Product insights

  • Advanced Digestive Enzymes provides a comprehensive blend of HCl, pepsin, pancreatic enzymes, and ox bile to support optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Betaine HCl and L-Glutamic Acid HCl create an acidic environment in the stomach, which is crucial for protein digestion and the activation of pepsin.
  • Pancreatin, a mixture of amylase, protease, and lipase, aids in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, respectively, enhancing nutrient bioavailability.
  • Ox bile concentrate supports fat emulsification, which is essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and essential fatty acids.

Suggested use

From the manufacturer
Take 1-2 capsules with each meal or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.

The research

3 cited studies
1.
Hydrochloric Acid Supplementation

Studies suggest that HCl supplementation can improve gastric acidity, which is essential for protein digestion and nutrient absorption, particularly in individuals with age-related decline in gastric acid production.

2.
Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy

Research indicates that pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy can significantly improve fat digestion and reduce steatorrhea in patients with pancreatic insufficiency.

3.
Ox Bile and Fat Malabsorption

Ox bile supplementation has been shown to enhance fat emulsification and absorption, particularly in individuals with impaired bile acid production or fat malabsorption syndromes.
