| THE SOURCE FOR DIGESTIVE ENZYMES | ||
 |
Green papaya is one of nature's most abundant sources of plant enzymes and other important phytonutrients. Papain, the digestive enzyme commonly found in health food stores, is actually derived from green rather than ripe papayas. At the climacteric stage before ripening, the green fruit is carefully harvested to yield an optimal amount of enzymes. In addition to papain, Bio-Gestin� contains chymo-papain, an even stronger proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzyme. For many years isolated papain has been used as a natural digestive aid. As many herbalists already know, ingesting whole herbs like green papaya often provides superior results to isolated single ingredients. Important phytonutrients including arginine, amino acids, calcium, potassium, vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, beta carotene (pro-vitamin A), complex carbohydrates, pectin, fibrin, fiber, carpain and other enzymes are also found in green papaya. | |
| THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF GREEN PAPAYA | ||
|
|
The powerful one-two punch of
chymo-papain and papain together with the full range of phytonutrients
in Bio-Gestin� deliver a concentrated, effective, natural digestive
combination, covering a pH range of 1.6-12. (very acidic to very
alkaline). Many digestive supplements work in only certain pH ranges
and are inactivated during some phase of digestion. Bio-Gestin�
supplies a powerhouse of enzyme assistance throughout the digestive
system. Chymo papain and papain also exhibit muco-lytic (mucous
digesting) properties. Studies have even shown that green papaya's
enzymes selectively digest hardened, injured, or excessive tissues
with little or no invasiveness to healthy tissue and have been used
therapeutically for that purpose.
Some phytonutrients in Bio-Gestin� help to restore proper intestinal flora and have vermifugal, amoebicidal, and antibacterial properties. So, using Bio-Gestin� may increase nutrient absorption and help to create a healthier intestinal tract. For those with too little stomach acid, green papaya may take the burden off digestive organs. It has also been used for over acidity or borderline ulcers as less stomach acid is required for digestion when abundant enzymes are ingested. As an herb, Bio-Gestin� is a wonderful balancer for the entire digestive system. |

| ENZYME RESTORATION | ||
|
There's also strong evidence that raising one's digestive enzyme levels can help to balance the immune system. Most people consume far too many enzyme-deficient foods (cooked, stored, processed, and preserved) and far too few enzyme rich foods (living, fresh, raw). Their digestive and metabolic enzymes become depleted and the immune system is overworked. Taking plant-based enzyme supplements like Bio-Gestin� with healthful meals can alleviate strain on internal organs, supply additional nutrients, and help to restore balance to the body's enzyme levels. When taken in-between meals, enzyme supplementation can result in even faster metabolic enzyme restoration, anti-viral activity (proteolytic enzymes digest cell walls of virus and other infectious agents), and free radical scavenging. | |

| WHO CAN USE BIO-GESTIN? | ||
|
Since proper enzyme levels are an excellent indicator of general health, and because our bodies make enzymes from the nutrients supplied by diet and breath, any person who desires to feel better or needs more nutrient absorption and/or utilization may supplement their diet with Bio-Gestin�. | |

| DIRECTIONS FOR TAKING BIO-GESTIN | ||
|
One or two Bio-Gestin�
capsules can be taken with meals and are particularly effective with
protein foods. They can be taken in between meals to maximize green
papaya enzyme action outside of the digestive system. When first
beginning to use Bio-Gestin� be sure to drink plenty of purified
water.
