Digestive Enzymes and Detox

Adequate digestion is very much misunderstood and very much under rated by both traditional medicine and the average person. Digestive complaints rank no. 4 for OTC products purchased. TV ads are inundated with Pepto Bismal, Pepcid AC and the famous purple pill that allows you to eat very poorly and not feel any side effects from it! This is misleading because over the long haul, these medications interfere with healthy digestion making your problem worse, contributing to major disease.

A healthy GI tract is much more than a tube that funnels food through your system. Your intestines are a major contributor to your immune system, mood (there is more serotonin, feel good chemical, produced in your bowel than in brain!) and also where nutrients get absorbed to be filtered and used in the liver for complex and vital functions in the body. This is where toxins are bound up and released – or not – depending upon the health of the bowel.

So to keep it simple, take enzymes. Enzymes are one of the single most important supplements. Stress, age, processed food, sensitivities all interfere with the body’s ability to break down and absorb food. Our product is a comprehensive formula especially for people/children with dairy and wheat problems. Our Enzyme Complete formula is one of the best. I say that from experience and after seeing hundreds of people benefit.
