Digestion Supplements and Regimen

    George's Aloe Juice is the purest aloe product available. It is fractionally distilled to remove the laxative and bitter compounds and tastes almost like water. A rich source of polysaccharides, aloe is often used to stimulate immune function and fight chronic illness in addition to its traditional use as a topical to treat burns and skin irritation. Excellent product to use for digestive illnesses such as Crohn's and IBS to control symptoms, but it is best to also use antiseptics to fight bacteria directly for these purposes. See the IBS and Crohn's Regimen for more information.
    Ingredients: 100% Aloe Vera (fractionally distilled from Aloe Vera leaves)

    Naturally Vitamins Wobenzym - Wobenzym is one of the most popular enzyme products in the world. It is typically taken in large amounts by those with chronic and serious illnesses like cancer, but also for other inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, injuries, and circulation disorder. This may be why the most popular size of Wobenzyme is 800 tablet bottles. While Wobenzym is a good product, many think Enzymatic Therapy Mega-Zyme is better. Mega-Zyme is in general less expensive, more powerful, and does not have a foul odor. Wobenzym comes in the original red color which is most popular in Europe and especially Germany where the product was formulated, and with clear coating, which was made for the US market who did not want the yellow-orange dye the red ones use.

    Enzymatic Therapy DGL - DGL is a chewable extract of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) and the amino acid glycine. Glycyrrhizin can cause potassium depletion when used long term which is why licorice is typically deglycyrrhizinated when in supplement form. All good DGLs are in chewable form since DGL requires salvia to activate it into body ready form. DGL supplements typically come in both sweetened and unsweetened types, although most prefer unsweetened since DGL is already rather sweet. DGL stimulates the natural protective factors in the digestive tract, which often helps relieve stomach discomfort quickly.
