Digestiv 60-Capsule Bottle

Plantiva controls all aspects of its product supply chain, which starts with knowing our growers, lab testing every step of the way, starting with the unprocessed plant materials and continuing through the multiple stages of processing to the finished extract materials.

Plantiva does not buy its ingredients from brokers and herb markets. We have spent over 15 years comparatively evaluating growing areas, standardizing extraction processing, and developing analytical methods for the plants used in making Plantiva products.

Our quality assurance team is managed by leading industry experts and includes other dedicated and experienced technicians around the world.

Digestive Enzymes
Cellulase – This enzyme is not directly produced by the body. Adding cellulase helps break down plant fibers. It can help stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol levels in the blood.*

Peptidase – Helps break down protein into smaller units called peptides and amino acids. Peptidase helps immune function and can reduce biochemicals associated with inflammation such as bradykinins and eicosanoids.*

Lipase – Helps break down fats and improve the nutritional value of fats and oils.*

Alpha-galactosidase – Breaks down starches and carbohydrates such as greens and beans thus reducing bloating and gas.*

Plant extracts & Mushrooms
Hawthorn berry extract – Strengthens the stomach; promotes digestion – especially of red meat and oily or fatty foods; relieves food stagnation, discomfort, and abdominal fullness.*

Amomum fruit extract – Strengthens the stomach. For indigestion with fluid stagnation, especially in the digestive organs where fluid accumulation can cause abdominal bloating, stomach distension and discomfort, nausea and reflux.*

Atractylodes Root extract – A digestive “Qi tonic” that strengthens digestive organs including the stomach.*

Millet Sprout extract – Promotes digestion; normalizes appetite by strengthening digestive function; enhances the processing and transportation of nutrients.*

Honey mushroom mycelium – Calms nervousness that can interfere with digestive health.*

Other Ingredients: Vegetable capsule, organic rice powder, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca starch, dextrin (from potato or tapioca), silica, vegetable magnesium stearate.

Q: What are the benefits of taking Digestiv?
A: Digestiv relieves discomfort from gas, bloating, and improper digestion; supports regular bowel movements; and strengthens and soothes the digestive system. The product also aids the digestion of protein, fat, and carbohydrates while supporting a healthy microbiome.*

Q: Is Digestiv a probiotic or prebiotic?
A: Digestiv is neither a probiotic nor a prebiotic, and works in a completely different way. Probiotics and prebiotics directly affect the quantity and types of bacteria in the gut (the microbiome); in contrast, Digestiv works to strengthen, balance and soothe digestive organs.* In our 30+ years of working on digestive issues, we’ve found that probiotics and prebiotics are helpful but only a partial solution. We view disorders in the microbiome as the result of, rather than the cause of, digestive dysfunction. By normalizing the function of digestive organs, Digestiv works to correct the actual root of the problem.* We spent decades working on perfecting Digestiv as an all-around solution to digestive health; and based on the feedback we’re getting from customers, we think we’ve nailed it!

Q: How many capsules should I take?
A: Take 1-2 capsules before meals. Digestiv can also be taken after meals. Persons with food sensitivities may want to also take AllerDx.

Q How long will 1 bottle of this product last me?
A: When taken at 2 capsules per day, one bottle will last 30 days.

Q: Is the product vegan?
A: Yes, all Plantiva products are vegan.

Q: Is the product gluten free?
A: Plantiva products are not certified gluten free, but our products are formulated without ingredients that inherently contain gluten. Traces may occur due to cross-contamination in the manufacturing facility.

Q: Does the product contain any commonly known allergens?
A: We strive to avoid known allergens as ingredients. However, we cannot guarantee they are free from traces of allergens that may result from other ingredients processed in the same facilities.

Q: My stomach doesn’t tolerate mushrooms very well. Can I still take your products that have mushroom ingredients?
A: Mushrooms (i.e., fungi) are a diverse kingdom of organisms with a wide range of biochemistries; and different parts of the mushroom also have different biochemistries. Just because grocery store mushrooms (which are fruiting bodies typically of the genus Agaricus) don’t agree with you, doesn’t mean you’ll react the same way to other types of mushrooms. Also, the mushroom in Digestiv can calm the effects of stress on the stomach which can help with tolerance. We always urge caution, but it’s quite possible you’ll find that the mushrooms in our products don’t pose the same problems you’ve had with other mushrooms. As long as there’s no risk of a severe allergic reaction, we suggest you start with just one capsule and see how you feel.

Q: What is mushroom “mycelium” and why do you use it in your products?
A: The mushrooms we normally eat are the “fruiting body” of the fungus, a temporary structure which only appears when the fungus is ready to make spores for reproduction. The main body of the fungus consists of “mycelium”, a fibrous mat of cells that grows through the soil or other substrate. There are biochemical differences between fruiting bodies vs. mycelium. We’ve selected the form that we’ve found to be most efficacious and well-tolerated for our products.
