  • Enzymedica Heartburn Relief 90 chewable tabs Enzymedica Heartburn Relief 90 chewable tabs

    Enzymedica’s Heartburn Relief‡ starts working immediately, and lasts for prolonged results, day or night.* But relief is just one part of the solution, so it also protects our digestive system and supports the lining of the GI tract for long-term support.* This formula is intended for occasional heartburn sufferers who experience heartburn most often from specific foods. It is not intended for frequent heartburn sufferers.   Benefits:  Works in seconds, lasts for hours  Pleasant vanilla-orange flavor chewable tablet  Protects the esophagus from acid*  Relief for occasional heartburn*  Naturally supports the stomach lining*  Day or night results Alginate works like a raft, floating on top of the heartburn-causing acid pocket of the stomach, keeping it from bubbling up into the esophagus and causing irritation.*   How was it created? This breakthrough alginate was created through a partnership with Enzymedica and SRQ Bio, a division of the Roskamp Institute, who are the scientists that uncovered the genetic cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Heartburn Relief is the result of detailed scientific study to provide safe and immediate long-lasting support.   How does alginate work? By itself, alginate, a gel-forming compound from brown seaweed, acts as a natural barrier, and when combined with specific buffering agents and a unique botanical extract (calcium carbonate, trimethylglycine and prickly pear cactus), the strength and flexibility of that barrier is improved. This results in a more effective raft, along with reducing the amount of alginate needed and improving the taste. Other products typically have a foamy, chalky, unpleasant taste that isn't present in Heartburn Relief.   Why is Enzymedica's remedy better? These natural compounds also do more than relieve symptoms,* they preserve critical stomach acid and support the lining of the GI tract.* Since the acid is merely held back with the alginate raft, and not neutralized, it is still able to digest our food as effectively as ever. In addition, the alginate and herbal extracts soothe the lining of the GI tract, rebuilding our body's natural defenses.* This makes Heartburn Relief a long-term solution for occasional heartburn, not just a typical quick fix.*   Dietary Considerations Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Soy Free Vegan Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free Non-GMO Casein Free   Serving Size:2 Tablet   Servings Per Container:45   Amount Per Serving Calories10 Total carbohydrate3 g Sugars 0 g Xylitol1 g Calcium (from calcium carbonate)160 mg   Proprietary blend:550 mg   Alginic acid, Prickly Pear Cactus extract (Opuntia ficus indica) (cladodes) Trimethylglycine (Betaine anhydrous)   Other Ingredients: Sorbitol, natural orange flavor, natural vanilla flavor, rice concentrate   Recommended Use: Chew 1 - 2 relief chews after a meal causing discomfort.

  • Enzymedica Betaine HCl 120 caps Enzymedica Betaine HCl 120 caps

    When low acid causes occasional heartburn, the simple solution is to add more. Betaine HCl increases acid levels so your stomach can naturally digest properly.* Enzymes are added to support gentle digestion, while MucoSave, a combination of prickly pear and olive leaf extracts, soothes the stomach lining.*   Benefits:  Alleviates occasional heartburn caused by low stomach acid*  Soothes stomach lining*  Aids breakdown of protein and nutrient absorption*  Helps restore healthy gut balance* Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin are absolutely critical to digestion and nutrient absorption, and without enough, gut-related issues, including occasional heartburn, may occur.   What is the natural solution? As we age, we produce less digestive acid, leading to occasional heartburn and indigestion. While those with frequent heartburn turn to antacids and acid-blocking medications, occasional heartburn sufferers have other options. Betaine HCl and Pepsin, a protein-digesting enzyme, can provide relief for those with occasional heartburn. Betaine HCl, on the other hand, uses HCl and pepsin already in your stomach to naturally raise the pH of stomach acid and soothe discomfort.* On top of that, HCl and pepsin have been shown to positively affect the gut microbiome.*   How is pepsin created? Most supplements contain pepsin from porcine (pigs). Betaine HCl from Enzymedica uses a blend of fungal protease enzymes that act as pepsin—promoting the breakdown of proteins in an acidic environment, but with an entirely vegetarian approach.   Why is Betaine HCl better than other supplements? In addition, Betaine HCl comes with MucoSave to support and maintain a healthy mucosal system in the stomach.* Made from extracts of prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) and olive leaves (Olea europaea), MucoSave has been shown to exert positive effects on the stomach lining, providing a necessary buffer for the acidity of digestion.*   Dietary Considerations Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Soy Free Vegan Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free Non-GMO Casein Free   Serving Size:2 Capsule   Servings Per Container:60 Amount Per Serving Betaine HCl1300 mg Acid-Active Protease Blend 50 SAPU50 Mucosave FG50 mg   Other Ingredients: 100% Vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water), water, rice concentrate   Recommended Usage: Take 1-2 capsules three times daily with meals, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Consult a physician prior to use if pregnant or nursing.   Contains no: gluten, milk, casein, soy, egg, artificial colors or flavors. Keep closed in dry place; avoid excessive heat. Non-GMO.

