Many digestive track disorders are the result of the improper amount of bile secretions, lack of digestive enzymes to break down food properly, or the overgrowth of yeast. The digestive track should work harmoniously, just like a finely directed orchestra. Too much of one thing is very distracting and overpowering, for instance, too much bile can cause diarrhea. The lack of certain components will not allow the full benefit that should be enjoyed, another instance, too little bile can cause constipation. Zime allows the body to balance the digestive function, supplying to it the building blocks for digestive enzymes, balancing the pH, thinning down thickened bile so that it flows freer, encouraging the growth of friendly flora that reduces candida overgrowths, decreasing the ability of Shigella and Salmonella to reproduce, and other bacteria-like invasions, making healthy the membranes of the digestive track so that these foreign bacteria can not damage. Zime also facilitates putting nutrients into the blood stream. A couple of Zime capsules should stop nausea. I've had people tell me that they took the Zime and threw up, so it "didn't do any good." Vomiting, throwing up, hurling, lurching, spewing…whatever you want to call it…can serve a useful purpose. For those that say this to me, I tell them to take it again but this time it's going into a cleaner stomach and will be able to sooth the membranes instead of just cleaning them out. I don't want to give people the impression that when you take Zime you are going to throw up. Zime helps stop the nausea and settle the stomach. If your digestive track is so far out of order that you can't keep anything down, you can make this formula into tea. Regardless of whether you take it in capsule or tea form it will allow the body to normalize it's digestive track functions. When you are to the point that you feel transparent…it is a good thing. Zime is beneficial in nausea and diarrhea, stomach flu, stomach cramps, gas, heartburn. This is a "have your cake and eat it too" formula. Persistent digestive track disorders should encourage you to look at your diet because it is not normal to feel that way.    Traditional use of the contents: Century is a digestive tonic that helps normalize bile secretions.
