Some simple steps to improve your Digestion:
- The gut comprises the small intestines and the large intestines.
- The Small Intestine is about 6.5m long and is a primary section of our digestive system and many nutrients enter our blood stream here. Hundreds of species of friendly bacteria called Lactobacillus reside here and our digestive process does not function properly without sufficient levels
- The Large Intestine is where many nutrients and most fibre and liquids are absorbed. Another friendly bacteria, Bifidobacteria, is resident here
- These friendly bacteria enhance the health of the digestive process and to facilitate the production of additional nutrients that help support the immune system. An insufficient amount of friendly bacteria we can cause an overgrowth of detrimental candida albicans that disrupt nutrient absorption and allows unpleasant allergens to enter our blood stream
It is estimated that of those consuming a “western diet” about one third experiences candida overgrowth resulting in a lower absorption of nutrients. The following are recommended:
-
The Probiotic formula consists of nine strains friendly bacteria that improve the health of our digestive system, contribute positively to the immune system, and allow the body to manufacture vitamins. They also help prevent an overgrowth of detrimental candida
-
The Vitamin B complex consists of 15 nutrients that have an anti-oxidant function. Vitamin B nutrients help reduce toxic materials being formed due to excessive stress within the gut. Vitamin B2 may help with gastric ulcers, B6 may help with some food intolerances. B Vitamins are best taken in a foodstate complex because they function best together
-
Caprylic acid is well documented as beneficial to the gut. It is a part of the beneficial fatty acid group and helps with regard to ulcerative colitis and also inhibits detrimental yeasts including candida albicans
-
Bromelain is an enzyme that helps with the healing process within the gut by reducing inflammation. It breaks down protein for absorption into the body from the gut and helps remove toxic waste materials
