Supplements for Digestion

tea-people

Digestion is a process involving many different organs in the body, helping to break down food and drink into simpler products. This is how the body gets hold of its nutrients. Problems with digestion can cause discomfort, fatigue and stop the natural healthy flow of food coming in and out of the body. There are various different supplements that can help to alleviate these problems, including those as follows:

 

  • Ginger
  • Liquorice Root
  • Dandelion
  • Honey

 

These supplements can help to improve digestion in a range of different ways, alleviating discomfort and restoring healthy function to the digestive system.

 

Ginger

 

Ginger has been associated with numerous different health benefits, including the promotion of healthy digestion. Ginger holds a digestive enzymes that has been thought to potentially help in digestion by speeding up the rate at which food moves within the digestive tract. Studies have been conducted showing that ginger has helped to promote the rate at which food moves throughout the body in participants with indigestion and those who were completely healthy.

 

Liquorice Root

 

Liquorice root has been said to also help to promote healthy digestion through its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties. Liquorice root may be able to help in the recovery process for those with heartburn, food poisoning, and even stomach ulcers through these properties.

 

Dandelion

 

Dandelion has been used to help alleviate the symptoms that can come with digestive problems, including constipation. Dandelion root has also been shown to potentially increase the contractions within parts of the digestive tract, thereby promoting healthy bowel function. Dandelion root is also high in inulin, which research has suggested to help reduce constipation whilst also promoting movement throughout the intestines.

 

Honey

 

Honey is another supplement which may help to improve digestion throughout the body. Honey has multiple different digestive enzymes that can help to promote healthy digestion, including Invertase (helps to breaks down sugar) and Protease (helps to break down proteins). This is only the case with raw honey, as processed honey is usually heated up, which can unfortunately destroy the beneficial enzymes.
