All about Essential1: Digestive Health
Restoring optimal balance
The health of your digestive system determines how you are able to
absorb the nutrients essential to maintaining your metabolism, your
immune system, and even your moods.
Aging, poor health, medications, and other factors can lead to
declines in the amount of both "good" bacteria and digestive enzymes in
your digestive system, but a daily dose of Essential1: Digestive Health
can help to restore them.
TWO pills, TWO ways to benefit
The two customized pills in Essential1: Digestive Health provide a
unique formulation of probiotics and natural digestive
enzymes.
The probiotic capsule contains three strains of "good"
bacteria (ones most commonly found in a healthy digestive tract) in a
prebiotic medium, which feeds the good bacteria and allows it to
flourish.
The goal is to restore the good bacteria, and create favorable
conditions for keeping the "bad" bacteria under control.
The capsule contains just the right amount of healthy bacteria-some
4.5 billion altogether, including...
- Bifidobacteria, the most abundant and
important bacterium in the intestine.
- Lactobacillus
acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, two potent immunity-enhancing
bacteria.
The enzyme tablet blends 14 natural digestive enzymes to help your
body break down food more easily -and with less intestinal gas and
bloating - as you incorporate more healthy foods into your diet.

All about Essential1: Digestive Health
Better health at EVERY stage
BEFORE STARTING THE MEDIFAST 5 & 1 PLAN
When beginning the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, enzymes and pre- and probiotics
can prime your digestive tract and gear it up to do the metabolic work
it needs to do.
Essential1: Digestive Health can help restore your digestive tract's
good bacteria, and allow you to metabolize and absorb nutrients for
optimal weight loss.
DURING THE MEDIFAST 5 & 1 PLAN
As we get older, our bodies don't produce the same amounts of digestive
enzymes as they once did, especially if we have a poor diet.
Large amounts of fats and sugars, along with too few raw vegetables, can
speed up the natural decline in our digestive enzymes.
Any time you make an adjustment in your diet (including when you start
the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan), you may experience gas, bloating, or changes
in "regularity."
The digestive enzyme tablet can help your body break down fats, protein,
and carbohydrates, as well as lactose (milk sugar) and fiber, from your
Medifast Meals and your Lean & Green Meals.
TRANSITION, MAINTENANCE, AND BEYOND
Once you reach your healthy weight and begin to transition to the
Maintenance Phase, you'll be gradually re-introducing more vegetables,
fruits, dairy products, and whole grains back into your eating plan.
Taking Essential1: Digestive Health supports you as you ease your way
into lifelong healthy eating patterns, and helps you continue to feel
great, day after day.
