The process of digestion begins in the mouth and is
completed in the large intestine. It occurs as food is taken
in, broken down, sorted and re-processed—all in an effort
to convert it into a usable, absorbable form that can be
circulated throughout the body to nourish cells and create
energy.
The major organs of the digestive system include the
mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder,
small intestine and colon. Each of these organs works in
a unique way, but they share a common purpose: to help
digest food and absorb nutrients. These exist in the form
of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Each nutrient type
is handled by the digestive system differently, and each
gets broken down at a different point during the digestive
process; but all are aided by the presence of enzymes.
Digestive enzymes are organic substances that speed up
the chemical reactions that break food down into smaller,
more usable particles. Without enzymes, body functions
would happen too slowly to sustain life. Some enzymes
are produced by the body, and others come from the foods we eat.
This system is subject to many weaknesses and inadequacies.
These include digestive transit times that may be too fast or too
slow, a lack of sufficient enzymes and probiotics, and a deficiency
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Luckily, we can combat these
through diet, exercise, adequate water and fiber intake, regular
detoxification and supplementation.
Since there are more organs in your digestive system than in any
other, it makes sense to support them with quality supplements.
The Digestive Pack from Nature’s Sunshine combines one
each of these products:
Food Enzymes provides a blend of the enzymes needed to break
down proteins, carbohydrates and fats, as well as hydrochloric acid
and bile salts to aid the digestive process. These enzymes can also
help prevent or relieve occasional indigestion.
Bifidophilus Flora Force® is recommended for daily use to
maintain a healthy balance of friendly flora within the intestinal
tract. These beneficial microorganisms help the body break down
food into easily absorbed nutrients and they promote immunity.
Gastro Health® Concentrate offers nutritional support for the
stomach. The ingredients in this proprietary formula may help
inhibit the growth of unwanted invaders. In addition, Gastro Health
can help soothe stomach irritations and relieve occasional associated
stomach discomfort.
