Herbal Power Meets Science®
We combine the best of nature and science using clean and clinically tested ingredients.
EVIDENCE
We formulate with a team of expert health practitioners using a science-led approach – ingredients are backed by clinical evidence and traditional use.
STRENGTH
Ingredients are always potent and dosed to a therapeutic level, helping to support your health and make a difference your body can feel.
PURITY
We use gentle herbal extracts, minimal excipients and leave out avoidable additives, like fillers and stearates, that don’t meet our standards.
It's important that we keep our formula as close to its natural form as possible. This means minimising processing and the use of excipients. We use gentle herbal extracts and take great pride in the fact that Digest Ease doesn't contain additives that don't meet our standards. This includes dyes, fillers and stearates, as well as common allergens (such as gluten and lactose), GMOs, animal products and more.
Our formula is purposely made using capsules instead of tablets. Not only does this better support the breakdown and absorption of the active ingredients, but also eliminates the need for added coating agents and tableting aids.
Standardised herbal extracts provide guaranteed levels of the active ingredient responsible for delivering the intended therapeutic benefit. Standardisation improves the quality and potency of each ingredient from batch to batch. We adopt standardised herbal extracts where human clinical data supports their specific use.
Our ingredients go through multiple rounds of quality testing.
When raw materials first arrive in our lab, we test for plant identity and potency. This protects against the risk of adulteration and ensures the right level of plant actives are present. We then test for heavy metals, which are naturally found in most soils around the world, having the potential to be within plants. Following we test for microbes. This ensures raw materials aren't contaminated by micro-organisms and adhere to the TGA’s strict Microbiological Standards for Medicines Order (TGO 100).
Only when all aspects of quality control are complete will the manufacture of Digest Ease begin. Any ingredient that doesn’t meet these strict standards will be sent back for non-compliance.
Digest Ease is proudly made in Australia using a best in class TGA licensed manufacturing facility. Our manufacturing complies with the code of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and is certified accordingly. Full batch manufacturing records mean every single bottle is 100% traceable.
GutGard™ Liquorice
Liquorice is a flowering plant native to Western Asia, North Africa and Southern Europe. It is commonly used as a gastrointestinal soothing and healing agent.
Digest Ease is formulated with GutGard™ - a standardised, high-strength liquorice extract that has been found to relieve digestive symptoms. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial, GutGard™ was shown to significantly reduce indigestion, abdominal pain and bloating within 15 days of use. It supports digestive health through its gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects as well as inhibiting the growth of troublesome gut bacteria such as H.Pylori.
Plant Part Used: Root, extract
Organic Ginger
Ginger is widely used as a spice and herbal medicine, native to South-East Asia. Ginger is helpful in supporting digestion due to its high concentration of volatile oils, which help to ease abdominal cramping, bloating and flatulence.
Clinically, Ginger has been shown to improve gastric emptying time by stimulating antral contractions (the movement of food move from one part of the gut to another). Slow or delayed gastric movement can result in abdominal bloating and fullness.
Plant Part Used: Rhizome, extract
Peppermint
Peppermint is a popular herb native to Europe and the Middle East. It is commonly used for its antispasmodic (cramp reducing) and carminative (gas reducing) properties.
The essential oils, menthol and menthone, work as the primary active ingredients and have been the focus of much scientific research. Clinical studies have shown that peppermint oil is successful in treating relapsing digestive issues such as abdominal pain and spasms
Plant Part Used: Leaf, extract
Gentian
Gentian is a flowering plant native to regions of Asia and Central and Southern Europe. Gentian is remarkable for its intense bitterness of the root, which has a long history of use in traditional Western herbal medicine as a bitter tonic. It stimulates saliva, gastric juice and bile secretion, enhancing digestive function and improving digestive weakness.
New scientific research has identified that bitter herbs, like Gentian, do not need to be tasted to stimulate upper digestive system function, as they activate bitter taste receptors (TASR2) located throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
Plant Part Used: Root, extract
Turmeric
Turmeric is a flowering plant of the ginger family, native to India and South East Asia. Scientific evidence has shown Turmeric to support liver health and natural detoxification processes.
It also has been shown to be an effective digestive remedy. In a human clinical study, Turmeric reported statistically significant improvements in digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain and flatulence compared to a placebo.
Plant Part Used: Rhizome, extract
Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is a perennial herbaceous plant native to South and Central Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Iran, and Central Asia. It is commonly used as a nervine tonic, working to relax the nervous system.
Lemon Balm's calming effects are suited for reducing digestive complaints associated with stress.
