Good digestion is essential for everyday health and well-being, but can be disrupted by various factors such as age, emotional and physical stress, intestinal infections, alcohol, and some prescription and over the counter drugs. Symptoms of poor and incomplete digestion include heartburn, gas, and bloating after eating. In addition to lowering our daily quality of life, poor digestion can negatively affect our nutrient absorption and in the long term, result in compromised immune function and reduced bone health if we do not absorb sufficient nutrients from our food.
