Don’t confuse Siberian pine nuts with the pine nuts you buy as an ingredient for making your own basil pesto! They are quite different and come from different varieties of pine trees (Pinus pinea or Pinus koraiensis). Unlike other pine trees, Siberian pine trees (Pinus sibirica) only produce pine nuts after 60 years. Thereafter, they produce nuts every 1-2 years (12 kg per tree) making Siberian pine nuts one of the most exclusive specialty nuts on the market. WHY IS SIBERIAN PINE NUT OIL SO HELPFUL FOR DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS? The really special ingredient is Pinolenic acid, which is found in high concentrations in Siberian Pine Nut oil. It’s been extensively researched and shown to aid in digestion, balancing out the stomach environment, preventing food from fermenting in the digestive tract. As a result, it provides effective relief for bloating, pain, reflux and other stomach problems. This is because Pinolenic acid stimulates the release of cholecystokinin (CCK) a hormone fundamental to digestion, secreted by cells in the duodenum which stimulate the release of bile into the intestine and the secretion of enzymes by the pancreas. Studies have shown that Pinolenic acid boosts the release of CCK by 60%. WHY IS CCK SO VITAL FOR DIGESTION? CCK helps the body to: increase absorption of essential nutrients increase insulin secretion stimulate the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria assists in protecting the stomach’s mucosal lining from inflammation and ulceration In addition, CCK stimulates the digestion of fat and protein and regulates the speed of digestion which plays a key role in effective digestion in the small intestine. WHAT ARE OTHER BENEFITS OF TAKING SIBERIAN PINE NUT OIL? As this is a completely natural product, it’s FREE of any negative side effects, unlike those related to antacids. The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil has a whole range of positive benefits apart from its good effect on digestion. These include: dramatically improving skin complexion and problem skin conditions, helping to lower cholesterol and benign hypertension, naturally boosting energy, the immune system and improving metabolism and weight control. Overall, it promotes support and maintains digestive balance, health and vitality! I have been taking The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil for the last six months and have found it very helpful in easing the discomfort after meals that I had been suffering. Having had a lot of issues through menopause and having gone through the trial and error process of eliminating first gluten, and then dairy from my diet I found I was keeping much better health. The downside seemed to be a lowered immune system. After a severe stomach virus I found I was still having a lot of discomfort after meals. My new dentist who is also gluten intolerant and taking this product, recommended I take the oil which improved my wellbeing dramatically. Within the first few days I noticed the difference and since then I have found my immune system has improved as well. If you have issues with your body processing food after meals I certainly recommend this product. I won’t be leaving home without it.Sue, Waitakere Learn more 30 Aug 2018 A HAPPY TUMMY MEANS A HAPPY YOU 27 Jul 2018 HELP!

In our culture of instant gratification, we’re led to believe that fast equals effective. So when it comes to choosing treatment for digestive problems it’s tempting to take the convenient approach and opt for conventional medication. And why not? It usually offers immediate relief of symptoms. Makes sense, right? However, there’s a long-term effect of treating symptoms in the short term: you don’t get to address the underlying condition that’s causing the problems and there are some serious side-effects to consider. But decide for yourself! THE EASY OPTION Many digestive ailments are treated with antacids or acid blocking medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 Blockers. Most antacid disclaimers suggest the product should be discontinued after 14 days, whilst PPIs and H2 Blockers’disclaimers state that the product should be discontinued after 8 weeks. Conventional medicines only offer short-term relief of symptoms, but do not treat the underlying issues. PPI’s and H2 Blockers suppress the body’s natural secretion of gastric juices. In addition antacids are alkaline-based and are used to neutralize stomach acid. Doing this on a regular basis increases the occurrence of food allergies. According to Professor Erika Jensen-Jarolim and colleagues at the University of Vienna “Medications that reduce acid secretion OR neutralize the acidity within the stomach may set up a situation where harmless food proteins become potential allergens, which can then trigger an immune system response resulting in an allergic reaction.” Without sufficient levels of stomach acid, the body is also unable to absorb the vital nutrients essential for normal functioning, proper digestion cannot take place and the brain, bones, immunity and nerve functions are all compromised. In addition there are a significant number of side effects of antacids: Anxiety, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Headaches, Fatigue, Kidney Stones, Hypercalcemia, Mood Swings, Muscle Pain, Nausea, Osteoporosis, Renal Failure, Rickets, Urination Frequency and Discomfort. THE OTHER OPTION Pinolenic acid – which is found in high concentrations in Siberian Pine Nut Oil –is known to help with digestion, balancing out the stomach environment and preventing food from fermenting in the digestive tract. This leads to the effective relief of bloating, pain, reflux and other stomach problems. It is a natural solution which helps the body perform optimally.

A CUSTOMER TELLS HER STORY: ‘I FELT LIKE I HAD SWALLOWED A KNIFE!’ “I’m 38 now, since I was 22 I have suffered from a peptic ulcer, gastritis, spastic colon and other stomach related issues due to stress. I was on medication for a while but couldn’t afford taking the medicine for long periods of time. I decided to eat what I like and take the consequences! Most recently I was in excruciating pain and felt like I had swallowed a knife! The pain in my stomach and behind my ribcage was excruciating, I couldn’t eat, my energy levels were low, I felt depressed and my skin had a strange and unhealthy colour. I felt so bad that I couldn’t function normally. I decided to consult the Internet where I found The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil. I went to buy it this past Friday and could feel a difference on Saturday already as I could eat without feeling severe pain afterwards. On Sunday, I noticed that my skin had a healthy glow. I couldn’t believe it! Today is Monday and I feel so much better, my stomach isn’t bloated and sensitive anymore. I can’t wait to see how I’m going to feel in another few days’ time. It’s amazing! I will recommend this product wherever I go.” Rindi Boshoff, Pretoria 30 Aug 2018 A HAPPY TUMMY MEANS A HAPPY YOU 27 Jul 2018 HELP!
