Beta Plus Beta Plus is a source of organic whole beet concentrate and purified bile salts. It is useful with constipation and biliary insufficiency. There's a difference between insufficiency and stasis. Insufficiency is when you have a light-colored or clay-colored stool. That is generally your first indication of insufficiency. Beta Plus is also useful in cases where the gallbladder has been removed and the symptoms of a gallbladder dysfunction are still present. With Beta Plus you want to insure that the dose is cycled so you do not become dependent upon the exogenous use of bile salts. In other words you should with one tablet with meals on the first day, two tablets with meals on the second day, three tablets with meals on the third day, and then back to one tablet. Again, go up and down with the dosage to prevent a biliary dependence on the bile salts. This cyclic dose does not appear to be needed where the gall bladder has been removed and the symptoms of a biliary dysfunction are still present. When the gall bladder has been removed, one to two tablets with each meal is generally effective. There is also some evidence in the literature that patients who have had their gallbladders removed have a significantly higher incidence of colon cancer than those who have not. Again, if the you have had your gallbladder removed, the daily use of Beta Plus is recommended.
