Probiotics, Fibres & Digestive Health

When the food we eat is not properly digested and absorbed we can develop symptoms of nutritional deficiency. To use the phrase 'you are what you eat' is not strictly true; 'you are what you absorb' is probably more accurate.

A significant proportion of the nutrients in our diet never get absorbed into the body. By maintaining a clean and healthy digestive system, absorption of nutrients can be improved.

The ability to digest macro nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) depends on the efficient production of digestive enzymes. For some people production of these enzymes is ineffective and a supplement containing digestive enzymes may be just what is required to reduce that bloated feeling.

There are three main product groups of Digestive Health, these are general digestion, pre & probiotics, digestive enzymes and fibres and cleansers.
