Enzymes and digestive juices are produced by the parotid gland, stomach, small intestinal Brunner's glands, liver, pancreas and gallbladder. The adrenal glands produce much of the fluid the digestive system needs to produce these digestive juices and humors. The gut reflex will be electrical when one or more of these organs or glands is not producing or releasing a sufficient amount of digestive juices. This causes a sick, alkaline gastrointestinal tract with poor or no intestinal flora. If the body cannot digest its food, it cannot assimilate the nutrition that it needs.

Some of the common symptoms are indigestion, bloating, gas, and allergies due to undigested foods which in turn putrefy and send poisons throughout the body. Others include obesity, difficult breathing such as in asthma and emphysema, and hiatal hernias caused by undigested food which pushes the stomach up into the diaphragm. Many bowel syndromes such as an itching rectum, constipation, diverticulitis, and Crohn's syndrome are caused by undigested food creating poisons in the body.

Use 6-15 Zypan, per day, always. Divide them with meals. Zypan contains digestive enzymes which aid the stomach and gastrointestinal tract in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates. It also contains acidifying factors which is needed in the digestion of proteins.
