Digestion: Intestines
built 628 days ago
In the small intestine, digestion occurs slowly, with a little bit of food at a time. Food moves through to the second part of the small intestine, the jejunum, and through to the ileum, which absorbs Vitamin B12 and ... bile acids from the liver and gallbladder. This movement and digestion of food in the small intestine can last from thirty minutes to three hours.

The rectum is the last part of the large intestine in humans, and no digestion or absorption of food takes place there. The cloaca (klo-A-ka) is the end of the line where waste from the digestive and urinary tract, and a little other stuff, accumulate before being dumped.

This is a critical, but easy, prerequisite for improved digestion and assimilation. Try using a blend of healing herbs, nutrients, and fibers to provide a natural, gentle “broom” to gradually rejuvenate intestinal function.
