Digestive System
The digestive system serves the role of taking in nutrients, eliminating waste, and absorbing and using the nutrients we take in. The digestive system includes all the parts of your body that are involved when you eat or drink.
Supplements that May Help?
1. Probiotics
Probiotics are tiny microorganisms that deliver health benefits to their host. Our bodies rely on all sorts of microorganisms to keep things working and keep us healthy, and probiotics play a part in this. They’re the good bacteria that you actually want in your system.
They support healthy body systems from your mouth to your gut, and help control harmful microorganisms like germs. At the right levels, probiotics aid digestion and improve nutrient absorption.
Probiotics occur naturally in fermented foods and cultured milk, but you can also find probiotic supplements.
Probiotics are believed to help with digestive issues such as:
colic
constipation
Crohn’s disease
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
lactose intolerance
ulcerative colitis

2. Psyllium Husk
Psyllium is a bulk-forming laxative.
This means it soaks up water in your gut and makes bowel movements much easier and can help promote regularity without increasing flatulence. It can be used as a one-off to ease constipation, or it can be added to your diet to help promote regularity and overall digestive health.
Psyllium is a prebiotic
A substance needed for healthy colonies of probiotics to grow in the gut.
A healthy colony of good bacteria in the digestive system is essential for healthy immune function. Your body is better able to fight infection, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy tissue and cells.

3. Inulin
It acts as a prebiotic, meaning that it feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. These helpful bacteria play a role in reducing inflammation, fighting harmful bacteria, and improving mineral absorption.
Plants naturally produce inulin and use it as an energy source. Today, it’s being added to more and more food products because of its benefits and adaptability
