Supports Gut Health
Research is rapidly revealing the importance of gut microbiome in human health. The microbiome communicates with our cells and epigenome to support essential processes like immune function, metabolism, hormonal balance and all aspects of brain health. (1)
My Alai Multisystem Support® restores a healthy gut microbiota and supports gastrointestinal system health.
- Helps restore beneficial flora
- Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to help relieve mild inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract
- Enhances healthy digestion
- Increases bowel movements by increasing stool bulk
- Maintains adherence of beneficial bacteria to intestinal mucosa
Relieves Inflammation
Over half of Australian adults have been diagnosed with at least one chronic condition.
Research shows that inflammation is the key driver of almost every chronic condition. Inflammation also contributes to symptoms such as food intolerances, skin changes, weight gain, brain fog, sleep disturbances, mood swings and accelerated ageing.
The connection between inflammation and ageing has been termed inflammaging. Many women find that these symptoms worsen during the menopause transition, and this is due to increased activation of the inflammatory response. It is important to manage this inflammation at any stage of life. (1,2, 3, 4)
My Alai Multisystem Support® supports healthy immune system function.
- Relieves Inflammation
- Enhances immunity
- Helps relieve inflammation in the body
- Supports immune system to fight illness
- Relieves symptoms of mild allergies and hay-fever

Reduces Free Radicals
Over twenty percent of Australians have fatty liver disease, a build-up of fat within the liver that impairs liver function.
The liver is the main organ of detoxification and when its function is altered, free radicals can build up in within cells. Free radicals are molecules that damage our DNA and cell components, this damage is termed oxidative stress. Symptoms of oxidative stress include bloating, puffy eyes, food intolerances, fatigue, weight gain, brain fog and rapid skin ageing. (9, 10, 11).
My Alai Multisystem Support® contains a blend of antioxidants that reduce free radicals in the body as well as nutrients to help promote healthy liver function.
Reduces Free Radicals
- Antioxidant effects
- Reduces free radicals formed in the body
- Supports detoxification processes with Western Herbal Medicine
- Assists natural cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract and supports detoxification processes with Western Herbal Medicine
- Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to promote bile flow from the liver
Supports Metabolism
Over 65 percent of Australians are overweight or obese. These metabolic conditions increase the risk of developing a chronic condition. They also accelerate the aging process.
During menopause, when the protective effects of estrogen are lost, inflammation in the body disrupts metabolic functions like glucose and lipid balance. These changes explain the rapid weight gain and body fat redistribution women experience during the perimenopause transition. (1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12).
Nutrients are essential for almost every metabolic and biochemical reaction in the body, yet almost seventy percent of Australian consume a diet that is deficient in one or more nutrient.
My Alai Multisystem Support® prevents dietary deficiencies and supports metabolic pathways.
- Supports body metabolic rate
- Promotes energy production and thermogenesis
- Assists carbohydrate metabolism
- Supports healthy blood sugar and fats
- Helps prevent dietary nutrient deficiencies
- Helps enhance vitality and promotes general health and wellbeing
Enhances Brain Health
A healthy brain relies on healthy signals from the body.
Research shows that many aspects of brain function are regulated by signals arising from the gut microbiome, a link that has been termed the gut-brain connection.
Signalling molecules arising in the gut influence cognitive function, mood, thoughts, appetite, and adaptability to stress. In return, signals from the brain influence gut health, metabolism and hormonal balance.
Symptoms of disrupted gut-brain signalling may include brain fog, anxiety, cravings, disrupted sleep, and mood swings. It is important to support brain function with a healthy lifestyle, an anti-inflammatory diet and the addition of supplements when indicated. (17,18,19)
My Alai Multisystem Support® contains nutrients and Traditional Chinese medicines that support nervous system function and enhance brain health.
- Enhances memory and helps the body adapt to stress (adaptogen) with Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Reduces mental fatigue and overactivity with Traditional Chinese medicine.
- Supports cognitive performance, learning and information processing
- Enhances mental endurance and decreases mental fatigue with Traditional Chinese medicine
- Helps promote neurotransmission
Promotes Skin Health
Healthy skin and hair are a reflection of a healthy body and gut microbiome.
The skin receives signals from the gut microbiome, this link is termed the gut-skin connection. Signals from the gut microbiome influence the function and activity of skin cells and hair follicles as well as the skins immune and microbial cells.
The factors that have been found to disrupt gut-skin signals include a modern diet and lifestyle, environmental toxins and stress. In addition, hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy and menopause, alter the composition of the gut microbiome and disrupt the action of all cells within the skin. (4,13,14,16)
My Alai Multisystem Support® supports skin and hair follicle health.
- Helps promote collagen formation
Improves skin elasticity, strength and firmness - Reduces hair loss and thinning
- Assists nail growth and increases nail strength
- Supports healthy eye function and vision
