A stomach needs a normal level of acid for efficient digestion and protection against pathogenic bacteria. In some people, however, too much acid is produced or the acid escapes from the stomach into the esophagus which is not normal. Probiotic ZYMAFLORA supports a healthy digestive process and helps maintain normal levels of stomach acid.
Complete Enzymatic Digestion in Stomach Supports Normal Levels of Acid Part of the normal digestive process is the breakdown of food into small particles by enzymes. Food that is not broken down in the stomach sits too long and triggers an excess amount of stomach acid. ZYMAFLORA contains 15 enzymes that digest food in the stomach.
ZYMA FLORA Survives Stomach Acid and Works in Small Intestine Undigested food in the small intestine increases bacterial fermentation, gas, and bloating and may reflux back up to the stomach, increasing acid production. Almost all complex carbohydrate and fat digestion occurs in the small intestine. Undigested fats may reflux back to the stomach and weaken the lower esophageal sphincter allowing acid into the esophagus. ZYMAFLORA enteric –coated enzymes survive stomach acid and work to completely digest carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the small intestine.
Probiotics Assist Digestion and Support Healthy Intestinal and Esophageal Function 5 Probiotic Strains
Friendly bacteria appear to play an important role in maintaining normal levels of acid in the stomach, though the mechanism of action is not completely understood. Almost all patients that take probiotics report a rapid improvement in problems with stomach acid. Friendly bacteria produce enzymes that digest food in small intestine. They also protect the mucosal lining of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine.
Probiotics support the healthy function of the intestinal wall that pushes food through in a timely manner (peristalsis). By helping to maintain normal low levels of negative bacteria, yeast and other pathogens, probiotics may help support a healthy esophageal lining and sphincter function.
FOS Fiber Supports Regular Transit and Detoxifies Bowel FOS (fructooligosacharide) FOS works synergistically with the good bacteria in the colon to promote healthy transit regularity and normal stools. A normal transit time helps prevent the blockage of food in the stomach and small intestine. A healthy colon may also prevent the reflux of negative bacteria and toxins back into the small intestine, stomach and esophagus where they could contribute to intestinal wall and esophageal sphincter damage. ZYMAFLORA contains FOS that is derived from non-GMO sugar cane or sugar beets.
Suggested Professional Use: 1 capsule during or after meals.
