Digestion and you
Digestion is a sensitive process.
If one thing falls out of sync you’re quick to know about it. Because everything is inter-connected, stress, exercise and diet all play their parts; that’s why it’s important to keep your body and mind balanced, happy and healthy so that digestive complaints are kept at bay.
Sunsweet® prune juice provides sorbitol which is digested slowly and can help to add bulk and softeness to the stools.
How it works
Step 1
Sunsweet prune juice and food is taken into your body (ingestion)
Step 2
Muscular contractions move it down into your oesophagus (a muscular tube) into your stomach
Step 3
Sunsweet Prune Juice mixes with juices in your stomach, and with further muscular contractions moves into your duodenum where nutrients are broken down into even more soluble forms.
Step 4
The nutrients from Sunsweet Prune juice are absorbed along with other soluble nutrients into your blood stream
Step 5
Sunsweet Prune juice is full of water and sorbitol. As it moves into your large intestine (colon) the water is absorbed and the sorbitol can help to add bulk and softness to your stools.
