Purpose/Usage
The process of digestion takes place in the gastrointestinal tract, which consists of the mouth, oesophagus, stomach and intestines.
The mouth breaks down food in a mechanical motion, adding saliva to facilitate swallowing. It is in the stomach that the serious digestive process begins. The enzyme pepsin and hydrochloric acid are secreted to help break down and digest proteins. The small intestine works to further break down proteins as well as fats and starches with the help of the enzymes trypsin, amylase and lipase. This activity turns proteins into amino acids, starch to maltose and fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Lastly, the liver and gall bladder release bile salts which assists in fat digestion.
Long term consequences of poor digestion may lead to allergies, constipation, oedema, weight gain, lethargy and lowered immunity.
Medicines have benefits and some may have risks. Always read the label
carefully and use strictly as directed. If symptoms continue or you have
side effects consult your pharmacist or doctor immediately.
