mood.
How does Meriva compare to BioPerine curcumin? Both improve curcumin absorption. BioPerine (black pepper extract) blocks curcumin breakdown in the liver. Meriva uses a phospholipid complex for direct cell membrane integration. Both are effective — Meriva typically shows higher blood levels in clinical comparisons.
How do I take Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome? The typical dose is 1–2 capsules twice daily with food. Taking with food, especially with some fat, further supports absorption.
Is this safe to take with blood thinners? Curcumin may have mild blood-thinning properties. If you take warfarin or other anticoagulants, consult your doctor before using curcumin supplements.

Key Features
Economy K-tape — affordable alternative to premium brands
Similar elasticity and adhesive properties to other kinesiology tapes
Beige colour — skin-tone matching for discreet wear

Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is kinesiology tape used for? A: Kinesiology tape (K-tape) is an elastic adhesive tape used to support muscles and joints, reduce pain and swelling, improve posture, and facilitate rehabilitation from sports injuries. Unlike rigid tape which immobilises, K-tape allows full range of motion while providing gentle muscular support and proprioceptive feedback. Common applications include patella tracking, shoulder support, lower back pain and shin splints.
Q: How long does kinesiology tape stay on? A: Kinesiology tape is designed to stay on the skin for 3–5 days, even through showering and light swimming. The water-resistant adhesive maintains its properties when wet. Remove gently using oil or adhesive remover if needed, pulling slowly along the skin rather than lifting sharply.
Q: Do I need to shave the skin before applying kinesiology tape? A: For best adhesion and comfortable removal, apply kinesiology tape to clean, dry, hair-free skin. On areas with significant hair, shaving or trimming the hair will improve adhesion and reduce discomfort during removal. Avoid applying moisturiser or oil to the skin before taping.
Q: Is Game Day K-Tape as good as Rocktape or KT Tape? A: USL Sport Game Day K-Tape is designed to offer similar elastic and adhesive properties to premium brands at a lower price point — making it a practical choice for everyday and club use. For elite-level competition or very specific taping applications, premium brands may offer slight performance advantages. For most recreational and club sport applications, Game Day K-Tape provides reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions What is light bladder leakage (LBL)? Light bladder leakage (LBL) refers to small amounts of urine that escape when pressure is placed on the bladder — such as sneezing, coughing, laughing, jumping, or exercising. It is very common in women, particularly after childbirth or during menopause, and in men after prostate treatment.
Why are Poise liners better than period liners for bladder leakage? Period liners are designed to absorb menstrual flow, which has different viscosity and flow rate than urine. Poise liners are specifically engineered with odour-neutralising and rapid-absorption technology for urine, providing more effective and odour-free protection.
Can I use Poise Regular Liners for both bladder leakage and periods? Poise liners are designed for bladder leakage only and are not intended for menstrual use. For periods, use a dedicated menstrual pad or liner.
Are Poise liners suitable for all day wear? Yes. Poise liners are designed for comfortable all-day wear. Change your liner regularly for hygiene and comfort, or as often as needed depending on leakage level.
Do Poise liners cause skin irritation? Poise liners are dermatologically tested and designed for sensitive skin. If you experience irritation, try a fragrance-free variant, ensure liners are changed regularly, and consult your pharmacist if irritation persists.
