Vita-Fit Multi Digestive is a unique formula containing a broad range of enzymes and herbs that help support the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fibre.
NB: This formula has been updated. It now contains Ginger & no longer contains Nettle leaf. Also the quantities of some of the other enzymes has changed slightly.
Digestive enzymes are needed by the body to breakdown the complex foods we eat into small molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
The pancreas produces the three major enzymes involved in fat, protein and carbohydrate digestion. The pancreas seeks to conserve valuable enzymes by recycling them, but in some situations supplementation is necessary. Supplementation has a sparing effect on the body’s own digestive enzymes, reducing the overall stress on the pancreas. Incomplete digestion of proteins creates a number of problems for the body including the development of allergies and formation of toxic substances produced during putrefaction (the breakdown of protein material by bacteria).
Proteases secreted in the pancreatic enzymes are largely responsible for keeping the small intestine free from parasites (including bacteria, yeast, protozoa and intestinal worms).
Symptoms of digestive enzyme insufficiency include: indigestion, flatulence, burping, constipation, diarrhoea and bloatedness with meal.
