Fort Lauderdale, FL, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eating is one of life’s greatest joys, but sometimes food doesn’t sit well, resulting in bloating and other post-meal discomforts. To combat occasional gas and bloating discomfort, Life Extension has introduced an innovative formula that promotes digestive comfort. Bloat Relief combines artichoke and ginger extract with fennel seed oil and turmeric extract to promote gastrointestinal health and function and relieve digestive discomfort.
“We chose each ingredient in this formula carefully,” said Dr. Michael Smith, Life Extension’s Director of Education. “We combined artichoke leaf and ginger root extract to encourage healthy peristalsis, the wave-like movement of food down the digestive tract. The fennel seed oil and turmeric extract combo help relieve bloating and support a healthy digestive system.”
According to Dr. Smith, the key to relieving digestive discomfort is reducing gas production and encouraging the body to process food more efficiently. When food doesn’t move down the digestive tract properly, or when bacteria that help break down food produce excessive gas as a byproduct, it can cause occasional bloating and abdominal discomfort.
Formulated with Prodigest®, a patented blend of artichoke leaf and ginger root extract, Bloat Relief promotes healthy bile flow from the liver, which is another way to encourage food down the digestive tract. Meanwhile the ginger encourages gastric emptying (keeping food “moving along” its digestive journey).
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects taking Prodigest® reported a marked improvement in stomach comfort and bloating after just two weeks.1 Another study used ultrasound to measure each patient’s stomach size before and after eating—results showed a significant reduction in stomach size consistent with improvements in gastric motility for the Prodigest® group.2
Bloat Relief’s inclusion of fennel seed oil was designed to inhibit excessive gas producing activity of bacteria in the digestive tract, which helps relieve bloating. It encourages healthy muscle contractions, contributing to food moving down the digestive tract.6-8 It also contains turmeric, which promotes a healthy digestive system. Several studies published in medical journals support fennel’s reputation, and a study using fennel seeds combined with turmeric, produced improvements in digestive comfort and bloating when compared to a placebo group.3-6
