Renew Life Digestmore contains a blend of digestive enzymes including, Protease, Amylase, Lipase, Lactase, Cellulase and others which help to break down foods so your body can utilize the vital nutrients they contain. Plus, a combination of herbs and anti-oxidants that work to soothe the intestinal tract and further enhance digestion. Enzymes are vital for life, processed and cooked foods are nearly 100% enzyme deficient and studies have shown that our bodies production of enzymes decreases as we age, making supplementation essential. Renew Life Digestmore is ideal for those concerned with digestive problems including gas, bloating, and poor absorption of nutrients.

Why Take Enzymes?
Enzymes break down and digest food so the body can use it. Fresh, raw foods contain plenty of enzymes to help with digestion, but with today’s diet of cooked and processed foods, many of the natural enzymes are cooked out. Without the enzymes needed for proper digestion, the body may not digest the valuable nutrients it needs. In addition to depriving you of important nutrients, incomplete digestion can lead to intestinal toxemia (a toxic condition in the bowel), as undigested foods can p u t refy and ferment in the digestive tract.

Why Plant Enzymes?
All bodies are different. Some people’s digestive tracts are more acid, and some are more alkaline. In unhealthy systems these can vary widely. Plant enzymes are best because they are effective in both acid and alkaline systems.

DigestMore contains a unique blend of digestive and intestinal supporting nutrients, including:
Protease - to support the digestion of proteins
Amaylase - supports the digestion of starches & carbohydrates
Lipase - Supports the digestion of fats
Lactase - supports the digestion of milk sugars
Cellulase - Supports the of fibers
Invertase -  Supports the of sugars
Malt Diastase - Supports the of carbohydrates
Pectinase w/ Phytase - Supports the digestion of beans
L-Glutamine - Supports digestion in the small intestine and help to rebuild the GI tract
Ginger - soothes digestion, nausea and aids protein digestion
Marshmallow - soothes digestion and protects intestinal lining from ulceration
Papaya - supports digestion, especially proteins
Bromelain - protein digestive aid and natural anti-inflammatory.
Gamma Oryzanol - intestinal anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.
N-Acetyl glucosamine - supports rebuilding of the intestinal lining.

Intestinal Health
The intestine is the main absorptive area of the digestive tract.  It is essentially a tube with a thin mucosal lining and lots of blood vessels on the inside and muscles around the outside.  It has its own immune tissue called GALT, or gut associated lymphoid tissue.  The inner lining is filled with little fingers, or projection of the mucosa, which greatly increases its absorptive surface.

Lying on the membrane are many friendly organisms, which help our body with the digestive process.  The small intestine attaches to the stomach.  Near it’s beginning, ducts from the liver and pancreas release digestive juices. These juices mix with the partially digested food from the stomach and continue the digestive process. Nutrients are absorbed through the thin intestinal wall and transported via the bloodstream, to where they are needed.  The liver also excretes processed toxins and fats through the bile. These substances must be carried through the intestine without being absorbed.

The remainder of the food is pushed through into the large intestine.  The main function of the large intestine is the preparation of stool for excretion.  In order to do this the digested food must be dehydrated and compacted. The last bit of nutrients may also be absorbed here.

Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body. Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called probiotics, are an essential part of digestion.  They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes.  Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal.  Many concerns like indigestion gas, bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.

Warnings: Discontinue use if abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting occurs unless directed by a physician. Do not use if pregnant, nursing, or after recent surgery.
