Digestive Health
The 4R Gastrointestinal Support Program
The GI tract protects the entire body through a series of mechanisms.
- GI pH
- Mouth – alkaline
- Stomach – acid
- Small Intestine – alkaline
- Large Intestine – mild acid
- Strong digestive and immune secretions – 80% of the immune system is in the small intestine
- Powerful mucosal barrier from mouth to anus
- “Friendly colonic micro flora” by the trillions
Disruption of regional pH balance impacts the processes of digestion, assimilation, elimination and immune function.
