Think Thin Organic Bars

Think Thin Organic Bars

Dietary Needs:
Gluten Free

Think Thin Organic Bars are made with quality organic ingredients. There are 20g of protein in each bar and are gluten free. Unfortunately these bars are sweetened with maltitol which is an artificial sweetener and is used as a sugar substitute. It has 75-90% of the sweetness of sucrose. The protein used in these bars is both whey protein and soy protein. Even though these bars taste really good, they rank poorly due to the fact that they have both soy and artificial sugars.

Ortho Digestzyme

Ortho Digestzyme

Dietary Needs:
None

When it comes to poor digestion and absorbtion this product is an all star. In order to receive the nutritional benefits from the foods we eat, it is critical that the food gets digested, absorbed and eliminated. Ortho Digestzyme includes all of the essential enzymes needed for digestion and absorption for the entire GI tract. It includes Pancreatin (which is composed of three different enzymes: amylase, lipase and protease. Amylases break down starches, lipases breakdown lipids, and proteases breakdown proteins. Other enzymes include HCL, Pepsin, Ox Bile extract (which aids in the digestion of fats) Bromelain (extracted from pineapple) and Papain (extracted from papya). The combination of all of these enzymes creates powerful synergistic properties and can be helpful for many digestive issues. Do not take if pregnant or nursing. Consult your health care practitioner or physician prior to starting a new supplement.

Natural Value Organic Mustard

Natural Value Organic Mustard

Dietary Needs:
Soy Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Low Glycemic, Gluten Free

Organic Mustard, Gluten Free, Certified Kosher, Contains Triple Distilled Organic Grain Vinegar made from GMO free corn. We would love to see them use vinegar that does not come from corn, since corn is one the five most common food allergies and is in so many other products. High ranked for great flavor. Always buy mustard that contains turmeric to make sure you get the healthy anti-inflammatory properties from this powerful herb. This companies mission is to make natural and organic foods and environmentally friendly nonfood products more affordable.
