Loclo NSP — Fibre Powder

As recently as the 1980s, dietary fibre was seen as mere ballast. Its unique role has only lately been recognised. Today many organisations in Europe and worldwide endorse fibre in a healthy diet — among them the European Commission’s Functional Food Science in Europe (FUFOSE) programme and the FDA.

What is Loclo NSP?

To top up important dietary fibre, Nature’s Sunshine Products developed a unique product with a raised fibre content. Loclo contains as many as 16 sources of natural soluble and insoluble dietary fibre.

In scientific terms, dietary fibre is the sum of polysaccharides and lignin not digested by digestive enzymes. Gut microflora break them down — so fibre matters for normal flora function. That in turn improves intestinal motility and metabolism overall. Those are the properties Loclo offers.

Fibres are soluble or insoluble in water. The body needs both. Ideally they enter the digestive tract as a combined mix such as this NSP supplement.

Properties

In worldwide and European practice the supplement is noted for:

• improved peristalsis;
• support for digestive function in constipation and haemorrhoids;
• gentle clearance and absorption of waste and toxins;
• immune support;
• supportive role in bowel cancer risk reduction;
• helping lower cholesterol and blood sugar;
• restoring gut microflora.

Action of Loclo comes from every plant in the formula:

• fibre stimulates motility, limits fermentation in the stomach and, with gum, supports weight management;
• psyllium eases haemorrhoid symptoms;
• apple pectin — a powerful natural absorbent; takes up toxins better than charcoal;
• oat fibre acts on peristalsis and helps clear waste;
• carrot — extra fibre plus potassium for heart and vessels;
• beetroot helps lower blood sugar, improves circulation and activates the liver;
• white cabbage and broccoli help lower cholesterol;
• cinnamon eases spasms;
• turmeric stimulates intestinal function and gastric secretion;
• tomato protects vessels, including those of the intestine and stomach, helping prevent damage.

For all its benefits, do not exceed the recommended dose.

How to use

The supplement is taken with food. Stir one tablespoon of powder into one glass of cold water that has been boiled and cooled. After taking it, drink another glass of water. In cleansing or weight programmes, take Loclo 30–60 minutes before meals.

When it is used

In Europe the supplement has long been used to normalise metabolism, support weight loss and cleanse the body. Main reasons to take Loclo:

• haemorrhoids, including with nodes;
• anal fissures;
• constipation and flatulence;
• bowel cancer prevention and recovery after chemotherapy;
• excess weight and obesity;
• atherosclerosis;
• clearing the body of waste and toxins;
• intestinal dysbiosis — as a stimulant for natural microflora growth;
• lowered immunity linked to stress and digestive disease.

Before taking the NSP supplement, always confirm duration of use with a specialist or nutritionist.
