Triple action digestive support.
Contains traditional herbs for:
- Relief of digestive discomfort. Digestex provides digestive support with traditional western herbs to relieve symptoms such as bloating and stomach discomfort. Meadowsweet, traditionally used to soothe and protect the gastrointestinal tract is combined with carminative and anti-spasmodic herbs to help relieve intestinal spasm by relaxing intestinal muscles.
- Stimulation of digestive secretions with bitter herbs such as dandelion and gentian. Gentian has traditionally been given orally to increase saliva, gastric and bile secretions. Bitter herbs do not need to be tasted to stimulate upper digestive function as they activate taste receptors (TASR2) located throughout the gastrointestinal tract. TASR2 hormonal and neuronal signaling may affect the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile helping to regulate stomach function and acid production.
- Digestive motility. Ginger stimulates antral contractions, reduces postprandial antral area, and accelerates gastric emptying. Animal studies indicate that ginger contains a combination of spasmogenic (cholinergic) and spasmolytic (calcium antagonist) constituents to support gastric motility and aid digestion.
Adults: Take 1 tablet twice daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
