No matter how hard you try, it can be difficult to stay in balance all the time. It could be a couple of donuts in the breakroom, a big piece of birthday cake at your child’s celebration, or that Friday night burger and fries…or all of those in the same week. Sometimes even the healthiest individuals overindulge and get out of balance. That’s when you know it’s time for a digestive reset!
Three Days to Renew and Reset
Fortunately, for those times when you get derailed, you can get your digestive system back on track quickly by taking a targeted digestive health reset dietary supplement. A supplement to help you renew and reset your digestive system should contain:
- Potassium for electrolyte balance
- The probiotic Bacillus Coagulans for digestive support
- Milk thistle to support the liver and gallbladder
- Ginger to support digestive health
- Alpha-galactosidase for bloating relief
A 2021 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that the digestive enzyme alpha-galactosidase reduced bloating in people who were experiencing digestive issues.1 This is consistent with a 2013 study involving children that also found that alpha-galactosidase helped ease short-term bloating.2
In addition to alpha-galactosidase, it’s important to know what herbs are good for digestion. Topping the list is ginger. A 2020 review of 43 clinical studies found that ginger helps support digestive health.3
The liver and gallbladder are also key organs within the digestive system. The herb milk thistle, also known as Silymarin, has been studied extensively for its ability to support liver function.4
Other supportive herbs include acacia gum, dandelion, artichoke, peppermint, and aloe. Peppermint and aloe in particular have been shown in clinical studies to help support digestion.5,6
If you’re feeling out of balance because your diet has not been the healthiest, a combination of potassium, probiotics, enzymes, and digestive herbs can help give you the digestive reset you are looking for.
We wanted all these solution herbs in one easy-to-take supplement, and when we couldn’t find one that fit all our needs, we created one. 3 Day Renew™ is a 3-day digestive reset to help support a digestive reset when you need balance. Made with 1 billion CFU and Ginger Root for digestive support, plus Potassium for electrolyte balance, take 3 vegcaps three times a day to support your gut reset.* Taking this combination for just three days will help support the digestive renewal needed to get you back on track.
