The term “digestive disorder” is a bit broad because it encompasses all problems related to digestion and transit.
During these phases, food is first chewed between 15 and 20 times (chewing consists of grinding and inhibiting saliva to break down the food), then swallowed.
Once swallowed, they travel down the digestive tract. This journey through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and then the colon can take between 10 and 12 hours on average.
This process is called digestion . But when this process malfunctions, it is called indigestion.

Did you know?
At the top of the list of everyday ailments are digestive disorders with their attendant symptoms: bloating, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, etc.
It is therefore important to take care of our digestive system, especially since the intestine is our second brain.
To try to soothe, we must first identify the factors that can influence the digestive ecosystem:
- First of all stress , especially when it is somatic (kept inside oneself). Indeed, anxiety disrupts the viscera and can lead to an acceleration (diarrhea) or a slowing down (constipation) of transit
- Finally, excess alcohol and food during the holiday season (especially those at the end of the year). These ailments can be aggravated in people who are already sensitive to their digestive system.
The body will then experience a period of significant digestive fatigue. Numerous wastes and toxins will clog the organs, which will have difficulty eliminating them.
By becoming aware of these three factors, we can see that we ourselves contribute to our own self-intoxication. To remedy this, it's important to cleanse and repair our digestive tract, in the same way that we would use the right fuel for our car to run smoothly.
It is therefore necessary to reactivate the activity of the liver and the gallbladder, essential organs in the functioning of digestion.

To do this , here are several products which, alone or combined, will help you improve your digestion.
In a situation after the holidays, with excess food or alcohol, we recommend that you take courses of Organic Black Radish ampoules. or Black Radish – Organic Artichoke of Nutrivie. These two products will help detoxify the body and promote digestion.
For everyday digestive problems that can occur when eating "normal" meals, we recommend taking courses of our Organic Transit Complex. (also at Nutrivie). Composed of fennel, fig, mallow and prune, it will promote digestive comfort and improve transit.
In addition, in order to work on the overall digestive ecosystem, we advise you to take a product from the Mint-e Laboratory : THE Z-Flora Bio. This one will have an effect on digestive discomfort, bloating, and gas, particularly thanks to black caraway. Due to its composition, it will exert a dual action: probiotic and prebiotic.

As a reminder , under no circumstances can the food supplements mentioned above replace medical treatment or a healthy lifestyle.
