Physician Formulated for Digestive Health
Created by Dr. Isaac Eliaz, MD, M.S., L.Ac., using a combination of Traditional Chinese, Asian and Western Naturopathic principles, this formula promotes long term digestive health while also improving occasional digestive discomfort. Some of the key components of this formula are outlined below:

• Pomegranate Seed strengthens digestive activity (stomach, small intestine, and colon) by improving bile flow and gastric secretions, toning the pancreas, and providing antioxidant support. It also promotes healthy liver function, reduces lipid peroxidation, increases detoxification enzymes and regulates intestinal movement.
• Pepper Fruit has been used traditionally in Asia to improve circulation, including the circulation of the digestive system. The major alkaloid, piperine, may also enhance the absorption of nutrients.
• Lesser Galangal Root is useful for occasional nausea and has been traditionally been used as an antiflatulent and diuretic.
• Cassia Bark and Chinese Cardamom Fruit are warming herbs recognized for their beneficial compounds and essential oils which support bile secretion.
• Tangerine Fruit is traditionally used for cramping and alleviation of gas. Research has shown its flavonoids support healthy liver function.
• Henon Bamboo Herb promotes free radical scavenging activity.
• De-Glycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) Root - Licorice has a long history of medicinal use in Europe and Asia, particularly with regards to digestive function. Licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhiza, resulting in DGL, which does not share the metabolic disadvantages of glycyrrhizinated licorice.
• Ginger Root has a significant role in Chinese, Japanese and Indian health practices since the 1500s. It is often used for digestion, as an antiflatulent, laxative, and antacid. Research shows ginger root supports intestinal movement and fights occasional nausea.
• Sacred Lotus Seed Extract has been used in Asia for thousands of years, primarily for occasional abdominal cramps, loose stools, and gastrointestinal related issues.
