Frequently Asked Questions About Digestion Support

Q: How does an effective digestion support formula work?

An effective digestion support product should boost digestive health from a range of angles by offering a multifaceted approach to help promote the secretion of digestive enzymes and juices to help break down food more efficiently, speed up the movement of food through the digestive tract, and relieve any gastrointestinal discomfort. A quality supplement should provide a long-term solution for boosting digestive health which is important for all areas of our health including a strong immune system, improved absorption of nutrients, more energy, and clearer skin. There are many products out there that tackle the surface symptoms of poor digestion without improving it from the root. Taking a natural daily supplement is the best way to achieve this as it presents with no nasty side effects. Specific key ingredients have been shown to significantly make a positive difference and clinical trials provide data to support this. These ingredients include a combination of both Ginger and Artichoke, Fennel, Turmeric standardized to contain 95% Curcuminoids, Cumin, Roman Chamomile, and Peppermint. The formula should also contain BioPerine^® to increase the absorption of the active ingredients for faster and stronger results.

The correct formula holds the key to success so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to provide a dual action solution of soothing harsh Shingle episodes whilst targeting the root cause. The formula should not just be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. 

Q: Do all digestion support formulas work?

The correct formula holds the key to success so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to support digestive health from all angles. The formula should not just be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results.

Q: What are the important points to look out for?

• It should contain Artichoke standardized to contain 2.5% Cynarin which helps stimulate the production of bile, speeds up gut movement, and aids the digestion of certain fats.
• It should contain Ginger to help increase the movement of food through the digestive tract. The combination of Ginger and Artichoke compliment each other in supporting digestive health.
• It should include Fennel to help relax the muscles of the digestive system. It should contain at least 250mg based on clinical studies.
• It should include Turmeric standardized to contain 95% Curcuminoids, the active component which provides all the health benefits.
• It should include Roman Chamomile standardized to 1.2% Apigenin. Has a calming effect on the digestive system.
• It should include Cumin  which helps speed up the activity of the digestive enzymes as well as promotes the excretion of bile.
• It should contain BioPerine^®  proven to increase bioavailability of key ingredients so that results are felt faster and more effectively.
• It should not contain any binders, fillers, additives, hormones, preservatives or artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure, natural and with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.
• It should be formulated using the same potency as found effective in clinical studies.
• It should come with a confident money-back guarantee. 

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present with any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for digestion support supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, if you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 1 to 2 capsules per day. Some people like to take the complete daily serving together at once, but we recommend spacing it out to achieve optimal benefits from the ingredients contained within the formula.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within as little as a week. Whilst, for others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, lifestyle choices and genetic disposition. There were many manufacturers that offered refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good digestion support supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which digestion support supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Digestra by Approved Science. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Digestra had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback and the manufacturer’s customer service.

Of course, it is ultimately your choice. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for a well-researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go far wrong with Digestra. It is an excellent quality product, with great reviews and is well priced.
