Peter Gillham’s Digestion Essentials
Digestion is a vital process necessary for the
breakdown and absorption of nutrients needed
for basic health.
Peter Gillham formulated
Digestion Essentials in order to help eliminate
digestive problems. Its regular use will ensure
that you get the most out of your daily food intake as well
as your nutritional supplementation.

Enzymes act as catalysts to accelerate the rate of chemical
reactions in the body. They are living biochemical factors
that activate and carry out all the biological processes of
the body, including digestion.
There are three main types of digestive enzymes: protease,
which digests proteins; amylase, which digests carbohydrates;
and lipase, which digests fats.
Raw foods come complete with their own sets of specifically
combined enzymes to digest those particular foods.
Today, however, much of our food is cooked or processed.
Unfortunately, when enzymes are exposed to heat they are
no longer able to perform the function for which they
were designed. Eating enzyme-dead foods places a burden
on the pancreas and other organs, which overworks and
eventually exhausts them.
Additionally, levels of digestive enzymes may be lowered
as a result of taking contraceptive pills or other medication,
poor eating habits, or aging. When this happens,
enzyme depletion can result in digestive problems such as
• being overweight
• gas
• bloatedness
• yeast
• acid indigestion
• over acidity
• fatigue
• parasites
• elevated cholesterol levels.
The key to absorption
Deficient enzyme levels can be boosted by taking
Digestion Essentials with each meal or daily as needed.
Digestion is basically the chemical breakdown of large
molecules of food into smaller particles. Digested
molecules of food, water and minerals are absorbed from
the cavity of the upper intestine into the blood where they
are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the
body for storage or further chemical change.
If foods are not properly digested, poor nutritional
absorption can occur. This may result in symptoms such
as abdominal pain, bloating, dehydration and fatigue,
in addition to the problems caused by a deficiency of
specific nutrients. With Digestion Essentials, however, you
can have your cake and digest it too!
What’s in Digestion Essentials?
Betaine HCl: This enzyme is a source of hydrochloric
acid, which aids digestion by breaking down fats and
proteins into molecular form so that the body can
assimilate and utilize them. In addition, it creates a low
pH in the stomach, which destroys ingested bacteria
and any other microorganisms. It helps to maintain
optimal health and avoid malabsorption of food, as
well as other serious health conditions.
Glutamic Acid: Assists in breaking down food into microscopic particles so that it can be digested and assimilated. It is also one of the building blocks in protein synthesis within the body. In addition, it is fuel for the brain to function.
Pepsin: An enzyme that helps in the digestive action of breaking down protein so that the body can assimilate and utilize the protein nutrient value of food.
Papain: An enzyme from papaya that has the property of
speeding up chemical reactions within the cells. It contributes
to the breakdown of food into its molecular form
so as to aid digestion and assimilation of nutrients. It helps
the body in performing all necessary functions to ensure
that it gets the most out of food.
Mycozyme: Mycozyme is an enzyme combination that performs multiple functions in the digestion of food- particularly proteins and fats-and its assimilation and utilization within the body. In addition, mycozyme has a widespread biological activity that assists the body to function as it was designed to. In this regard, it can help avoid a number of significant negative health conditions. It is also a good all-round digestive aid.
Ox Bile: Aids in the digestion of food and the breakup and
removal of cholesterol and fats.
Pancreatin: A digestive enzyme that helps digest proteins
and other nutrients for better assimilation and utilization
by the body. It is beneficial in minimizing inflammation of
various types, and aids in counteracting other digestive
disturbances such as gas, bloating, diarrhea and cramps.
A word from Peter Gillham:
As you can see, with this combination of enzymes we have a superior product designed to get the body functioning as it should. With an improvement in digestion, there will be all sorts of other side benefits occurring. As a result of digestion working better, more nutrition will be extracted from food and the body will function better.
