Supplements Explained: Digestive

You may have noticed doTERRA has quite a few supplements all intended to benefit your digestive system.* If you’ve ever wondered why that is, look no further than the statistics. Digestive health is a prime concern for people, and many struggle with digestive issues. doTERRA supplements help keep the various components of the digestive system functioning at their best.*

DigestZen® Softgels

When you want to take DigestZen Digestive Blend with you to soothe occasional stomach discomfort, these softgels are a great option because you don’t have to fill your own vegetable capsule.* With two drops per capsule, you can take one softgel as needed.

Suggested Use:

  • Take after a meal to promote digestion.*
  • When traveling or trying new foods, ingest to soothe occasional stomach discomfort.*
  • Take with water or tea to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.*

DigestZen DigestTab®

This chewable tablet is designed for individuals with sensitive stomachs. Its calcium carbonate works to neutralize and reduce acid.* Ginger, Peppermint, Caraway, Coriander, Anise, Tarragon, and Fennel soothe and support the digestive system.*

Suggested Use:

  • Use as needed for relief from occasional stomach upset and heartburn.*
  • Take one tablet to soothe occasional acid indigestion and help reduce unwanted belching and bloating.*

doTERRA TerraZyme

Your body produces metabolic enzymes from the food you eat. It needs plenty of enzymes to digest food and help cells convert nutrients into energy. However, processed, cooked, and preservative-laden foods in the modern diet are often deficient in enzymes. doTERRA TerraZyme contains a blend of active enzymes and supporting cofactors to make up the difference.*

Suggested Use:

  • Take one to three capsules with meals. Adjust depending on what you’re eating. If you’re eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, take one. If you’re eating highly processed foods, take two to three capsules.

GX Assist®

GX Assist is the natural way to cleanse with both caprylic acid and essential oils.* These ingredients create an unfriendly environment for potential threats that cause digestive issues.*

Suggested Use:

  • Take one to three softgels with meals quarterly. Use for 10 days before PB Assist+®. Don’t take at the same time as PB Assist+.

PB Restore ProBiome Complex®

doTERRA PB Restore ProBiome Complex is a unique formulation of 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics and bacteriophages that help restore microbial diversity and balance for optimal microbiome health and overall wellness.* The 18 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of probiotics, or good bacteria, consist of 24 active cultures—an unparalleled variety of carefully selected strains from 22 different species—for exceptional microbial diversity.* The prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and bacteriophages help achieve and maintain microbial balance by encouraging the growth of good bacteria and selectively attacking the bad.* The postbiotic—made up of bioactive compounds produced from healthy bacteria—provides additional health benefits.*

The doTERRA PB Restore dual-chamber, time-released delivery system supports the body throughout the day.* It aids digestive comfort, micronutrient synthesis, gut barrier integrity, and healthy metabolism.* Metabolites produced by the bacterial strains in doTERRA PB Restore have been shown to support skin health, the respiratory and immune systems, and a healthy inflammatory response.* Early research on certain ingredients—including L. Rhamnosus CRL 1505, the postbiotic in doTERRA PB Restore—indicates they may also help with brain, cardiovascular, urological, and metabolite function, as well as a healthy DNA response to oxidative stress.*

Suggested Uses:

  • Take one double-layer capsule per day to promote the colonization of friendly digestive flora and for ongoing digestive maintenance.*

PB Assist+ ProBio Complex®

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients and eliminating bodily waste from the body. A wide variety of microbes are needed to process food and produce important chemicals that assist the immune system and other bodily functions. A balanced diet is key to building a healthy gut microbiome that’s resilient and adapts quickly to circumstances. Additional support for the gut microbiome can come from supplementation.

Formulated for the entire family and gluten-free, PB Assist+ ProBiome Gut Complex provides a unique blend of diverse genus, species, and strains of pre- and probiotics. This great-tasting strawberry melon–flavored powder should be taken daily. PB Assist+ combines 13 probiotic strains and one prebiotic fiber—fructooligosaccharides (FOS)—for healthy gut colonization.*

The live cultures in PB Assist+ are microencapsulated, meaning they have a protective covering that ensures they survive the harsh, acidic stomach environment so they can reach the gut alive. PB Assist+ delivers seven billion AFUs† (live cells) in active probiotic cultures, as well as soluble prebiotic FOS to encourage friendly bacterial growth, providing important microbiome support.*

AFU stands for active fluorescent units. This unit of measure comes from a modern, sophisticated flow cytometry test method for the precise enumeration of live cells.

