The key to being more healthy is having a healthy digestive system. Digestion controls how you absorb food and is a high priority of your body. If digestion isn't optimal, then your body isn't as healthy as it should be. Get your digestive system in shape!
Digestion vitamins are designed to nutritionally support your entire body. They use only the highest grade Whole Food Vitamins, Chelated Minerals, Probiotics, and Vegetable Enzymes, all in one amazing vitamin! Your health is worth everything. Start treating it right, and give your body the nutrients needed to support optimal health. Learn all the ways a digestive vitamin nutritionally supports the body.
Whole food supplements are foods that have been dried and poured into capsules. “Whole” indicates that the end product — the supplement — does not contain parts of foods or isolated vitamins.
Most brands of supplements available today are made from synthetics These "vitamins" are chemical compounds that have been manufactured in laboratory to copy the molecular structure of natural vitamins. Your body is designed to absorb nutrients from food.
The human body is not designed to consume isolated nutrients and use them effectively. It must take in a full spectrum of supporting complementary nutrients as they exist in nature. Nutrients must be coupled with an entire complex of other food constituents in order for the body to recognize and utilize them.
Chelated basically means "firmly attached". Most chelated minerals are bound to amino acid molecules, although sometimes they are bound to other organic molecules.
Proteins are polypeptide chains of amino acids, so amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are actively absorbed from our intestinal tract when we ingest them - meaning, that our gastrointestinal (GI) tract has specific receptors and carrier molecules for transporting these amino acids directly into the bloodstream.
After entering the bloodstream, the mineral is able to break free from the amino acid carrier. This process gives us double benefits:
It's through the natural process of Chelation that the majority of all Colloidal and Ionic complexes are quickly absorbed into the body, otherwise these must wait for the tidal infusions of the body to allow absorption to occur, a passive process which is prone to many difficulties.
Probiotics are dietary supplements or foods that contain good bacteria normally found in the body. They are live microorganisms that may beneficially affect your body upon ingestion by helping the balance of the intestinal microflora. Microflora reinforce the barrier function of the intestinal wall and aid in digestion.
Intestinal microflora are important for maturation of the immune system, the development of normal intestinal morphology and in order to maintain an immunologically balanced inflammatory response.
Research is limited and only preliminary results are available but some of the potential benefits may be:
Enzymes have been described as complex substances which enable us to digest food and to absorb it into our blood. They are catalysts and as such they promote action or change without altering or changing their own status. Raw foods are very rich in enzymes. Enzymes are needed for the digestive system to work. They are necessary to break down food particles so they can be utilized for energy.
A lack of digestive enzymes can be a factor in food allergies. Symptoms of digestive enzymes depletion are:
Antacids are not a cure since they just soak up stomach acids and stop the digestion process - causing more problems later.
People who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme to break down sugars found in dairy products, so the food sits in the stomach, gets old/spoils and produces gas.
All of us loose our ability to produce concentrated digestive enzymes as we grow older (that's why older people have move gas - it's nature! give grandpa a break!).
Enzymes are found in raw foods like vegetables, but a lot of our diets today contain vegetables that have been cooked. Once the enzymes in vegetables get above 118 degrees (F), they start to rapidly break down, just as our bodies would during a fever. Once enzymes are exposed to heat, they are no longer able to provide the function for which they were designed.
Digestion of cooked food demands much more energy than the digestion of raw food. In general, raw food is so much more easily digested that it passes through the digestive tract in 1/2 to 1/3 of the time it takes for cooked food.
Eating foods void of useful enzymes places stress on the pancreas and other organs which overworks them and eventually exhausts these organs of their main function. Many people gradually impair these organs and lose the ability to digest their food after a lifetime of ingesting processed foods.
