The Kolorex Story: The microflora that cover our bodies, inside and out, occasionally got out of balance, causing unsightliness on the skin and health tissues internally. Kolorex can help restore Natures balance, naturally. The key to the difference of Kolorex is high activity specimens of the traditional New Zealand herb, Horopito. These are grown organically in their natural habitat, and each batch must pass an independent test for activity prior to use in the Kolorex range. Laboratory studies show this high activity Horopito is probably more useful than PaudAreo or Olive Leaf Extract in helping your body restore its natural microflora balance.
The plant actives in Horopito have been shown to promote a healthy microbial balance. Our normal microflora balance can be adversely affected by many factors, the most common of which are poor diet (for example a diet high in processed foods, sweet or alcoholic beverages), stress, and certain prescription drugs, in particular broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Each 1.7g sachet contains :
Horopito leaf (Pseudowintera colorata)
This New Zealand herb was traditionally bruised, steeped in hot water and applied to remedy skin problems. Both the early European settlers and Maori made a tea of the leaves for stomach upsets. Modern science has confirmed the presence in Horopito of actives that promote a healthy microbial balance*. Forest Herbs uses only Horopito that is independently laboratory verified to contain high levels of these actives. It is Horopito that gives Kolorex Mouth & Throat Care its unique hot taste and action.
