Over 100 Million...and Counting!

How popular are nutritional supplements? The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 40% of the US population takes dietary supplements regularly (that's over 100 million of us).1 What's more, many supplement users are choosing probiotic and enzyme supplements.
Probiotics have earned a lot of attention in recent years thanks to celebrity doctor endorsements and a real need for supplements that support our bodies’ natural processes.
Digestion, of course, is a complex process. But there are key points along the digestive tract that should not be undervalued:
Digestive Key Point #1 - Nutrient breakdown in the stomach and small intestine
Digestive Key Point #2 - The bacterial balance in the intestines.
Don’t Let Digestion Slow You Down
Well-formulated digestive enzyme supplements contain a variety of the enzymes needed for effective digestion. As we age, our natural store of digestive enzymes can become depleted. A supplement, when taken with food, helps boost enzyme levels in the stomach (and small intestine) to aid nutrient breakdown and absorption.*
Nutri-Health digestive enzyme supplements are formulated with 15 enzymes that help assist nutrient digestion in the stomach, and 3 enteric coated enzymes that survive stomach acid to assist digestion in the small intestine.*
Balance Starts Within
As your inner ear is responsible for equilibrium, which translates to physical balance in space, your inner intestinal microflora balance translates to digestive and overall health.
Probiotics support your intestinal microflora balance, helping to alleviate occasional diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating and irregularity, and also helping to crowd out non-beneficial microorganisms.* A balanced microflora population is important for good health.
