Ingredients Found in Nature
Protein-Digesting Enzymes
A class of enzymes that help break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Proteases are found in humans, animals, plants and microbes. Peptides and amino acids play an essential role in digestion, tissue building, energy metabolism, immune function, and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters, which influence mood regulation and cognitive functions.*
Carb & Fiber Digesting Enzymes
Containing amylases, cellulases, xylanases, and others, this category of enzymes helps break down complex carbohydrates and fibers into simpler sugars, aiding digestion. The simpler sugars are used as a quick and efficient energy source for cellular functions. For example, glucose, one key byproduct of starch breakdown, is particularly crucial for brain function and physical activity.*

Fat-Digesting Enzymes
A class of enzymes that help break down fats into fatty acids. Lipases are found in humans, animals, plants and microbes. The fatty acids produced by lipase are used for the body's essential functions like energy, cell function, organ protection and nutrient absorption.*

Dairy-Digesting Enzymes
A highly specific enzyme produced by all young mammals to break down lactose, the large primary sugar found in milk. Lactase’s unique ability to break down lactose allows humans to consume more milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy with fewer symptoms of gas, bloating and discomfort associated with lactose intolerance.*

Anti-Gas & Bloating Enzymes
Plants can be challenging for humans to digest (for example, beans) because they contain complex carbohydrates that humans simply do not have the digestive enzymes to break down. If they aren't digested and absorbed, they often ferment in the gut, leading to bloating and gas. These enzymes help to break down these difficult-to-digest foods, easing digestive discomfort and alleviating gas and bloating often associated with dairy consumption.*
Gluten-Digesting Enzymes
A unique complex of proteases designed to break down difficult-to-digest protein bonds found in gluten. Digest-GI Extra Strength contains DPP-IV enzyme activity to help reduce the size of gluten molecules and increase digestibility.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Your body makes a wide variety of digestive enzymes to help you break down food. A good diet can also supplement the enzymes produced by the diet.
In today's world modern diets and lifetstyles can challenge our digestive systems. No matter how hard you try (and let’s be real, no one is perfect), its very difficult to eat well. Processed foods, insufficient fiber, and stress can all impact digestion, making it harder for your body to fully benefit from the food you eat.
Digestive enzyme supplements make it easier to get the most out of your food with less stress on your digestive system.*
Imagine you eat a burrito. Different digestive enzymes will target different parts of the burrito. Amylases will work on the carbs in the rice and tortilla, proteases will hit the protein in beans and meat, and lipases will act on the fats in the sauce, meat and cheese. Enzymes are highly efficient and very focused. For example, lactase helps break down the lactose in the cheese, but will not work on the bloat-inducing sugars found in the beans--for that you need alpha-galactosidase. To maximize digestion of a delicious meal, you need a wide array of enzymes that can attack all the different substrates and bonds found in the food you eat.*
Simply put, digestive enzymes have to work on food. If you take them too early or too late after eating, it won't hurt you, but they won't work as well.*
Our enzymes are safe for human consumption and undergo rigorous regulatory review. Side effects are rare and typical only at the beginning of your digestive enzyme journey as you sort through what works for your body. Some people experience mild cramping, bloating or gas. We recommend you start low and go slow until a tolerance is established.*
Digestive enzymes aid in digestion of food. We recommend you take digestive enzymes just prior to eating, but if you miss a dose, we recommend you take them directly after your meal.*
Real people, real reviews
"This product was new, unopened and fresh. It works very well on my digestion problem. The product is a marvel at helping me digest my food and cuts way down on that bloated, overly full feeling, heartburn, etc."
- Jack
"I have had gas and bloating for over 30 years with an undiagnosable cause. There were a multitude of foods which caused these symptoms and it often made life very challenging. These enzymes completely solved the problems and I never have the symptoms anymore!"
