NUTRITIONISTS OFTEN ADVISE YEAST AVOIDANCE
Ecobalance® is the ideal supplement programme for those wanting to follow a diet that is both yeast-free and free from products derived from or manufactured with yeast.
Although it is not possible to avoid yeasts entirely, Ecobalance® has been designed to help maintain the ecological balance of the intestinal tract.

Why The Hering Clinic Recommends this Product
In clinical trials, probiotics are shown to reduce inflammation in the gut (Shiel B, Shanahan F, O’Mahony L: 2007) (Boirivant M, Strober W: 2007) (Fedorak RN: 2008). In addition to probiotics, Ecobalance offers further gut support with the amino acid Glutamine. There is much suggestive biochemical and physiologic evidence, which implies that glutamine supports the function of the intestinal mucosal system (Reeds PJ, Burrin DG: 20010) (Jiang ZM: 1999). Garlic has been show to offer anti-microbial and anti-fungal effects (Lawson LD: 1996) (Lawson LD, Hughes BG: 1992), which in addition to the other substances in Ecobalance can assist in maintaining the ecological environment of the digestive tract.
At The Hering Clinic we love this product! EcoBalance is our best seller and we have received positive feedback from our clients.
