Elemental Gold provides foods which give you complete nutrition where the ingredients are in the most broken-down forms possible. This allows for rapid absorption whilst minimising the risk of triggering sensitive digestive systems.
Element Gold is one of the few elemental products available in Australia which not only tastes great but includes enough protein to prevent you losing weight and especially muscle mass. Element Gold utilises ion exchange whey processing which removes lactose and casein whilst preserving most of the protein from the milk. On top of this only contains natural flavourings and colours and contains organic and non-GMO ingredients where possible.
Element Gold is the perfect product if you have a sensitive digestive system, trouble chewing or swallowing, difficulty digesting or absorbing nutrients. It is also suitable for:
- Crohn’s disease
Element Gold can be used as a source of nutrition during a flare up or after surgery. The chocolate flavour is delicious, and it will not feel like a chore to give your body the nutrition it needs.
- During Cancer Treatment
The elemental formula is perfect to promote weight gain during chemotherapy infusions when other foods are not tolerated. Fat is normally added to the supplement.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Element Gold unsweetened vanilla flavour is certified by Monash as a low FODMAP food. It is the perfect choice to use when travelling and not sure what choices you will have on the road which will be low FODMAP. If you have diarrhoea predominant IBS it may help reduce bloating and diarrhoea. It can used as a sole source for several days or as a one off when at school or work.
One study of patients with IBS and an abnormal lactulose breath test undertook an exclusive elemental diet for 14 days. Of the 93 patients who completed the diet, 80% returned a normal lactulose breath test on day 15. Of these, 66.4% reported improved bowel symptoms one month after they had completed the diet showing not only immediate benefit but lasting benefit after the diet had concluded.
- SIBO
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) usually requires antibiotics to help resolve. Element Gold can also be used in conjunction with additional medical treatment to help to reduce the bacterial population of the large intestine and subsequent gas production there. As around 60% of the shake is absorbed high up in the gut. This leaves very little to go through to the large bowel, essentially starving the bacteria that are there, dramatically reducing and changing the composition of the microbiome there which are causing you the gut symptoms.
Take home message: Element Gold can provide your body with an easy to digest, complete nutrition source which can ensure you get the nutrients you need. Always use in conjunction with a health professionals’ advice.
