Wellness Resources® Digestive HelperTM contains high potency, pure plant enzymes for digesting all types of food.* Our many years of experience have shown that plant enzymes are the top choice for assisting digestion.* This unique enzymes are active over a wide pH (3 to 9), and work in the upper portion of the stomach for a full hour after a meal has been eaten.*

Unlike other enzymes such as hydrochloric acid or pancreatic enzymes, our enzymes are designed to assist digestion of a very broad array of foods.* The proteases digest protein. The amylase, glucoamylase, invertase, maltase and lactase digest carbohydrate and sugars.* Lipase digests fats. Cellulase breaks down fiber.*

Many of the symptoms of indigestion (gas, bloating, heartburn) may be caused by a lack of digestive power.* In such cases the acid and alkali components of food may begin to react and form gas - which also may result in bloating.* Incompletely digested food may "back up" causing heartburn.* Oftentimes, a boost of digestive power will help get the whole process on track.*

In addition to our enzymes, we have added various herbs (DGL, ginger, and slippery elm) that are soothing to the digestive tract.* Ginger also helps bring warmth and circulation to the digestive tract.* This combination is helpful for individuals in weakened condition or those who lack appetite.*

Digestive HelperTM is also specialty digestive aide, providing a comprehensive approach to breaking down protein more efficiently by providing a mix of protease enzymes that are active at different pH (3.0, 4-5, and 6.0) along with a unique peptidase enzyme.* This may help individuals improve their tolerance to various foods.* It is especially helpful in issues of poor digestion, where the natural process of digestion may be lacking the enzyme energy to properly break down the proteins in foods that are eaten.*

Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye, and outs. It is composed of two sometimes difficult to digest proteins, gliadin and gluten. Our special peptidase enzyme helps to break down the proline-containing peptides found in these proteins, along with our specialty proteases.* Our product is also designed to assist in the break down of the common dairy protein (casein).*

By using digestive enzymes to help break down food more completely, food sensitivity is less likely.* Other synergistic nutrients that help boost digestive competence are Strengthener PlusTM, Super B-Complex, and GI & Muscle HelperTM.* GI SootherTM is another popular remedy for mild heartburn.*

Digestive enzymes are typically taken before eating, 1-3 per meal. Higher amounts are used as helpful. Some common times to use these enzymes are if you are eating a larger meal, if you are rushed when eating, if you are stressed when eating, or if you are tired when eating.* All of these situations make normal digestion more challenging and our enzymes may be able to help.* Some people find they like taking the enzymes after eating, or if you start noticing some signs of indigestion after a meal you can simply try using them as needed.*
