Triad of Global Digestion

The triad of global digestion refers to the three key components of healthy digestion: the stomach, pancreas, and gallbladder. These three organs work together to ensure that food is properly broken down and absorbed by the body.

The stomach is responsible for breaking down food using stomach acid and digestive enzymes. The pancreas produces enzymes that help to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The gallbladder stores and releases bile, which helps to emulsify fats in the small intestine.

When all three components of the triad of global digestion are functioning properly, food is broken down into small particles that can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream. If one or more of these components is not functioning properly, it can lead to digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and indigestion.
