First of all, the FDA does not evaluate dietary supplements. That does not mean they are bad, neither does it mean they are good. You have to be smart about what you take.

I did some research on digestrin for you. It is mostly and herbal complex of mostly common herbs, a couple of which are controversial, including St. Johns Wort and Echinacea. The product seems to depend almost entirely on the herbal complex, and it doesn't look like it's anything that specatcular. I do not know anything about it's effectiveness, and have not had any experience with it, but I will say this: It is very pricy, and the website is set up like many of the less-reputable ones to be found on the web. I would suggest caution. You may be better off trying some of the individual and safer herbs in digestrin, especially ginger root and valerin, and see if they help, as they will be much cheaper. I'll give you the url to the "fact sheet", on which they have the label info:

http://www.digestrin.com/fact.html

Note that there isn't a link to this page on the main website, and they only give it to you after you submit your name and email. Seems a little fishy to me.

I hope this was helpful.
