Technical Information
Our natural herbal supplement combines natural ingredients to soothe your digestive system, ease discomfort, and promote regular bowel function, ensuring a happier, healthier gut. Support your body’s defenses and maintain a balanced and comfortable digestive experience.
A variety of botanical ingredients, each with distinct properties and constituents that collectively support digestive and colon health. These components contribute antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and soothing effects, addressing gastrointestinal concerns. By promoting intestinal barrier function, regulating gut microbiota, and alleviating digestive discomfort, this supplement offers comprehensive support to the digestive and colon systems.
The digestive system is a complex network of organs and processes in the body responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients to provide energy and support bodily functions. It begins when food is ingested and follows a carefully orchestrated path through various stages:
Mouth: Digestion begins in the mouth, where teeth grind and break down food into smaller pieces, while saliva mixes with the food to start the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates.
- Esophagus: The chewed food is then swallowed and moves down the esophagus through a peristalsis process, which involves muscular contractions that push the food toward the stomach.
- Stomach: Upon reaching the stomach, food encounters gastric juices containing hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes. These substances create an acidic environment that further breaks down food and kills harmful bacteria. The resulting mixture, called chyme, is slowly released into the small intestine.
- Small Intestine: Most digestion and nutrient absorption occur in the small intestine. Here, chyme is mixed with bile from the liver and digestive enzymes from the pancreas, allowing the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal walls.
- Large Intestine(Colon): After passing through the small intestine undigested food enters the large intestine or colon. The colon primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, converting the remaining contents into faeces.
The colon plays a crucial role in the digestive process. Diseases that affect the colon can have a significant impact on your health.
Some common colon-related diseases include:
- Colitis: Colitis refers to inflammation of the colon. It can result from infections, autoimmune reactions, or inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and rectal bleeding.
- Diverticulitis:Diverticulitis is the inflammation or infection of small pouches (diverticula) that can form in the colon. It often leads to abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits.
- Colon Cancer: Colon cancer is the development of malignant tumours in the colon. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, as symptoms may not appear until the disease, is advanced.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS): IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. While it doesn’t cause structural damage to the colon, it can significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
- Constipation: Although not a disease itself, chronic constipation can lead to discomfort and complications, such as Haemorrhoids and diverticulosis, where small pouches form in the colon wall.
The connection between “leaky gut” and “leaky brain” is an area of growing interest in medical research, and it centers on the concept of increased intestinal permeability and its potential impact on the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Leaky Gut (Increased Intestinal Permeability): Leaky gut refers to a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes more permeable than it should. Normally, the intestinal lining acts as a barrier, allowing the absorption of essential nutrients while preventing the entry of harmful substances like bacteria and toxins into the bloodstream. When this barrier is compromised, as in the case of a leaky gut, these substances can leak through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream. This can trigger an immune response, leading to inflammation and various health issues.
Leaky Brain (Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability): The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective membrane that separates the bloodstream from the brain and spinal cord. Its primary role is to protect the brain by allowing only specific molecules to pass through while blocking potentially harmful substances. Like the gut lining, the BBB can also become more permeable under certain conditions. When the BBB becomes “leaky,” it allows substances that would typically be kept out to enter the brain, potentially leading to neuroinflammation and cognitive issues.
The connection between a leaky gut and a leaky brain lies in the idea that inflammation and dysfunction in one barrier (the gut) can potentially contribute to inflammation and dysfunction in the other BBB. While this concept is still an area of ongoing research, some theories suggest that the chronic inflammation and release of proinflammatory molecules associated with a leaky gut may trigger similar processes in the brain, thereby increasing the permeability of the BBB.
Several factors have been proposed as potential contributors to leaky gut and brain, including chronic stress, dietary factors (such as a high-sugar or high-fat diet), and certain medical conditions. However, it’s important to note that the precise mechanisms and causal relationships between these conditions are not yet fully understood, and more research is needed to establish definitive connections.
