New Retail Web Site, Devoted to Digestive Health Products and Probiotics, Launches Today. Introducing DigestiveHealth101.com

Featuring competitive prices and hundreds of products that promote a healthy lifestyle

PRESS RELEASE

Highland Park, NJ and Baltimore, MD, Sept. 16, 2015: On the eve of Natural Products Expo East, online health products retailer Lori's Earth Friendly Products today launched DigestiveHealth101.com, a retail web site devoted exclusively to natural products that promote digestive health for adults and children.

When it comes to our health, we often overlook the engine of good health: our digestive tract. Having the right balance of nutrients in our diets is key, but our busy lives often prevent us from eating the balanced diet that will achieve that balance. Therefore, a variety of products have been developed to compensate. The goal of DigestiveHealth101.com, with approximately 500 digestive health products available to order immediately, is to give consumers a one-stop destination to get what they need to keep their bodies running smoothly.

The range of products being sold at DigestiveHealth101.com includes:
• Digestive aids and enzymes
• Cleansing and detox products
• Probiotics
• Fiber products
• Homeopathic digestive aids
• Childrens' digestive products
• Kosher digestive products

"I'm thrilled with DigestiveHealth101, which represents my return to digestive health, an area that is near and dear to me," says owner Lori Resnick. "I sold high-fiber products for nearly ten years, and the most gratifying thing was to see the products I sold help resolve my customers' digestive issues. DigestiveHealth101 covers all areas of digestive health. I look forward to helping my previous and new customers to live healthier, happier lives."

"DigestiveHealth101 is taking a boutique approach, concentrating on one area of the health and wellness industry by focusing exclusively on digestive health," says Marketing Director Mason Resnick. "But we have also worked closely with our suppliers to keep prices competitive."

Lori's Earth Friendly Products has been in business since 1990. It started with natural cleaning products, then moved on to "nutriceuticals" that mostly focused on high-fiber food supplements. In 2014, Lori's Earth Friendly Products' main web site, earth-friendly.com, relaunched as a natural products superstore, with over 10,000 SKUs of natural and organic food products, supplements, home products and more.

A Sweet Year

As the Jewish High Holy Days draw near (Rosh Hashanah begins on Sunday, September 13 at Sundown) we are reminded of a sweet tradition: Dipping apples in honey, to represent the eternal Jewish hope for a sweet year.  Honey has its own eternal aspect: It never spoils (it may crystalize, but it's still good).

Physical benefits of honey

There's another reason honey can be used to represent a good year and life: It is a natural healer. A tablespoon of honey has 64 calories, and contains small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. More importantly, Honey can alleviate coughs and may reduce allergy symptoms, is a great source of energy with 17 grams per tablespoon of carbs in the form of natural, unprocessed sugar.




According to recent study in Menopause, honey may prevent brain cell damage and loss, and could boost postmenopausal womens' memory. It can cause a rise in insulin and release seratonin, improving mood and happiness. Finally, old-world healers know honey is a natural antibiotic that can treat and disinfects wounds and sores.



Manukaguard Manuka Table Honey is great for daily use (and dipping apples), while medical-grade Manuka Honey is processed for medical use such as treating wounds and internal use for boosting the body's defenses.



Lori's Earth-Friendly Products has several brands of Raw and organic honey, including Honey Gardens Apiaries Raw Honey and Wederspoon Organic Raw Beechwood Honey. They're delicious! Order now to get it by Rosh Hashanah, or for any other occasion!

Herbal Supplements and the NY Attorney General: Our Statement

This morning, the New York state Attorney General asked several retailers to halt sales of specific herbal supplements because DNA marker tests indicated that many supplements did not have the specific ingredients they claimed to have, and other ingredients that were not on the ingredient labels were detected. According to the report, just 21% of the tested supplements had DNA from the plant species listed on the labels.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says this mislabeling poses an unacceptable health hazard.

We agree.

We also encourage the government to regulate health supplements just as pharmacy drugs are tested and regulated. This could only benefit consumers of herbal supplements as they would know that they are getting what they expect. As AG Schneiderman says, "At the end of the day, American corporations must step up to the plate and ensure that their customers are getting what they pay for, especially when it involves promises of good health.”

The good news? Lori's Earth Friendly Products does not carry any of the specific brands that were tested by the Attorney General's office and found to be missing the ingredients they promise the consumer.

We urge our customers to consult with their health care professional concerning herbal supplements and alternative medicine in general and as they relate to their specific needs but honesty is key, and we applaud the AG's efforts. With proper enforcement and truthful labeling, everybody wins.
