TURBOCHARGE your digestive support with this OVERLOOKED crop
If your digestion isn’t running on all cylinders…
You may have to look beyond the OBVIOUS culprits.
Because what may SEEM like a “stomach” issue could actually go much deeper.
There’s A LOT that can go wrong between the time you chew and swallow your food… and when it comes out the other end.
And too often, we IGNORE the health of some of our VITAL digestive organs.
I’m talking about the liver… the gallbladder… and more.
Fortunately, you can support these aspects of your digestion naturally – with the help of a FORGOTTEN root vegetable.
It may look a little strange on the surface… but it’s one of the most POTENT natural cures of its kind that you’ll find!
A RADICAL root cure
Like all radishes, the Spanish black radish (Raphanus sativus niger) is a member of the mustard family…
But this dark-skinned root vegetable has been UPSTAGED by the bright red varieties of radish that you’ll more frequently find in your salads and side dishes!
Black radish is one of the OLDEST radishes in the world… dating back to the ancient Egyptians and being known as the MOST common radish in the 16th century.
In the 21st century, however, you’d have to try a little harder to find it…
But the PAYOFF is worth it!
You see, its root is a detoxifying hero for your liver… as a 2015 in vivo study showed how it boosts the activity of certain detoxification enzymes in your digestive system.
But that’s not all…
Because black radish root can also STIMULATE the secretion of digestive juices…
And BOOST the flow of bile, which can help BEAT BACK issues with the bile duct.
All of these functions contribute to black radish’s ability to help your body metabolize fat…
And, as a result, keep your cholesterol levels BALANCED.
Why is that important to your digestion?
Because cholesterol can contribute to the formation of gallstones!
Spanish black radish doesn’t just PREVENT gallstones from occurring in the first place…
It can actually help DISSOLVE them!
A group of sulfur-like compounds called glucosinolates contribute to the strong flavors AND the health benefits of cruciferous veggies like radishes.
But scientists have found 4X the amount of glucosinolates in Spanish black radish, compared to its cruciferous cousins!
That explains why Spanish black radish carries a particularly PUNGENT odor and flavor.
Specifically, Spanish black radish contains glucoraphasatin… which is present ONLY in radishes… and glucoraphanin.
And the best way to get an OPTIMIZED dose… in the EXACT form your body needs to use it properly… is by taking a supplement.
Choose one from a quality maker you trust, like Swanson Vitamins or Solaray.
If you can’t find Spanish black radish at your local health food store, they should be able to order it for you. Otherwise, you can search for it online.
