For Older Adults

Now available in vegetarian capsules, this product contains Beet Root, Ginger Root, and a proprietary blend of plant enzymes, which nutritionally support the digestive system.

Ingredients
Beet (Beta vulgaris)(root)
Beet Root has historically been used to “strengthen the blood,” to nourish the liver and gallbladder, and to assist the digestive system. Beet root consists of betaine, which supplies the amino acids methionine and cystine. These amino acids contain sulfur that is used by the liver in the metabolism of protein.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)(root)
Ginger has been traditionally used by herbalists to improve the activity of other ingredients in a formula. Ginger root contains enzymes, oleo resins, and volatile oils, which are digestive stimulants.

Proprietary Plant Enzyme Blend
The enzymes enhance the assimilation and utilization of the diet and the encapsulated ingredients.
