How to make pre-digested nutrients

[nogutsnoglory]

I was reading about the nutritional supplement Absorbplus. One of the perks is the nutrients are pre-digested making it very easy for the GI and blood stream to absorb the food quickly.

How would I go about making stuff pre-digested if I want to make my own nutritional shake?

Pre-digesting involves a lacto-fermentation process which breaks food down to it's basic elements. So looking up items you can ferment might be a way to do it. I believe juicing is also technically predigested food as well.

If you Google, you will find more information to help answer your thread as well as articles that suggest it may not be the best choice to relieve digestive issues. I am posting one general link as an example:

Although a novel approach to dealing with digestive impairment, consumption of predigested protein might not afford any real benefits over a comparable solid-food diet. A study conducted at the Children's Memorial Health Institute in Poland, published in the Jan 2004 edition of the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, found no measurable difference in digestibility or acquired energy when comparing hydrolyzed versus non-hydrolyzed proteins in individuals with short bowel syndrome.
