Digestive Enzymes

Maximize your nutrient absorption and gastric acid balance with Support Digestion, a powerful digestive enzyme blend. 
 
Target both phases of digestion with enzymes that work together to improve nutrient absorption and reduce discomfort
Promote digestive comfort, balance gut pH, and help reduce stomach aches, diarrhea, and constipation
Contains plant enzymes as well as pancreatin and ox bile extract, to optimize gastric acid levels and meat protein digestion
 
Broad-Spectrum Digestive Enzymes
Your digestive system must break food down into nutrients that your body can absorb and assimilate. But due to aging, hectic lifestyles, environmental stressors, and less than optimal dietary habits like insufficient chewing, the digestive process is compromised, and nutritional uptake is impacted, leading to malabsorption and ill health. Health suffers the longer this malabsorption is allowed to continue.
 
Potent Enzyme Supplement for Gut Health
Depletion of enzymes and stomach acid is a natural consequence of aging and chronic stress. Without supplementation of acid and enzymes, proteins may not be digested, leading to GI problems and increased risk for serious disorders due to the oppressive effects of toxin overload.
Impaired digestive function leads to many health problems that are often considered “normal” and often addressed with synthetic over-the-counter medications. Such problems include gas, acid-reflux, bloating, heartburn, and constipation. Side-effect heavy medications are rarely necessary, if you make healthy diet choices and supplement with enzymes, probiotics, and other digestive support nutrients.
 
The Support Digestion Advantage
Support Digestion strategically delivers enzyme support to each phase of digestion. In the gastric phase, plant-based enzymes, and ox bile extract work in the stomach, promoting optimal pH and initiating the breakdown of macronutrients. This prepares for the second stage of digestion, the enteric phase, in which pancreatin 8x – containing the powerful enzymes protease, amylase, lipase and trypsin – is activated in the small intestine for optimal protein and fat breakdown. †
 
The Formula: Purpose
Pancreatin 10X USP – This potent form of pancreatin is a blend of pancreatic enzymes that boosts the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Pancreatin 8X contains eight times the enzyme activity of regular strength pancreatin.
Pepsin – A multifaceted digestive enzyme to promote protein digestion, neutralize bacteria that invade your stomach, and facilitate the absorption of vitamin B12. It is present in gastric juice when digestive function is performing at its best, but often needed in supplement form as we age and encounter compromised gut health.
Ox Bile Extract – To efficiently digest fats, enhance absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, neutralize small intestinal acidity, and promote gut motility and detox. It is especially helpful for individuals dealing with impaired liver function and chronic GI symptoms.
Papain – Derived from the tropical papaya plant, this enzyme catalyzes protein digestion so that your body can utilize peptides for critical metabolic reactions. It’s often consumed specifically to address loose stools and malabsorption.
Bromelain – This acidic pineapple derivative supports protein digestion and targets inflammatory pathways to help guard your gut and ease aches. Due to its inflammation-reducing properties, some people use it as an adjunct therapy to treat inflammatory bowel disorders.
