Digestive Complete

Take two capsules with each meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. If you have a history of peptic or duodenal ulcer, are pregnant or nursing, or take medication, consult your healthcare professional before use. Maintain adequate hydration with meals.

• Broad-Spectrum Enzyme Blend (porcine: protease, amylase, lipase, pepsin) — assists the breakdown of proteins, carbs, and fats to support digestive comfort and nutrient availability; recent RCTs show multi-enzyme formulas can acutely reduce post-meal bloating in healthy adults.
• Betaine HCl — supplemental gastric acid that can temporarily lower gastric pH in pharmacologically induced low-acid conditions, supporting protein digestion.
• Ox Bile — source of bile salts that emulsify dietary fats, facilitating lipase action and fat-soluble nutrient absorption.
• L-Taurine — conditionally essential amino sulfonic acid involved in cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function.
• Gentian (Gentiana), Dandelion (Taraxacum), Fennel (Foeniculum) — traditional bitters and carminatives with emerging human and mechanistic data for GI support (gastric secretions, motility, and comfort).
