Updated Protocol for Digestive and Intestinal Health
introduction
Digestive health is the basis of multiple metabolic, immunological and hormonal processes.
Conditions such as reflux, bloating, slow digestion, and intestinal dysbiosis are often related to low stomach acidity, altered microbiota, and inefficient digestion of proteins and fats.
This integrative protocol is designed to:
- Improve gastric digestion
- Reduce intestinal inflammation
- Optimize nutrient absorption
- Support liver detoxification and mitochondrial energy
This approach can be used independently or as a complement to other digestive or anti-inflammatory protocols.
Objective of the Protocol
- Increase heartburn for efficient protein digestion
- Modulate the intestinal microbiota and reduce inflammation
- Support fat digestion and energy metabolism
- Reduce symptoms such as reflux, heaviness, gas and bloating
Recommended starting length: 4 to 8 weeks
Important: consult a healthcare professional before starting, especially in cases of gastritis, ulcers or the use of proton pump inhibitors.
Major Supplements and Clinical Rationale
Breakthrough HCL (Betaine HCl)
It supports the restoration of adequate gastric acid levels.
Key Benefits:
- Improves protein digestion
- It increases absorption of iron, vitamin B12 and calcium
- Reduces reflux associated with hypochlorhydria
- Reduces swelling and a feeling of heaviness
Clinical evidence shows that betaine HCl can rapidly lower gastric pH, improving digestion and nutrient absorption.
Berberine Breakthrough
It modulates the intestinal microbiota and reduces digestive inflammation.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces intestinal dysbiosis
- Relieves abdominal pain and functional diarrhea
- It promotes beneficial bacteria such as Akkermansia
- Improves intestinal barrier integrity
Clinical trials have demonstrated significant improvements in digestive symptoms after 8 weeks of continuous use.
KAPEX (Digestive and Metabolic Support)
It optimizes fat digestion and liver function.
Key Benefits:
- Improves fat digestion in low-carb or keto diets
- It increases bile production and flow
- Supports mitochondrial energy through activation of AMPK
- Reduces symptoms of “keto flu” and digestive fatigue
Ideal for people with slow fat digestion or feeling nauseous after lipid-rich meals.
Daily Supplementation Scheme
Dosages should be adjusted according to individual tolerance.
With main meals
- HCL Breakthrough
Start with 1 capsule with protein-rich foods
Adjust progressively according to tolerance - Berberine Breakthrough
Take with meals to minimize nausea
Divide daily dose if needed - KAPEX
Take with foods that contain fats
Especially useful for breakfast and dinner
Implementation Day Example
- Breakfast:
HCL + Berberine + KAPEX - Lunch:
HCL + Berberine - Dinner:
HCL + KAPEX
This scheme promotes constant digestion and reduces gastrointestinal overload.
Complementary Dietary Recommendations
- Prioritize high-quality proteins
- Include healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, fish)
- Reduce refined and ultra-processed sugars
- Increase fibrous vegetables for microbiota support
Monitoring and Settings
- Evaluate digestive symptoms weekly
- Reduce doses of HCL if burning occurs
- Always take berberine with food if you are sensitive
- Adjust KAPEX if used together with other products with HCL
Contraindications and Precautions
- Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical supervision
- Caution in people with active gastric ulcers
- Berberine may interact with glucose medications
Conclusion
Most digestive problems are not caused by excess acid, but by functional deficiency in digestion and microbial imbalance.
This protocol offers a clinical and evidence-based strategy to restore digestive function, reduce inflammation and improve nutrient absorption in a sustainable manner.
Before starting any supplementation, always consult your primary doctor or health professional.
