Do you find it a daunting task to research all of the supplements available today? Are you confused? Overwhelmed? How do you decide which are best for your clients? If you are like me, when I started in my nutrition career, I worked primarily with one supplement product line. When I visit other clinics, I often see dispensaries with products from only one or two companies. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but in order to offer your clients the best products, it may be time to branch out and learn more. I now have 3 top faves for digestion!
In over 25 years of practice, I have learned that no company can offer you everything that you will need to address the deficiencies of each client. Also, each person is unique. When you muscle test a client for a similar product from three different lines, you may be surprised to see that only one of them tests well. Yet, the others may test better for a different client. It is really important to have a variety of tools in your toolkit. It should not be a one size fits all approach. I constantly hear from students and graduates that they don’t get enough training on supplementation or learn which are the best companies and formulas.
Our 3 Top Faves for Digestion
Ultragest™, by Rowland Formulas is one of the few that offers HCl and Bile in addition to other excellent digestive enzymes. It is a must formula for those without a gall bladder. The ingredients exactly duplicate our own digestion. It adds to the body’s own enzymes, rather than becoming a substitute for them. Pancreatin is 8x, double those found in most other formulas. It also has Papain and Bromelain, food source enzymes, to further break down proteins. Peppermint soothes and reduces flatulence. It is tolerated well by most, even for some with ulcers. If not our Diploma in Holistic Nutrition will teach you a healing formula that may solve the problem. Check out our Diploma in Holistic Nutrition
Hypo Zymase by Physica Energetics is an excellent digestive product to support the stomach and the small intestine. It contains HCl (betaine), Glutamic acid, Enzymes, Ox Bile, and Organic (bitter) botanicals to gently and effectively balance the digestive system. It is designed to release the right synergistic ingredients at the correct time and sequence, with the proper level of HCl, to avoid a burning sensation. Hypo Zymase offers the necessary ingredients to help with heartburn, indigestion, gas, and reflux.
The phytoembryotherapy, Phyto B.F.E., by Integrity Health Naturals, is a great solution for all ages, easy to use with kids and elderly, who can’t swallow caps or pills. A combination of phyto ingredients that target specific digestive issues, including malabsorption and pancreatic insufficiency. It also improves lymphatic drainage throughout the GI system and helps improve the microbiome’s beneficial bacteria, post-antibiotic therapy.

Most students and practitioners agree that there isn’t enough teaching of supplements and professional products at nutrition schools. We have included the top professional lines and their top products. These 20 professional lines were chosen because of the care that they take making their product, doing assays, batch testing, end product testing and then sending them out for third party independent testing. This thorough testing process assures you that everything that these companies claim on their label is in the product. We will also update you on the latest Health Canada product criteria. We have built specific protocols, using these products, for health issues that you will see in your practice. These will aid you in making the best recommendations and achieving the best results for your clients.
