Digestex

Digestex is a Triple Action Digestive Support.

It contains traditional herbs for:

  • Relief of digestive discomfort.
  • Stimulation of digestive secretions.
  • Digestive muscle function

Clinical Benefits:

Digestex provides digestive support with traditional western herbs to relieve symptoms such as bloating and stomach discomfort. Meadowsweet, traditionally used to soothe and protect the gastrointestinal tract is combined with carminative and anti-spasmodic herbs to help relieve intestinal spasm by relaxing intestinal muscles.

It stimulates digestive secretions with bitter herbs such as dandelion and gentian. Gentian has traditionally been given orally to increase saliva, gastric and bile secretions. Bitter herbs do not need to be tasted to stimulate upper digestive function as they activate taste receptors located throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Taste receptors hormonal and neuronal signalling may help to regulate stomach function and acid production. Activate gastrointestinal bitter receptors are also thought to indirectly improve the elimination of absorbed toxins from the gut.

Digestex assists in the digestive muscle function. Ginger is used to stimulates gastric muscle contractions, for improved digestive transit time.
