DigestiZyme Plus (90 Caps)

Description

DigestiZyme Plus (90 Caps)

DigestiZyme Plus is a digestive enzyme supplement designed to support the body’s ability to break down food — especially proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, and sugars — by providing a broad spectrum of exogenous enzymes. Its purpose is to ease digestion, reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and indigestion, and improve nutrient absorption.

It is a plant-based (non-animal) formula, often labelled as vegetarian/vegan compatible and free from common allergens like dairy or gluten (depending on brand formulation).

Mechanism of Action:

• When you ingest a meal, the body releases its own digestive enzymes (in saliva, stomach, pancreas, small intestine) to break down macro-nutrients.

• If there is lower endogenous enzyme production (due to age, GI issues, pancreatic insufficiency, stress, etc.), you may experience poor digestion—symptoms like fullness, bloating, gas, indigestion.

• Taking DigestiZyme Plus around mealtime gives supplemental enzymes to assist in breaking down the food more efficiently, reducing undigested residues, improving absorption, and reducing discomfort.

• The herbal/sap (botanical) components may help by stimulating endogenous digestion (e.g. via bitter principles), soothing GI mucosa, or aiding motility.

Main Benefits:

1. Supports Healthy Digestion

   • Provides a broad range of enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase, lactase, etc.) to help break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, and sugars.

   • Reduces the burden on the digestive system when natural enzyme production is low.

2. Relieves Digestive Discomfort

   • May ease bloating, gas, abdominal cramps, and feelings of fullness by ensuring food is more completely digested.

   • Alpha-galactosidase in the blend helps reduce gas from beans, lentils, and certain vegetables.

3. Improves Nutrient Absorption

   • By breaking food down more efficiently, nutrients such as amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals become more available for absorption.

4. Helps with Food Intolerances

   • Contains lactase, which supports digestion of lactose (milk sugar), helpful for those with mild lactose intolerance.

   • Other enzymes assist with hard-to-digest plant fibers and starches.

5. Supports Gut Comfort & Balance

   • Ginger extract (included in many DigestiZyme Plus formulations) has soothing properties that can support motility and reduce nausea.

   • Herbal cofactors may encourage natural digestive secretions.

6. Non-Animal, Vegetarian Friendly

   • Enzyme sources are plant-based, making it suitable for vegetarians and for people avoiding animal-derived enzymes like pancreatin.