Suggested Use:

  • Consume one sachet daily directly or in cold water, juice, or yogurt. Don’t mix with hot water.

Zendocrine Detoxification Complex

Instead of essential oils, this complex contains herbs that traditionally support the liver and detoxification.* It affects the body differently compared to Zendocrine Softgels, meaning you experience new benefits. We recommend trying both to see which works best for you.

Suggested Use:

  • Take two capsules daily (one in the morning and one in the evening) with food to support cleansing organs.*

Create Your Own Essential Oil Blend

Sara Janssen, doTERRA Presidential Diamond in Texas taught me how to create my own blend. Listen to the complete podcast at How to Make Your Own Natural Perfume.

How To Make DIY Natural Essential Oil Perfume

The one thing about blending that you should know. Because, after all, you wouldn’t want to create a combination you detest? You don’t want to mix ingredients, add your priceless oils, and then decide later that you don’t want to use that on your skin. After that, you store it in a drawer. I’m going to tell you some easy strategies to make sure you love it every single time because you don’t want it to happen.

Base Notes, Middle Notes, and Top Notes in Perfume

Don’t over think this, just now that there are three types of notes: base, mid, and top. Additionally, the ratio is a little bit different so that, for example, 20 drops of patchouli and only one drop of bergamot won’t completely overpower the aroma. You should approach it with some consideration. But I don’t want any fear among you. Never be scared to give something new a try. to slightly alter things. If you mix to the ideal ratio and still don’t enjoy the smell, add anything to make it smell a little more like this oil. It’s not necessary to adhere to exactly. Still, I’ll give you some pointers.

I like to start by using the caps of the oils and want to blend and swirl them under my nose to figure out where to start. Then I start smell. 1 drop for those oils I don’t want to overpower the perfume, and up to 4 drops of the scent I most want to be stronger in a small glass bowl or container. The I mix them and put a dab on my wrist. I make notes of each step or test as I go so I can adjust. Remember it is going to smell different on you then in a diffuser or on someone else. Once I get it just right I create it to equal between 40-50 total drops then I put it in a 10 ml rollerbottle and top it off with carrier oil.

I like to use the stickers from https://oilsharingtools.com/. I write the number of drops of each oil on the sticker prior to placing it on the bottle. Then I cover the sticker with packing tape to keep them secured.

If you don’t know where to start, try using diffuser blend recipes to inspire you. I love using the doTERRA 100 diffuser blend idea e-book.

Unlocking Inner Harmony: Embracing Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code

In the journey towards holistic well-being, unlocking the shackles of trapped negative energy and emotions is often pivotal. The Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code methodologies offer profound avenues for releasing these burdens and fostering inner harmony.

Physical and Mental Signs of Trapped Emotions:

  • Foggy mind
  • Feeling worn out and downtrodden
  • Headache
  • Stomach pain
  • Mood swings
  • Temper
  • Restlessness
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Impulsivity
  • Out-of-control emotions
  • See the world in a negative light

Emotion Code

Emotion Code, pioneered by Dr. Bradley Nelson, delves into the energetic imprints left by past emotional experiences. It identifies and releases “trapped” emotions—those lingering within the body and subconscious, disrupting equilibrium. Through the power of intention and muscle testing, practitioners pinpoint and liberate these energetic blockages, restoring emotional balance and vitality.

Body Code

Complementing Emotion Code, Body Code extends the scope to encompass physical and energetic imbalances. It encompasses a comprehensive framework, exploring various facets including emotional, nutritional, structural, and energetic elements. By probing the body’s innate wisdom and utilizing specialized techniques, practitioners unravel the intricate web of imbalances, facilitating profound healing on multiple levels.

Belief Code

The Belief Code is central, addressing deeply ingrained beliefs that shape our reality. By understanding how beliefs influence experiences, it empowers individuals to transform limiting beliefs into supportive ones, reprogramming the subconscious for profound shifts in perception and behavior. This paves the way for a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.

These modalities—Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code—work in synergy to heal holistically, acknowledging the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit. Through targeted interventions, they release trapped negative energy and emotions, enabling profound transformation and growth by addressing the root causes of imbalance.

Recognizing the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for self-healing, these modalities provide a pathway for profound self-discovery and empowerment. They offer gentle yet potent healing methods, respecting each individual’s unique journey and providing a safe space for exploration and growth. Amidst a world of stress and disconnection, they offer hope for reclaiming wholeness and vitality, transcending mere symptom management to usher in a new era of holistic well-being and empowerment.
