Micronutrient therapy
| Aid digestions - supplied enzymes | |
| One of the most common causes of digestive problems in the sense of maldigestion is exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The symptoms respond well to enzyme supplement, to support protein, carbohydrate and fat digestion and improve the digestive process. Enzymes that support digestive performance include pancreatic enzymes (pancreatin) as well as plant enzymes from pineapple (bromelain) and papaya (papain) and lactose-degrading lactase. | |
| Supports the liver – stimulates digestion | |
| Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is one of the phytodrugs in which strong choleretic (bile-forming) and cholagogue (bile-emptying) effects are known. Its bitter substances stimulate gastric, bile and pancreas secretions which generally stimulates and promotes the digestive processes Ginger (Zingiber officinalis) is often used therapeutically for dyspeptic complaints and as an effective herbal antiemetic. The pharmacological compound gingerol zingiberene and zingiberol have spasmolytic, cholagogenic and carminative properties. |

| Compensates for drug-related micronutrient deficits | |
| Dyspeptic complaints are often treated with drugs (PPIs) to reduce gastric acid production. These lead to a disturbance in the absorption or excretion of micronutrients such as magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin D. Therefore, the intake of these micronutrients should be considered in patients taking PPI therapy. |
