Digesta-Lac

Product Details

STEP THREE - The All Natural Digestion System. Digesta-Lac is step three in Natren's easy-to-use three-step system for optimal internal wellness. Digesta-Lac contains Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-51 super strain, 2 billion cfu per 1/2 teaspoon. Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-51 super strain is the natural microorganism found in selected Bulgarian style yogurt that helps the body digest food more efficiently. Digesta-Lac works in conjunction with Natren's other Healthy Trinity components: Megadophilus and Bifido Factor. Proper Digestion – A Key To Health.. The Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-51 super strain in Digesta-Lac actually travels along with the food as it's being processed, to naturally aid digestion while deterring harmful bacteria. . It maximizes the body's ability to complete the digestion process and may discourage the use of intestinal stimulants and antacids. Digesta-Lac is available in powder form or cherry and pineapple flavored chewable wafers.. This beneficial bacteria may help maintain our natural electrolyte balance, particularly as we age and become less active.. Lactobacillus bulgaricus produces lactase, the enzyme which breaks down lactose in our digestive tracts, so it is helpful to those who are lactose intolerant.. Lactobacillus bulgaricus was named by Dr. Metchnikoff, after the long-lived healthy Bulgarians who consumed this bacteria in their daily diet of Bulgarian yogurt.. Digesta-Lac is cultured with super strain LB-51, which, according to 30 years of Bulgarian research, is one of the most beneficial strains of the 450 known bulgaricus strains.. Nutritional Actions: . . Nutritionally helps to deter yeast overgrowth (candida) from the large intestine up into the small intestine.. Helps to stimulate regularity. . Aids in lactose metabolism and enhances the digestion of milk products. . Encourages an acidic intestinal environment which strongly inhibits less desirable microorganisms. . Contributes to the growth and viability of the beneficial resident microorganisms (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium. bifidum, etc.) by supporting their growth and activity. . Helps the body digest complex carbohydrates and proteins. Bulgaricus is very proteolytic, therefore it can easily break down proteins. . Helps to increase the bio-availability of minerals, especially calcium. The absorption is doubly important in lactose-intolerant individuals who may also experience a deficiency of dietary calcium.. May also produce antimicrobial substances antagonistic to various bad bacteria.. The transient microorganisms play a major role in detoxifying potentially hazardous bacteria which travel through the gastrointestinal tract. Digesta Lac wafers help suppress runaway appetite by seeing to it that valuable nutrients get into the bloodstream. Digesta Lac helps digest proteins and decompose certain food components in fecal matter. The wafers also help deter undigested food particles from fermenting in the intestines. L. bulgaricus can take two weeks to travel through the intestines, during which time it helps to make the environment more acidic by lowering the pH in the colon. L. bulgaricus is the most potent producer of much needed lactic acid and this forms a hostile environment for pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria. This is very important for good bowel health.. . Digesta Lac also serves as a tremendous digestive aid without interfering with natural digestive processes. They can relieve acid reflux and calm gastrointestinal pains induced by various intestinal disorders. Digesta Lac wafers help the body release its excess water in bloating by aiding the relief of toxins..

Ingredients

Viable culture base of non-fat milk and whey containing Lactobacillus bulgaricus, super strain LB-51. Added benefits from the natural supernatant (culturing medium) are maintained by Natren's proprietary Trenev Process. Contains no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.

How the bacteria are grown: Natren has found that Lactobacillus bulgaricus produces the best results when grown in a dairy base, because if it is dairy-free, the bacteria forgets how to break down complex milk proteins and stops producing lactase, an enzyme essential for lactose intolerance. In other words, the growth medium encourages the bacteria to do its best work for us.

Potency Guarantee: 1/2 teaspoon contains a minimum of 2 billion cfu of viable bacteria through the printed expiration date when the storage conditions stated on the label are maintained.
