It contains three ingredients. The main ingredient is a predigested fish concentrate containing a significant level of small chain peptides. This is a whole food ingredient, in other words it is powdered fish. It has all the nutrient value of the fish fillet that is used to make it. A gentle biological process breaks the protein in the fish down to amino acids and small chain peptides.
Peptides are small chains of amino acids still linked together.
Research in the critical care environment has shown that these small chain peptides help heal the intestinal lining. The second ingredient in Foundation Formula is probiotics. These are the beneficial bacteria that live in our intestines and help to digest and absorb the food we eat. Many people because of diet choices and use of antibiotics lose the necessary balance of good bacteria. Even main stream medical doctors are beginning to recommend supplemental probiotics to their patients taking antibiotics.
