Aid for digestive complaints
THE digestive system is a complicated system that can be disrupted by disease, diet and emotional stress. Digestive problems often result in symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, gas, stomach pain and stomach cramps. Common digestive problems, such as heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation, cause a lot of people to suffer and limit their quality of life.
Digestive complaints represent more than just an irritation or a pain. Digestive symptoms indicate that your digestive system is not functioning optimally and that means you are probably not absorbing all the nutrients you should from your food – you can see why proper digestive tract functioning is fundamental to good health.
