Get your digestion back in shape

Digestion problems

If you are one of the 33% of the UK population who regularly suffer with digestive problems (that’s acid reflux, bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea/colitis or even just feeling tired after meals) then it can be worrying news, as these complaints indicate that your digestive system is failing and without a comfortable, efficient digestive system your entire health is at risk.

There are a lot of probiotic products on the market that claim to help but in fact many don’t reach the root of the problem as most OTC products sold for digestive complaints, from reflux through to constipation, although they may temporarily relieve symptoms, do nothing to correct the underlying problem, and, taken on a regular basis they can mask or even exacerbate the underlying condition.

With this in mind, Simply Vital (the holistic health company founded by a former research pharmacist) created vitalSHAPE, to rapidly ease digestive problems while simultaneously improving the health and efficiency of the digestive system.

Forming the foundation for our entire health, the digestive system is often the first system to suffer from the perils of modern life:

• Stress diverts blood from the system compromising its ability to repair and replenish itself
• Food, deficient in enzymes places enormous strain on the pancreas to produce its own digestive enzymes
• Eating too much and too often simply exhausts the whole system (the digestive process takes approximately 4.5 hours) 

An advanced probiotic/prebiotic/digestive enzyme formula, vitalSHAPE was precisely designed to counter these problems. Containing the unique probiotic strain “L. Acidophilus DDS-1” stands out from the rest because it is proven to be the only bacteria of its kind to be able to survive the harsh environment of the stomach acids and bile salts of the digestive system.

Probiotics

The term probiotic has been widely misused over recent years since very few organisms actually comply with the strict criteria necessary to be termed probiotic. Whilst many other probiotics can't tolerate the harsh conditions of the stomach, making it fairly pointless to ingest them, L. Acidophilus DDS-1 survives the acid conditions of the stomach, and the alkaline conditions of the small intestine. L. Acidophilus DDS-1 is also able to attach itself to the intestinal wall where it proliferates and secretes molecules to bring the digestive system back into balance (also helping to repair the integrity of the wall itself and so avoid serious problems such as leaky gut syndrome).

Enzymes

After years of eating cooked, devitalised processed foods, our pancreas (an important organ in digestion) can become less proficient at producing sufficient quantities of digestive enzymes to complete the digestive process, leading to tiredness after a meal, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion and constipation. At this point the capacity of the pancreas to produce immune system enzymes is also greatly reduced, compromising our entire health.

VitalSHAPE also contains a high concentration of plant derived digestive enzymes (such as Lipase and Protease), which behave as our pancreatic digestive enzymes, and are also integral to the products success. Whilst these enzymes are found in 'raw' foods, most of our diets now contain very few of these important 'nutrients' as they get destroyed by food processing and cooking.

A healthy digestive system is fundamental for good health and if your body needs a boost then vitalSHAPE could be the answer. Developed as the result of years of scientific research in probiotics, vitalSHAPE quells acid reflux, relieves indigestion, prevents bloating and IBS and calms colitis/diarrhea. A large part of vitalSHAPEs success is due to it using a unique and highly effective probiotic, alongside a prebiotic and enzyme formula helping to alleviate common digestive problems in a manner unlike all other products out there. 

In addition vitalSHAPE can help maintain healthy immune defenses, alleviate constipation thanks to the high quantity of bifido bacteria present, and support weight control.
