Came across this today while searching for some stuff. Berneses, I remember we talked about their new body products. Did you ever get any feedback from them on the products? I'll try to follow-up with them if someone doesn't beat me to it. Huh ??? :huh:

All Giovanni body care products are formulated from a wheat

protein base, consisting of only the most carefully selected

ingredients. They contain no animal proteins, no animal byproducts,

no artificial colour or fragrances. All products contain

non-PABA sunscreen, are environmentally safe and are in every

way cruelty-free. And they smell incredible!

I know this is an old thread but wanted to add this as of April, 2008. I love the 50/50 shampoo and conditioner and the fiber waxes.

all Giovanni products are gluten free. Giovanni Golden Wheat Shampoo is

only named golden wheat, but this product has no gluten. Giovanni

I contacted the company and they told me that their products do not contain gluten, even the shampoo called "golden wheat" ... that is just a name :rolleyes:

not sure I believe.

They were also in a study about which organic products actually contained hidden chemicals. Giovanni was one of them that did. Other products like Aubrey were rated better, not containing hidden chemicals like dioxin etc.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
