Digestive support supplements help to keep the body’s digestive system functioning in the healthiest manner possible. Digestion is the process in which food is broken down and the nutrients contained within are absorbed. Beginning in your mouth and ending in your small intestine, your digestive system can negatively impact your health if your ability to digest food becomes problematic, leading to long-term health effects if not addressed. Digestive support supplements may include glucomanna, proteolytic enzymes, acidophilus, garlic, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B complex, manganese, copper, selenium and zinc, and will support your body’s digestion process.
Benefits:
*Supports digestive system
*Promotes nutrient absorption
*Improves metabolic function
*Combats indigestion
Indigestion is a common health problem, a condition which comes and goes intermittently, and is caused by stomach acid coming into contact with the mucosal lining of your digestive tract. Many of the most common signs and symptoms that come along with indigestion are redness and swelling in the affected areas as well as pain or discomfort. Addressing this issue with certain supplements can improve your digestion and help reduce your indigestion-related symptoms.
Enzymes play an important role in the digestion process by enabling our bodies to digest and utilize all the nutrients we ingest to the greatest possible extent. Maximizing the nutrient intake is one essential part of digestive enzymes, but the elimination of toxins and the removal of built up scar tissue are vital as well. Fresh raw foods contain high amounts of enzymes, but today’s diet includes lots of cooked and processed foods, and many of the natural enzymes in fresh food end up getting cooked out in the process. If the body doesn’t have enough enzymes it may not digest all the valuable nutrients it needs. This can also lead to intestinal toxernia due to incomplete digestion, where undigested food putrefies and ferments in the digestive tract.
Our bodies require a minimum 45 essential nutrients to act as catalysts to promote absorption and assimilation throughout the digestion process. Proper metabolic functions need 13 kinds of vitamins and 20 different minerals, along with fats, carbohydrates and water. These substances are all necessary to enable the body to break down food sufficiently once consumed. It is important in this day and age of cooked and processed food to make sure the body has everything it needs to absorb and transport all available nutrients to the blood stream.
