Digestive Guide
How Digestion Works
A concise tour from chewing and stomach processing through small-intestinal digestion, absorption and the colon.
The digestive sequence
Digestion combines mechanical processing, acid, enzymes, bile and intestinal transport. The colon absorbs water and contains dense microbial communities.
Why this matters for supplement claims
Terms such as enzymes, bile, microbiome and regularity describe different parts of digestive physiology. A product mentioning several does not automatically improve all of them.
