Breaking down the digestive tract:

Stomach — Acid is the key thing in your stomach. It helps you break down protein, absorb certain minerals, and kill pathogens. Many people do not have enough strong acid in their stomach. 

To support healthy stomach acid levels, consider: • Hydrochloric acid (betaine hydrochloride) • Salt  • Potassium  • Apple cider vinegar  • Kombucha tea 

Bile — Bile is made by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps you break down fats. Supporting bile production can also help with bloating and belching.

To support bile production, consider: • Bile salts  • Beet tops  • Ginger • Artichokes  • Lemon  • Milk thistle • Choline 

Enzymes — A lot of enzymes are produced by your pancreas. Your small intestine, stomach, and microbes in your intestines can also make certain enzymes. Enzymes help you break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Heat destroys enzymes. 

To support enzymes, consider: • Taking a blend of enzymes  • Consuming more raw foods

Flora — This is your friendly bacteria. Most of the flora in your body are in your large intestine. 

To support your flora, consider: • Taking a probiotic  • Consuming prebiotic foods (vegetable fiber)

P.N.S — Your parasympathetic nervous system is all about rest and digestion. 

To support and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, consider: • Lowering stress • Increasing B1 • Increasing potassium  • Increasing magnesium 

This formula helps to defense against bile sludge - a leading cause of gas, bloating, indigestion and poor nutrient absorption.

Gallbladder Formula Extra Strength is safe to take when you no longer have a gallbladder and can be very helpful with digestion as it contain purified bile salts. The gallbladder stores bile which is necessary to break down dietary fats during digestion.  Without a gallbladder, you no longer have the availability of bile to breakdown these fats.  That is where our Gallbladder Formula Extra Strength comes in to help.  The purified bile salts will perform the role of bile and aid in the digestion of your dietary fat.

You can review the Gallbladder Formula Extra Strength product page for more information.  I recommend watching the two product videos on the page.  In them, Dr. Berg goes into great detail about how the Gallbladder Formula Extra Strength helps support digestion and health.
