During the digestion process, the body secretes essential acids and enzymes to help break down food so that it can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream and utilised as energy. Occasionally the ability to adequately produce these enzymes is impaired and our food does not get properly digested, causing discomfort, bloating and wind.
HealthAid® Digeston Plus is a unique blend of purely vegan digestive enzymes combined with fruit extracts such as Pineapple and Papaya, which are well known for their naturally occurring digestive enzymes and their function in the breakdown of food. The formula is boosted with a superior blend of 600 million viable bacterial strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium to help replenish the body’s good bacteria. Last but not least, the formulation contains Chloride in the form of Calcium chloride, which contributes to healthy digestion.
