Bio-Gestin supplies a powerhouse of enzyme assistance throughout the digestive system. Chymo papain and papain also exhibit muco-lytic (mucous digesting) properties. Studies have even shown that green papaya's enzymes selectively digest hardened, injured, or excessive tissues with little or no invasiveness to healthy tissue and have been used therapeutically for that purpose. Some phytonutrients in Bio-Gestin help to restore proper intestinal flora and have vermifugal, amoebicidal, and antibacterial properties. So, using Bio-Gestin may increase nutrient absorption and help to create a healthier intestinal tract. For those with too little stomach acid, green papaya may take the burden off digestive organs. It has also been used for over acidity or borderline ulcers as less stomach acid is required for digestion when abundant enzymes are ingested. As an herb, Bio-Gestin is a wonderful balancer for the entire digestive system.
