The Gastrointestinal tract of the normal, healthy individual plays host to a large and varied population of micro-organisms. In healthy individuals, this microbial population is delicately balanced and it is only when this balance is maintained that the Gastrointestinal tract functions most effectively so, to a large extent, the individual is dependent on this microbial flora. The quality of the body`s intestinal flora is determined by the balance between the various microbial species, especially that between the two predominant groups: the beneficial bacteria and the putrefactive bacteria. Live supplements can help to support the many good and beneficial Bacteria that are an integral part of the Intestinal Tract. This formula contains live L. Acidophilus and B. bifidum which are species regarded as being beneficial.

Betaine Hcl 324mg with Pepsin. As we get older, our bodies begin to slow down and our stomachs are no exception. As we age, Hydrochloric Acid production frequently declines, but remains important for the breakdown of food in the gut. Hydrochloric Acid has several different functions; for example it sterilises the ingested food, acidifies it, activates a powerful protease called Pepsin and allows vitamin B-12 to be extracted from foodstuffs. Following the above process, food then passes into the intestines, where it is further metabolised into the various nutrients. This supplement will help to replace some of the lost acidity in the stomach, thus aiding the digestion of food, and may be favoured by those who wish to ensure a sufficiency of Hydrochloric Acid.

| Digestizyme® provides a broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes, which digest protein, fat and carbohydrates. We have chosen enzymes that are largely resistant to degradation caused by the highly acidic conditions in the stomach so that they may reach the small intestine where most digestion takes place. supplied in gelatin-free capsules. | | One tablet provides: | | Lipase | 125 I.U. | | Amylase | 5000 DU | | Protease 4.5 | 10,000 HUT | | Protease 3 | 10 SAPU | | Glucoamylase | 9 AGU | | Cellulase | 200 CU | | Bromelain | 120,000 PU | | Papain | 50,000 PU | | Enzymes are proteins which catalyse reactions with a high degree of specificity and efficiency and they are present in all living organisms. Digestive enzymes are secreted into the digestive tract to break down food matter into its component nutrients, which can be absorbed across the gut wall. If this enzyme system does not work effectively, optimal health cannot be maintained because of the failure to absorb the nutrients needed. This product provides broad spectrum (pancreatic profile), vegetable sourced enzymes which digest protein, fat and carbohydrate. Digestizyme may be chosen by: - the elderly - those recovering from an illness - smokers and alcohol consumers.

Fructo-oligosaccharides (F.O.S.) are a class of soluble fibre naturally sourced from chicory root. F.O.S. can also be found naturally in onion, garlic and Jerusalem artichoke. F.O.S. are not digested in the upper gastro-intestinal tract and reach the colon intact. Here they are used to support the health of the colon. Fructo-oligosaccharides help in 3 ways:- They maintain a high moisture content of faecal matter (reduce transit time) and lower the pH of the colon. They stimulate the natural growth of healthy, bifido bacteria by providing a "food substrate". They do not encourage bacteriodes or pathogenic micro-organisms. Through the production of short chain fatty acids, they provide an energy source for epithelial gut mucosa cells, helping to maintain optimal intestinal permeability. This natural non-habit forming fibre source is suitable for long term use and for all ages. Since Eliminex is heat stable and pleasant tasting, this product may be used in hot foods or drinks, without affecting their palatability.
