Shijimi (Corbicula Extract)

Size: 120 capsules/ 500mg each

Brief Product Description

What Is It? Corbicula clam extract. Shijimi is the powdered extract of Corbicula clams from Japan

What does it do? Shijimi is an ideal resource of protein and helps to restore cells. It helps to detoxify the liver and helps in the fight against liver disorders, such as chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. The liver works as a filter for the body and accumulates many toxins. By the time you show any symptoms of liver dysfunction, it is usually too late for treatment. There are no drugs to cure liver diseases, so we must rely on food therapy as treatment for liver problems or a preventive measure.

Detailed Product Description:

How does it work? Shijimi Corbicula clam extract helps the liver to function at its best and cleanses the liver of all toxicants that inhibit its function.

Special notes about the product: Shijimi Extract is produced in Japan by the pioneer company that has been making this high-quality product for over 120 years. This product is very unique and is not mass produced. First, the clams are boiled for one hour and the meat and shells are removed.

Testimonials:

"A year ago my father was diagnosed with a liver disease. His health was in a pretty bad condition. Amy Swei, L.Ac, who has a degree in herbal medicine, told me about the use of clams in Japan to treat liver disorders. She searched online and she told me about Kenshin's Shijimi (Corbicula Clam Extract).

My father has been taking this product since November of 2007 and it's amazing that in only a couple of months we can see that is working for him. He is following a diet and will continue taking the Shijimi. We are so happy that my father's health is getting better now and his last blood test was much better. It was even a surprise for his family physician. We recommend this product to our friends and family because we believe that it really works."

"I manage a small company in Osaka and often host customer functions leading to substantial alcohol consumption. A friend told me about Shijimi and its benefits for liver function so I decided to try it.

10 months later I had my regular health check-up. My nurse was surprised at how much lower my AST and ALT levels were since last year. I told her about Shijimi and I have continued to use it ever since."

"I've been conducting studies and research about health foods and herbal medicine for over 20 years now. Recently I was told by many that Shijimi has amazing function (or action) to our liver. I decided to do my own research and the result was amazing. Shijimi has an amino acid score of 100, high-quality protein, taurine, vitamins and minerals.

Shijimi is an excellent food source for these nutrients in our diet. When we eat high-quality protein we need to have these vitamins, minerals and taurine to absorb the protein effectively into our body. In other words, our body cannot absorb protein nutrition unless we take vitamin supplements everyday. 'Medicine and one's daily food are equally important in making a sick body well.'

There are many Shijimi extract products on the market, but it is important to know how they were processed and made. Kenshin Shijimi is cooked for more than 20 hours in a very traditional way of processing. In this process all the nutrients from Shijimi will seep out to become real Shijimi extract. Freeze dried coffee never tastes the same as grounded coffee bean. The same is true of Shijimi extract. I truly recommend this Shijimi extract."

"I am feeling better these days and am going to work everyday. I started taking Shijimi when I found out my ALT was very high around 800, though I do not drink any alcohol.

I talked about this with my sister and she told me to take Shijimi. She and her husband are taking Shijimi also. She told me that this Shijimi extract is the best quality. I've been taking Shijimi extract for about four years now, and my ALT is now in a normal range. Thank you very much."
