Natural supplements to improve digestion: probiotics, enzymes, plants

Digestive disorders such as bloating , constipation , reflux, or slow bowel movements affect a large part of the population. Modern diets, chronic stress, a sedentary lifestyle, or an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota are often the causes. Fortunately, certain natural digestive supplements can restore intestinal balance and relieve digestive discomfort in a lasting way.

Common causes of digestive disorders

• Diet low in fiber and high in refined sugars
• Intestinal dysbiosis (microbiota imbalance) [1]
• Lack of digestive enzymes [2]
• Chronic stress and anxiety [3]
• Prolonged use of antibiotics or antacids

The best dietary supplements for digestion

Probiotics

Probiotics help restore intestinal flora, improve transit, reduce bloating and strengthen digestive immune defenses. They are particularly effective in cases of irritable bowel syndrome or after antibiotic therapy [4].

Digestive enzymes

Natural enzymes such as lipases , amylases and proteases facilitate the breakdown of food and limit digestive heaviness after large meals [2].

Activated charcoal

Activated charcoal absorbs intestinal gas and toxins, quickly relieving bloating, flatulence and feelings of fullness [5].

Digestive plants

Fennel , artichoke , and ginger are traditionally used to stimulate digestion, soothe digestive spasms, and promote bile secretion [6].

Practical tips for better digestion

• Chew slowly and avoid large meals.
• Limit ultra-processed foods and foods rich in fast sugars
• Practice regular physical activity
• Take seasonal courses of probiotics or digestive enzymes
