If your meals are leaving you bloated & gassing, or if your body isn’t absorbing the proper nutrients it may not be the meal but actually your digestion! 
Remember, you are not what you eat, you are what you digest!

​In fact, 80% of your immune system health comes from your gut, let's set you up for success prior to every meal by taking a closer look at your digestive systems BFFs. 

Prebiotics ​

Prebiotics are dietary fibers that feed your gut friendly bacteria. They help the microorganisms in your intestines to grow and boost the benefits of your probiotics. Plus, prebiotics can improve digestion and immune health.

Probiotics

By now you’ve probably heard the buzzword *probiotic*, but what exactly is all the hype?

Well, probiotics are microorganisms (such as healthy bacteria in yogurt) that provide health benefits when consumed properly. Having probiotics in your gut helps you make the most of the nutrients that come from your food, therefore, when you eat a salad or roasted veggies, your body can better absorb the benefits from the spinach, carrots, and tomatoes.🥗

It’s also been said that probiotic supplements don’t just keep your bacteria balanced — they can also help clear your skin, keep your reproductive organs healthy, and prevent illnesses like colds and flu.

Bonus fact: Most of your energy from meals is used for digestion. With a healthier gut, you'll maintain higher levels of energy to make it through the post-lunch work slump.

Life 9® is one of our favorite delayed-release probiotic supplements that is designed to release in the small intestine and supports digestive health and gut and intestinal functions, leading to a healthier immune system.💪

Digestive Enzymes

If you are striving to eat healthy, nutrient rich food you probably expect to see some positive results, right? Of course! But if your digestive tract is lacking key components to actually absorb all those rich nutrients your efforts may feel like null. So, set your body up for success by taking a digestive enzyme supplement prior to your largest meal!

Quick refresher: Enzymes are chemical reactors that work inside your cells to promote growth. Essentially, a cell can’t function without them, and since there are around 37 trillion cells in your body, enzymes are pretty important. A digestive enzyme targets your gut health and aids in breaking down & digesting fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates. 

​They make a great secret weapon when you have one too many goes at the party buffet table. Our favorite? Essentialzyme!

Each caplet contains a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and support healthy pancreatic function.
