*1. The Butt it Out™ - Capsules - 90 caps - 30 day supply - Use for 3 months.

Butt it Out™ is allowed by the Canadian Government to make the medical claim: 'Traditional Herbal Medicine to Help you Quit Smoking' The active ingredient is lobelia inflata. Lobelia mimics the effects of nicotine but is non-addictive. In smoking cessation, its use as a replacement for nicotine helps the smoker by reducing withdrawal symptoms and the desire to smoke.

How it works....the active ingredient of this herbal medicine mimics the effects of nicotine by stimulating the preganglionic nicotinic receptors and depressing them. The action closely resembles that of nicotine but is milder and non-addicting. Butt it Out™ is considered to be Mother Nature's alternative to nicotine replacement products. In layman's terms, the active herbal ingredient of this medicine, fools the body into thinking that you are smoking when you are not!

This medicinal herb actually BLOCKS nicotine from reaching the brain's nicotine receptors, where the NICOTINE HIGH comes from! Scientists have proven that nicotine affects the brain and it is here where nicotine must be beaten. Our formula does just this without the use of chemicals. This all natural herbal formula supports the smoker in times of stress, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, and when other withdrawal symptoms, both physical and psychological, test the smoker. The main ingredient is also recognized as an appetite suppressant......good news for those people who are concerned about weight gain when they quit smoking.

Take 3 capsules daily. We recommend that you take 1 capsule a half-hour before each of your 3 daily meals. Many smokers find that their worst cravings for nicotine occur after they eat and this is why we make this recommendation. As smoking is one of the toughest addictions to conquer, we recommend that you continue taking the medicine for 3 months. The longer you are free of the nicotine, the better your chances of staying quit! This also gives your body some time to naturally expel the toxins and pollutants received from smoking.

* The capsules contain 130 mg. of lobelia inflata in a base of certified organic brown rice flour.

* If you have a medical condition it is wise to consult a doctor before using any herbal medicine.

*You should take them for at least 3 months. This will give your body time to naturally expel the nicotine and other smoke pollutants it has stored up over the years of smoking, giving you a better chance to remain nicotine free! 

*If you continue to smoke you might experience lightheadedness, dizzy spells or nausea. You might experience these symptoms anyway, as they are common with the withdrawal process. If you really must light up a cigarette, then maybe you are not ready to quit. Stop taking the medicine for a few days until you can make a stronger commitment. We know that it is truly hard to quit and it might take you a few attempts. It is very important to set a Quit Date and to stick to it. You'll feel much better if you do.

*Do not use Butt it Out™ with the nicotine patch or nicotine gums otherwise you will be defeating the whole purpose of this medicine. 

*Many people have called us and said they found it easy to quit smoking using Butt it Out™. Each person is different in regards to the withdrawal symptoms they experience. We can say that the active ingredient of this medicine is proven to ease withdrawal symptoms in general. It is also proven to be a stress reliever, a cough reliever, a respiratory stimulant, an expectorant and an appetite suppressant.

*The active ingredient of Butt it Out™ is very similar to nicotine in its physiological effects but it is milder than nicotine and non-addicting. We ask that you talk to your physician before starting the capsules. Herbal research has been very limited in regards to how the fetus might react to various herbal medicines. Nicotine in any form can cause harm to your unborn baby and because this herb 'mimics' nicotine, we feel this recommendation is sound.