    Good health starts in the gut. With 8 strains and 10 billion CFUs of noncompetitive, guaranteed potency probiotics, Pro-Bio supports regularity and immune function, along with promoting a flourishing microbiome.*   Benefits:  8 noncompetitive strains for increased diversity  10 Billion CFU guaranteed potency  Survives stomach acid  Supports regularity and immune health*  Promotes a healthy microbiome and optimal digestive function*  Helps reduce occasional gas, bloating and indigestion* A diverse microbiome helps improve our health, and probiotics help improve the health of the microbiome.   What is the microbiome and what helps it flourish? The microbiome is the collection of trillions of microbes living within your GI tract, many of which are beneficial. If you can improve the health of those good microbes, they can in turn improve your own health. One of the key factors associated with a healthy intestinal microbiome is its diversity. Each species and strain has its own unique set of benefits, so the more types of beneficial bacteria you have, the more benefits you will receive. Therefore, it should be the goal of anyone looking to improve the health of their microbiome to improve its diversity. Probiotics are one of the best-known ways to improve the health and diversity of the gut microbiome.* When the microbiome is running strong, it supports digestion, immune function, removal of toxins and absorption of nutrients.   What makes the probiotics in Pro-Bio better? The probiotics in Pro-Bio are designed help the microbiome as much as possible. It contains eight non-competitive strains of probiotics to give a diverse base to create a diverse microbiome.* One of these strains is Bacillus subtilis, which is one of the most studied probiotic strains in the world and has been shown to normalize intestinal microflora balance.* It adheres to the colon, persists in the GI tract and is well tolerated by people of all ages.*   Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Vegetarian Soy Free Yeast Free Preservative Free Salt Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free Non-GMO   Serving Size:1 Vegetable Capsule   Servings Per Container:90   Amount Per Serving Guaranteed Potency Billion10 CFU Proprietary Blend of: Bacillus subtilis paracasei acidophilus casei bulgaricus plantarum rhamnosus Salivarius   Other Ingredients: 100% vegetarian capsule (cellulose), 100% vegetarian capsule (gellan gum), 100% vegetarian capsule (water)   Recommended use: 1 capsule daily with water.

GI Support Products

At Vita Living, we know that good gastrointestinal (GI) health is the basis of good overall health. The GI tract is made up of the stomach, intestines (large and small) colon and rectum. The colon is especially important for absorption of nutrients and immune system support. An unhealthy colon can cause problems with digestion, chronic fatigue, depression and more. When the GI system does not work properly nutrients are not absorbed effectively and vitamin and mineral deficiencies may result. Intestinal support supplements can help prevent and treat digestive disorders that can lead to acid reflux, colitis, irritable bowel system (IBS), constipation and even colon cancer. At Vita Living, we offer a full array of gastric support supplements.

Good nutrition and good bowel function is the basis of good health. Probiotic supplements from Vita Living support good digestion and a strong immune system while warding off bloating, gas, constipation and other symptoms of poor GI health. The friendly bacteria that make up probiotics are natural to the GI system. They keep the colon healthy and reduce inflammation. In the past, people ingested these bacteria in fermented foods; however, this is not common today, so supplementation is often necessary.

In addition to healthy, natural probiotics, a few other supplements are helpful in GI tract health. Among them are the amino acid, L-Glutamine, which helps repair damage to the intestinal tract and provides steady energy. N-Acetyl Glutamine is a protein that aids the digestive tract in the formation of mucin, which acts as an internal lubricant. This protein also supports proper absorption of nutrients. Additionally, herbal supplements such as chamomile can provide relief from IBS, bloating, gas, cramps and other forms of digestive distress. Proper use of GI support supplements, a healthy diet and good stress management can help fend off illness and the ravages of aging.
