The Digestion category encompasses a range of over-the-counter (OTC) solutions designed to manage common gastrointestinal issues and support overall digestive health. These products are generally categorized by the specific symptoms they address:
Heartburn and Indigestion Relief: Products formulated to neutralize stomach acid or create a protective barrier to prevent acid reflux. Common options include chewable tablets and liquid suspensions (e.g., Gaviscon Double Action, Rennie Orange, and Gaviscon Original Aniseed).
Fiber and Regularity: Supplements and bulking agents intended to assist with bowel movements and alleviate constipation.
Probiotics and Gut Health: Formulations containing live bacteria or yeasts (e.g., Vitabiotics Probiotis) designed to support the natural balance of microflora in the digestive tract.
Stomach Upset and Diarrhea: Targeted treatments to slow down overactive digestion or replenish electrolytes lost during illness.
Enzyme Support: Specialist supplements (e.g., Wellzyme) containing digestive enzymes to assist the body in breaking down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
These digestive aids are available in various formats—including liquids, chewable tablets, and capsules—to provide either immediate symptomatic relief or long-term maintenance of digestive function.
