EHL: The Essentials of Healthy LivingSM
Digestion
Ideal digestive function is at the core of good health. Not only does our digestive system break down and absorb nutrients, but it also houses 60-70% of the immune system. Digestive complaints such as constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, bloating, and reflux, are each important symptoms that should be examined for the root cause. If not resolved, digestive problems can lead to the development of serious health conditions. Fortunately, there are many nutritional supplements that can improve digestion naturally.

Essential Products for Healthy Digestion
Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes are necessary for digestion and absorption of food. Adding more enzymes to your diet is beneficial due to the destruction of enzymes in the cooking and/or processing of foods. Enzyme deficiencies can result in poor absorption and other health problems. Pathway DIGASE contains the full compliment of enzymes complimented by gentian root, caraway seed, and ginger root to support digestion. This unique product is formulated to provide as much as 80% of the digestive elements needed for the typical meal.
Fiber
Fiber is essential to healthy digestion. Pathway’s CLEARFIBER™ contains clinically studied, partially hydrolyzed guar gum (water-soluble fiber) found to have numerous health benefits. In terms of supporting a healthy digestion, it increases intestinal beneficial bacteria growth, decreases symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and promotes healthy bowel movements. CLEARFIBER™ easily dissolves in foods and beverages and gives no added taste.
