What makes Digestive Formula different from other digestive aids
Digestive Formula is a unique two-phase digestive
supplement that mimics the two primary phases of healthy digestion. In
phase one (the stomach), acidic nutrients are released from each tablet,
along with the protein digesting enzymes pepsin, papain, and bromelain, to
support the healthy acidic enzyme environment of your stomach. In the
second phase (small intestine), the tablet releases bicarbonate,
pancreatic enzymes, and bile salts – just like the gallbladder and
pancreas – to help digestion in the upper intestines. These pancreatic
enzymes are multifunctional, because they help the digestion of all foods,
including proteins, fats, and complex carbohydrates. Use of digestive
formula can help improve digestion in many people, including those who may
experience occasional indigestion or heartburn.
Supports Acid-alkaline Balance in the Digestive System
Hydrochloric acid,
produced by the stomach, plays an important role in the first phase of
digestion. Optimal digestion begins with a pH (a measure of acid/alkaline
balance) between 1 and 2, which is as strong as the acid used in car
batteries. In addition to initiating the proper digestion of protein, fat,
and carbohydrate, strong stomach acid also creates a barrier against
foreign bacteria, fungi, and parasites that may be on food that we eat.
The stomach lining is designed to withstand the strong acid generated
during and after eating; however, the esophagus is not. Various factors
may cause one to have occasional heartburn.
Antacids and acid blocking agents provide relief,
however natural methods for minimizing incidences of occasional heartburn
may be better in the long term. These include weight loss, proper
breathing, and avoiding certain foods. Frequent small meals, not eating
4-5 hours before bedtime, elevating the head of the bed by six inches, and
sleeping on the left side can also be helpful. Foods, such as chocolate,
mints and other spices with strong aromatic oils, coffee, tea, alcohol,
tobacco, and carbonated drinks have been shown to increase occasional
heartburn.
People with occasional “indigestion and heartburn” of
different types find that dietary supplementation with digestive formula
often helps promote healthy digestion. The whole process of digestion
requires more energy from the body than any other process. Hydrochloric
acid production diminishes easily under stress and also
decreases as we grow older.
Among other things, adequate levels of stomach acid
are needed for optimal absorption of minerals and vitamin B-12, as well as
for complete digestion of dietary proteins. These functions may be needed
in order to maintain the ability to make adequate amounts of stomach acid.
Time-Released Two-Phase Formula
Digestive Formula is a unique two-phase digestive
supplement that imitates and complements the primary two phases of healthy
digestion. The acidic substances, betaine hydrochloride and glutamic acid
hydrochloride (one of the amino acids) are released from phase one of the
tablet, along with the protein digesting enzymes pepsin, papain, and
bromelain. Together these help support the healthy acidic enzyme
environment of the stomach.
The pH-sensitive second phase of the tablet releases
bicarbonate, pancreatic enzymes, and bile salts to complement and support
the natural second phase (small intestinal) of digestion.
The second phase of digestion begins when food passes
from the stomach into the small intestine. As the partially digested food
enters here, its strong acidity signals the pancreas to secrete
bicarbonate along with its starch, protein, and fat digesting enzymes.
Secreted bicarbonate neutralizes the stomach acids, and raises the pH in
the small intestine to just slightly acidic (about 5.5), which is the
chemical environment in which the pancreatic enzymes work best. The
gallbladder simultaneously secretes bile into the small intestine, which
helps to emulsify dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins so that they can
be well absorbed from the intestine.
Paradoxically, if
the material coming from the stomach is not acidic enough, a weak signal
to the pancreas is generated. This prevents enough bicarbonate from being
produced, resulting in a pH that is not alkaline enough for optimal
pancreatic enzyme function.
Provides Enzymes for Proper Digestion
In addition to the different protein, fat, and
complex carbohydrate digesting enzymes included in digestive formula, it
also supplies a proprietary blend of beneficial microflora in a stabilized
media including whole-leaf Aloe vera, beet root, and lecithin.

Additional Product Options To Ensure Better Health
Please note
that drinking lots of water is vital to keeping
your body and stomach in proper order. It is
recommended that an adult human should consume about 32 oz
of water minimum per day. Having a 8 oz glass of water
4 times a day is also the suggested method of doing it
correctly.
Aloevations helps you maintain a
healthy immune system, but also provides you with nutritional support to
increase your energy and endurance while promoting healthy digestion and
routine cleansing.

Testimonials: Here is what a few people had to say:
"I personally know several people who have had bad stomach
(indigestion) problems who the doctor had on an expensive prescription
($80.00 a bottle) within one week of taking digestive formula they stopped
taking their prescription.
I had been seeing a doctor for severe stomach problems and
indigestion, the doctor had been giving me this expensive prescription
medicine. The medicine wasn't working very well as I was in severe
discomfort. The doctor said there wasn't anything more he could do for me.
Then I was introduced digestive formula, this product has been a virtual
miracle for me, as I know longer suffer from indigestion or heartburn. Now
when I see ads on TV for indigestion and stomach remedies I laugh but I
also get mad, as I feel these companies are coning the American public.
These products advertised only mask the real problem which is improper
digestion, and their remedy is to give you a product which prevents the
stomach from producing what it is supposed to - stomach acid, which is
needed for proper digestion. This is criminal, I believe every adult
should take this product, it is phenomenal."

"Another woman in our church who had been
seeing a Doctor and getting prescriptions for her stomach problems. She
took digestive formula for 1 week and has thrown her prescription medicine
in the garbage. This is one excited woman. She commented "I ate Mexican
food for the first time in three years. This is an excellent product for
heartburn and indigestion. Antacids only relieves the symptoms - this
product actually helps you to digest your food better."
