Your digestive system is your body’s nutrition pipeline—receiving, processing, and distributing nutrients for energy and growth. AIM products help keep this system running smoothly, from start to finish, so you can get your digestion back on track.
The Digestive System
The main function of digestion is to break food into smaller parts, allowing your body to absorb nutrients and convert them into energy. Its secondary function is to eliminate leftover waste.
The Importance of Fibre and Prebiotics
Most people consume only 15 grams of fibre per day, while the recommended amount is 20–35 grams. Research shows that high-fibre diets can increase survival rates by 22%.
Fibre comes from plants and exists in two forms:
- Soluble fibre – dissolves in water and acts as a prebiotic to feed good gut bacteria
- Insoluble fibre – absorbs water, keeps you fuller for longer, and makes waste easier to pass
Low fibre intake may lead to:
- Weight gain
- Constipation
- Blood sugar fluctuations
- Fatigue
Fibre also helps control cholesterol, improve mineral absorption, and may reduce the risk of diverticulitis, first-time stroke, and the effects of carcinogens from cooked meat.
Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes are proteins that break down food into usable nutrients like energy and amino acids, and they also help with nutrient absorption.
Modern diets often lack natural enzymes because processed or cooked foods destroy them.
Digestive enzymes may help with:
- Gut bacteria growth
- Nutrient absorption
- Tissue repair
- Heartburn, diarrhoea, gas, stomach aches, and constipation
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Immune system support
Probiotics: Your Gut’s Best Friend
Probiotics are living microorganisms that regulate digestion and support gut health. They:
- Balance intestinal pH
- Prevent harmful bacteria from thriving
- Produce B vitamins
- Aid immunity
- Detoxify harmful compounds
Common factors that disrupt your gut microbiome include stress, poor diet, artificial sweeteners, antibiotics, antacids, toxins, and digestion issues.
Probiotics may help with:
- Infectious or traveller’s diarrhoea
- Antibiotic-related digestive problems
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Intestinal infections
- Immune system health
- Yeast infections and UTIs
- Atopic eczema
- Respiratory infections in children
- Tooth decay
