Which Bulking Agent is For You?

Because of its superior lactobacteria-enhancing activity, it is desirable to use the Holistic Horizons Intestinal Bulking Agent II rather than the Special Formula Bulking Agent whenever doing so is easily tolerated in all respects. The difference between the two products may not immediately be noticeable because it takes several weeks for the lactobacteria to build up to a point where the difference may be seen. In fact, Holistic Horizons Special Formula Bulking Agent actually produces a little more bulk, and may therefore seem more effective upon initial use, but in the long run, the Intestinal Bulking Agent II or III will usually be more beneficial for most people.

There are, however many individuals who prefer to use Holistic Horizons Special Formula Bulking Agent. Some prefer its lesser diuretic activity. Some simply prefer its different taste. Mostly though, it is used by those with severe infestations of Candida parasitic yeast. Rapid growth of beneficial bacteria causes a rapid die off of Candida resulting in "die-off" cleansing reactions. These may take the form of headaches, nausea, constipation, gas, mucus discharge, and other symptoms. If you have or suspect you have Candida, you may want to start the program with Holistic Horizons Special Formula Bulking Agent. After six to eight weeks, begin using a mixture which is 10% to 25% Intestinal Bulking Agent II and the rest Special Formula. Then, every few days, increase the proportion of Holistic Horizons Intestinal Bulking Agent II or III at a rate that is easily tolerated until you are using only Holistic Horizons Intestinal Bulking Agent II or III.
