| Over 95 million
people in the U.S. experience some kind of digestive problem.1
According to the NIH, in 2004, direct and indirect costs of digestive diseases totaled an estimated $141.8 billion in the United States alone.2 Though many suffer, few have to. We feel that nearly all digestive complaints are caused by an inability to properly digest foods we consume. Enzymes are considered an ideal solution. Performing a multitude of functions in the body, enzymes aid everything from digestion to healthy energy levels. Taking a supplemental enzyme formula will create a foundation of wellness.* |

Soothe Digestive Distress: Enzymes are the prime movers and shakers of the digestive process, maximizing nutrient extraction, and turning the food we eat into energy. Produced by the body, and available from certain foods and supplements, they include amylase for carbohydrates, lipase for fats, protease for proteins, and cellulase for fiber. Reduced enzyme capacity and impaired digestion commonly results in symptoms of gas, bloating, and distention. A daily enzyme supplement provides the body needed support, creating the foundation of a healthy digestive process.* |

Increase Energy: When we eat a meal, we often take for granted the exhaustive process that we casually call digestion. According to Yuri Elkaim author of Eating for Energy, in most cases, up to 80% of our body’s vital energy is spent on digestion.³ Imagine if you could gain back even a small fraction of that energy! Supplemental enzymes support the breakdown and absorption of foods, freeing up enormous amounts of energy, therefore increasing physical vitality and enhancing energy levels.* |

Promote Regularity: Undigested food particles in the intestine can irritate and potentially damage the bowel wall. Given time, this irritation may reduce our digestive capacity and influence the absorption process. Supplemental enzymes will aid proper digestion, encouraging a healthy intestinal environment, helping to relieve occasional constipation and irregularity.* |
