OPTIMAL 1 DIGESTION FORMULA, 90 CAPS - OPTIMAL HEALTH SYSTEMS
Optimal
1 Digestion Formula is a three-pronged approach to balancing your
digestive system, combining enzymes, probiotics, and target-specific
chelated minerals.
Optimal 1
Digestion
contains
the full compliment of enzymes needed to break down the typical
American meal - but, unlike enzyme-only formulations, Optimal 1
includes the probiotics (or flora) necessary to help assimilate and
absorb the nutrients and a unique delivery system to ensure that they
are metabolized and used in the body. Optimal 1 also contains a
specific mineral blend that peer review research shows increases the
absorption of carbohydrates and protein by 50 percent. In addition,
Optimal 1 effectively combats lactose intolerance by including the
friendly bacteria that make lactase.
Digestion:
The #1 Priority
The
only complete formula for complete digestion. Indigestion can be
distressful, annoying, even dangerous, especially when ignored or
treated incorrectly. Antacids and acid blockers stop digestion, which
only adds to the problem! Cooked and processed foods rob the body of
enzymes and other nutrients needed for complete digestion and
absorption. The body considers digestion a top priority. Other
processes, including the immune system, energy production and even
brain function, all wait while the body digests food. When digestion
is functioning properly, food is broken down and nutrients are made
available by the body itself for repair, metabolism, and healing
without undue stress on the body. Unfortunately, the way our foods
are grown and processed, toxins in the environment, and even stress,
anger and many other factors wreak havoc on digestion. The result is
that many Americans experience digestive problems, from ongoing
symptoms of bloating and gas, to diarrhea, stomach cramps or the more
severe digestive disorders.
Enzyme
Deficiency
Most often, digestive problems are a sign of enzyme
depletion. Enzymes are not only crucial to digestion; they are the
catalysts that allow the body to breathe, reproduce, and generate
energy. Nothing in the body works without enzymes. Life itself
depends on enzymes. Yet, virtually every individual is deficient in
these vital protein molecules. Stress, caffeine, alcohol and even
extreme weather conditions all destroy enzymes. The most serious
threat to our enzyme supply is cooked and processed foods. Raw foods
contain enzymes that help break them down in the digestive system
However, the cooked foods that make up the bulk of the modern diet
are devoid of enzymes; so, the body must constantly draw from its
limited supply of digestive enzymes. As this supply is depleted, in
order to accomplish digestion, the body must rely on metabolic
enzymes. When this occurs, other bodily processes are compromised,
disease is more common and aging is more pronounced. Dr. Edward
Howell, who spent over forty years studying the effects of enzymes on
health said, "Humans eating an enzyme-less diet use up a
tremendous amount of their enzyme potential in lavish secretions of
the pancreas and other digestive organs. The result is shortened life
span (65 years or less as compared with 100 years or more), illness
and lowered resistance to stress of all types, psychological and
environmental.
Research
proves that environmental stressors such as pollution, toxins from
processed foods, and stress effect critical digestive hormones that
are necessary for proper digestion. A fascinating feature of the
digestive system is that it contains its own regulators. The major
hormones that control the functions of the digestive system are
produced and released by cells in the mucosa of the stomach and small
intestine. These hormones are released into the blood of the
digestive tract, travel back to the heart through the arteries, and
return to the digestive system, where they stimulate digestive juices
and cause organ movement. These hormones are damaged by environmental
factors from pollution, processed foods and stress. The Optimal
Digestion formula has followed the research that shows lifestyle
stressors deplete the balance of these critical hormones and have
added nutrients to support them for increased digestion.
Each
of these nutrients in specific amounts help balance and control
gastrin, which causes the stomach to produce an acid for dissolving
and digesting foods. It also is necessary for the normal growth of
the lining of the stomach and colon. Secretin is another hormone that
is balanced by the newly added nutrients. Secretin causes the
pancreas to send out a digestive juice that is rich in bicarbonate.
It stimulates the stomach to produce an enzyme to digest protein
(pepsin). It also helps stimulate the liver, which is generally
compromised by many stressors. The last hormone being overly
bombarded by environmental stressors, which is addressed with the
advanced Optimal Digestion formula, is CCK. CCK regulates the growth
of the pancreas and production of pancreatic juice. Besides
regulating these critical digestion hormones, the added nutrients
also help with numerous other aspects of digestion.
Optimal
Digestion also includes probiotic strains that are proven to colonize
in the intestines even at extreme acidity and high temperatures.
These strains of flora are stabilized and can survive the harsh
environment in the digestive system even with all the toxins
bombarding us today. These special strains of flora DDS-1 and L. Plantarum are proven to still be viable at well over 110F. This
guarantees the flora can colonize in the intestines and aid in proper
digestion.
OPTIMAL 1
Digestion Formula to the Rescue
Even if you eat nutrient-rich
foods, you can be feeling the effects of starvation! Your body may be
starving for nutrients and you may be experiencing conditions like
bloating, decreased energy, premature aging, lowered immune response,
and even weight gain if your digestion is compromised and you are
unable to break down your food to useable energy. The most effective
digestive aid ever developed. Optimal 1 provides EVERY nutrient
needed for digestion, including plant enzymes and minerals to break
the food down into useable constituents and friendly bacteria to aid
in assimilating those constituents into the bloodstream. As the
research shows, you may well be starving yourself by eating
enzyme-deficient cooked and processed foods. Fight back with Optimal
1- Digestion Formula and feel the benefits of Optimal Health today.
Take Optimal 1 with each meal to ensure digestion and assimilation. .
