Digest Gold - 180 Caps

Digest Golddiffers form regular Digest in a couple of important ways. First, it contains four more enzymes than Digest. These enzymes help with digestion of soluble and insoluble fiber, along with beta-glucan and carbohydrate metabolism.

The second difference is the increase in active units. Digest Gold is approximately three times stronger than Digest in most categories.

The reasons for the above differences are simple. Regular Digest is designed and recommended for individuals who want to fully benefit from the nutrients in the foods they consume, decrease the amount of energy the body utilizes in digestion, increase enzyme potential and support all functions of the body with a high quality digestive enyzme blend.

Digest Goldon the other hand, is formulated to address the more serious health issues not associated necessarily with digestion. When stress is reduced to the system responsible for breaking down and assimilating the foods consumed, more energy and thus more metabolic enzymes are made available to other systems of the body responsible for overall health. This includes but is not limited to the immune system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, nervous system, etc.

Digest Goldis a good choice for people who are lipase deficient. It contains 3000 FCCFIP (active units) of the enzyme per capsule. Liapse is the enyzme responsoble for breaking down fats, lipids and triglycerides.

What is TheraBlend?

Enzymedica uses an exclusiveThera-blendprocess for its protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase. This means that each of these enzymes actually represents multiple blends. For example, there are actually three proteases in the Thera-blend protease. They are blended for their ability to break down numerous bonds of protein in varying pH's. Enzymedica does this at a considerable expense. From a label description Enzymedica also sacrifices active units to provide the best blend possible. A single protease, for example, could produce more active units per milligram than a multiple protease blend, however the active pH would be narrow and the number of protein bonds it could break would be limited to one or two per molecule.

Digestive Health

Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to digestive disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and cause great strain on our organs, such as the liver and pancreas. They may also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.

Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an excited state. Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our nervous system is relaxed. Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement throughout the digestive tract. As our transit time slows there is more opportunity for the resorption of processed toxins from our food and greater chance of microbial overgrowth. Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it more difficult to pass. Our body is designed so that each time we eat a meal we have a bowel movement. Many individuals can be considered constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily.

Good digestive function is ultimately the foundation to good health. Support your body's natural digestive functions by:

• Chewing food completely.
  
• Eating several small meals daily instead of three large meals.
  
• Avoiding fluids with meals.
  
• Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
  
• Avoiding refined, processed foods.
  
• Not overeating; eat until 80% full.
  
• Taking a HCL supplement before meals.
  
• Supplementing with Probiotics.
  
• Taking digestive enzyme during or after meals.
