Digestive Issues

It breaks down food, absorbs essential nutrients, and supports vital bodily functions—including energy production, immune health, and hormonal balance. When digestion is compromised, it can lead to discomfort, nutritional deficiencies, and systemic issues affecting your entire well-being.
