Gentian is an herb that is native to parts of Europe and Asia. The root has been traditionally used to support digestive function due in large part to its bitter constituents. Some traditional texts classify gentian as a bitter tonic and digestive stimulant. This is due to its ability to support the secretion of digestive enzymes. Gentian has been shown to support gastric secretion production, as well as support choleretic activity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTAPS PP7049\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doctor's Best","offers":[{"title":"120 capsules","offer_id":47176431796442,"sku":"1110606-1","price":45.3,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2702\/7418\/files\/doctors-best-betaine-hci-pepsin-and-gentian-bitters__08588.jpg?v=1764576006"},{"product_id":"now-foods-digest-ultimate","title":"Digest Ultimate","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNOW Foods Digest Ultimate \u003c\/span\u003eis a potent proprietary combination of digestive enzymes produced through controlled fermentation of select microbial species and is stable throughout the pH range of the GI tract. \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis full-spectrum digestive support formula helps to optimize nutrient absorption by assisting in the breakdown of protein, carbohydrate and fat, as well as dairy, grains and indigestible fibres found in foods such as vegetables and beans.  In addition, Digest Ultimate™ is suitable for vegetarians.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTAPS PP6684\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NOW foods","offers":[{"title":"60 vege capsules","offer_id":47176433893594,"sku":"1112290-1","price":48.4,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2702\/7418\/files\/now-foods-digest-ultimate__13208.jpg?v=1764577571"},{"product_id":"now-foods-super-enzymes","title":"Super Enzymes","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNOW Foods Super Enzymes \u003c\/span\u003eis a comprehensive blend of enzymes that supports healthy digestion.

Secondly, if you have a low level of good bacteria in your system it means that your system may not be producing enough enzymes on its own to digest food properly.  Encouraging the growth of the good bacteria encourages the growth of the enzymes so that you can continue to digest food the way you are supposed to.

Firstly, the enzymes stimulate motility (or movement) of waste gently through your digestive tract. This is a very gentle action, and unlike some other products on the market, has no nasty side effects (like cramping, spasms and diarrhoea). Secondly, the enzymes in Phloe Bowel Health vegecaps are very similar to those produced by your own digestive system helping you digest food so that waste moves more freely through the digestive tract. This enzyme digestion also aids with absorbing the optimum level of nutrients into your system from the food you eat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibre: the fibre in Phloe Bowel Health vegecaps works by providing bulk to your stool. Moisture is absorbed from your system into your stool which helps it move through the digestive tract more comfortably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrebiotics: The prebiotics in Phloe Bowel Health vegecaps aid in long term digestive health. Their main role is to provide food for the good bacteria in your digestive tract to grow while also inhibiting the pathogenic (or bad) bacteria. This process has a dual effect. Firstly, it helps restore the balance of gut micro flora and helps protect the digestive wall so it can work normally. Secondly, if you have a low level of good bacteria in your system it means that your system is not producing enough enzymes on its own to digest food properly. Encouraging the growth of the good bacteria encourages the growth of the enzymes so that you can continue to digest food the way you are supposed to. In the long run it is the prebiotics that will support the long term, proper functioning of your digestive system. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho can use Phloe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhloe can be used by anyone looking for an effective natural bowel health solution (see Directions tab for details).
