Many people equate the digestive system with the colon. Hence the popularity of "Colon Cleanses." When in fact, the function of the colon is closely dependent on the stomach, liver, kidneys and pancreas. When it comes to digestive health, don't focus only on the colon; focus on the entire digestive system. When one or more of the body's other systems are challenged (immune, respiratory, reproductive, cardiovascular, nervous, muscular) your body "steals" energy from the digestive system. This is why a digestive problem is often the first clue that there may be a problem in another system. When the body "steals" energy from the digestive system, it can't balance the stomach acid or produce enough enzymes for a smooth operation. Supporting the digestive system has two main purposes: 1) to improve digestion; and 2) to free up energy to be used elsewhere in the body. By supporting your digestive system, you are allowing your body to spend sufficient energy on all the other systems in your body. Stomach acid is essential in maintaining a healthy digestive system. It breaks down proteins, activates enzymes, and strengthens the acid barrier. It also helps to maintain the balance of microorganisms and flora in the colon. Betaine HCL supports your stomach's acid requirements for proper digestion. Turmeric and Fennel support optimum balance of good flora and microorganisms in the colon. Papain and pepsin are enzymes that help to break down proteins, which allows amino acids to be absorbed and transported within the body.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
