The active ingredient in Pro-Gest is papain which is derived
from the papaya and is a marvelous digestant for proteins. Other ingredients include
papaya seed meal, Russian black radish, and betaine hydrochloride in a base of
dried extracted juice from the whole beet (including leaves) grown on organically
treated soil where no chemical fertilizers or insecticides are used. The betaine
hydrochloride acts to supplement the natural hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
In the present day of refined, processed, treated and fragmented foods, our
bodies often do not have digestive juices of sufficiently high quality. This
is especially true of the stomach. Many people over 30 years of age have a poor
quality of hydrochloric acid, and without it are unable to properly digest foods.
If foods pass out of the stomach improperly digested, poor nutrition is contributed
to because of inadequate assimilation.
