DIGESTION:

The first point to maintain and restore health is the need to resolve problems of poor digestion and maintain good digestive health.

The body is born with a certain quantity of enzymes which are required to maintain health and vitality. If these enzymes are depleted in the body, the body becomes diseased and gradually expires. It is therefore vital to maintain a constant living enzyme supply thorough proper food intake in order to insure good health and vitality. The process used to "predigest" the nutrients in Prime Directive helps solve this problems.

Living enzymes are introduced into the body along with a broad spectrums of essential nutrients that the body needs.

During the careful processing of Prime Directive the complete lactobacillus family of 13 is present which release the valuable nutrients through a 3 week fermentation process. The process allows for these to remain so they are available to replace and replenish the missing flora that is necessary for digestion

It is vital that we eliminate bad bacteria frown the intestinal tract. Antibiotic therapy, colas, preservatives, chlorine, fluorides, sugars and alcohol kill the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract.

This allows the "bad" bacteria to gain a foothold and our health may well be effected and decay.

Prime Directive contains a super strain of 13 Lactobacillus Bacteria that promotes a healthy environment in the intestinal tract that is at the base of all good health..

The digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed with the teeth. The process stimulates exocrine glands in the mouth to release digestive enzymes such as salivary amylase, which aid in the breakdown of food, particularly carbohydrates.

Chewing also causes the release of saliva, which helps condense food into a bolus (small mushy portions) that can be easily passed through the esophagus to the stomach. In the stomach, food is churned and thoroughly mixed with acid and other digestive enzymes with digestive fluid to further decompose it chemically.

As the acidic level changes in the stomach and later parts of the digestive tract, more enzymes are activated or deactivated to extract and process various nutrients.

After being processed in the stomach, food is passed to the small intestine where it is further mixed with secretions such as bile, which helps aid in fat digestion, and insulin, to process sugars.

Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine, after which food is passed to the large intestine. Blood which has absorbed nutrients passes through the liver for filtering, removal of toxins and help processing of nutrients. In the large intestine, water is reabsorbed, and leftover waste is excreted by defaecation.

The gastrointestinal tract is sterile at birth, but colonization typically begins within a few hours of birth, starting in the small intestine and progressing over a period of several days. In most circumstances, a "mature" microbial flora is established by 3 to 4 weeks of age.
