What are some vitamins or foods that aid in nutrient absorption?
Hi Penguin,
There are two supplements that may (the key is may) aid in the absorption of nutrients that I would like to respectfully recommend. One is probiotics and the other is digestive enyzmes.
Why?
Probiotics can help in gut ecology in various ways. Please see below for the benefits:
* Enhanced immune system response
* Reduces negative affects of taking many types of antibiotics
* Aids in preventing and treating colon inflammation following surgery
* Helps to prevent eczema in youth
* Increased ability to digest food
* Therapeutic for viral respiratory tract infections by enhancing the overall immune system
* Reduces lactose intolerance
* Reduces incidence of yeast infection, vaginitis and candidiasis
* Increases ability to assimilate the nutrients from food
* Alleviates many common digestive disorders such as constipation, diarrhea and IBS
* Acts as a treatment for halitosis (bad breath)
* Increases ability to synthesize vitamin B
* Increases ability to absorb calcium
* Promotes anti-tumor and anti-cancer activity in the body
Digestive enzymes will give your body a break in the breaking down of food. The enzymes would be liken to using a motorcycle to get up a steep hill compared to you peddling on your own.
