Digestive Formula Pro, 60 capsules

Digestive formula with artichoke, ginger, cactus and olive

Digestive Formula Pro is a supplement containing two scientifically tested plant extracts with the brand names Prodigest® and Mucosave™. It contains ginger and artichoke, which are known for their positive effects on digestion in general and stomach function in particular. It is therefore ideal for people who need extra help in this area. In addition to ginger and artichoke, the product also contains a special extract of prickly pear and olive leaves.

Digestion

Digestion is the process by which food passes through the gastrointestinal tract and is broken down into smaller and smaller nutrients, which can then enter the body via the intestinal wall. Amino acids, simple sugars and fatty acids are examples of these nutrients that serve as building blocks, reserves and/or fuel in the body. These nutrients enable us to generate energy, build tissue, produce hormones and neurotransmitters and form reserve substances. As our body cannot produce them itself, most vitamins and all minerals must also be supplied through our diet. Excellent digestion is therefore crucial for maintaining optimum health. There are several plants that are known to aid digestion and the organs associated with it.

Prodigest® (ginger and artichoke extract)

The ginger and artichoke extract contained in the Pro digestive formula bears the brand name Prodigest® and comes from the Italian manufacturer and herbal specialist Indena. Ginger, a spice, is made from the rhizome of the ginger plant (Zingiber officinale). It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which also includes turmeric and cardamom. The ginger extract from Indena has a standardisation level of 2.5 % shogaols and gingerols. Prodigest® contains an artichoke extract obtained from the leaves of the artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus). This extract contains the active ingredients flavonoids (1.4 %), cynaropicrin (1.4 %) and caffeoylquinic acid (5.6 %). Human studies have shown that this particular blend of ginger and artichoke aids digestion by contributing to normal stomach function. It is ideally consumed with food and can help with a feeling of fullness in the stomach and bloating after eating. The artichoke also has a positive effect on liver function, among other things by promoting bile production. The liver plays a role in the digestion of fat by producing bile. Bile emulsifies the fats from our food by breaking them down into smaller globules so that the fat-splitting enzymes can process them properly.

Mucosave™ (extracts from prickly pear and olive leaf)

The second ingredient in the Pro digestive formula is a prickly pear and olive leaf extract with the brand name Mucosave™. It is produced by the company Bionap, which is also based in Italy. The prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) is mainly native to Mexico, but can also grow in other arid regions (such as the Mediterranean). It is known that prickly pear extract is very rich in mucilage. Mucilage contained in plants consists of polysaccharides, which have a high water absorption capacity and thus form a protective layer on the plant. Olive leaf extract (Olea europaea), which is rich in polyphenols, can be combined well with prickly pear extract.
