Digestive Aid Supplements

Digestion is the breaking down of insoluble food into small soluble molecules so that they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Once absorbed, food can then be used to keep the body going. Chewing of the food tells your body that food is coming so it can start secreting the necessary enzymes for digestion. Many people have 'sluggish' digestive systems due to not chewing food properly, eating too quickly, food intolerances, bad diet, eating too many preservatives, not drinking enough water, medication and drinking too much caffeine and alcohol. There are many remedies that are traditionally used to aid a healthy digestive system including probiotics, prebiotics, bulking agents (fibre, psyllium husks), silica, and whey to name a few.
