Digestzymes™

Pancreatic Enzymes with Betaine HCl and Ox Bile for Optimal Digestion of Proteins, Fats, and Carbohydrates*

Key Performance Benefits

• Support for healthy digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates*

• Support for malabsorption and maldigestion*

What This Product Is

Digestzymes™ is a comprehensive formula comprised of a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes along with betaine hydrochloride (HCl) to support the optimal digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This product contains the special protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV), which aids in the breakdown of the peptides gluteomorphin (from gluten), casomorphin (from casein), and soymorphin (from soy). Digestzymes™ also includes lactase to help break down dairy sugar lactose.*

If digestive function is compromised, an individual cannot fully benefit from dietary nutrients regardless of food quality. Stress, aging, digestive disorders, medications, and other conditions may impede digestion by impacting the secretion of stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, or bile — three key elements in the breakdown of food into absorbable components. The use of Digestzymes™ with meals may be helpful for those who experience gas and bloating after eating, occasional constipation, or a feeling of fullness after eating only a small quantity of food.*

Mechanism of Action

Betaine HCl and Stomach Acid Support

Betaine hydrochloride is an excellent source of hydrochloric acid (stomach acid). Adequate HCl is necessary to begin the breakdown of proteins and to trigger the secretion of enzymes that digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It is also necessary for the absorption of iron, vitamins B6, B9, and B12, calcium, and some medications. HCl also protects against harmful pathogens to support a balanced microbiome.*

Proprietary Digestive Enzyme Blend

The pancreatic enzyme blend includes pepsin and proteases to break down protein, amylases and glucoamylase to break down carbohydrates, lactase to digest lactose, and lipase to digest fats and fat-soluble vitamins. The special protease DPP IV aids in the breakdown of hard-to-digest proteins in wheat, soy, and milk.*

Ox Bile and Fat Emulsification

Ox bile extract provides bile acids that are key to the digestion of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Bile acids emulsify dietary fats, making them accessible to lipase enzymes for proper breakdown and absorption.*

Applications

• Individuals seeking comprehensive digestive enzyme support for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates*

• Those experiencing gas, bloating, or discomfort after meals*

• Individuals with compromised digestive function due to stress, aging, or medications*

• Those seeking support for the breakdown of gluten, casein, and soy peptides through DPP IV*

• Individuals looking for combined enzyme, HCl, and bile acid support in a single formula*

Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights

Betaine HCl

Supports proper stomach acidity for protein digestion, nutrient absorption (iron, B vitamins, calcium), and a balanced microbiome by destroying harmful pathogens.*

Proprietary Digestive Enzyme Blend with DPP IV

A comprehensive blend of proteases, amylases, glucoamylase, lactase, and lipase for complete macronutrient digestion. Includes dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) for the breakdown of hard-to-digest proteins in wheat, soy, and milk.*

Ox Bile Extract

Provides bile acids to support fat emulsification and the digestion of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Non-GMO.*

Suggested Use

Take 1 capsule per meal, or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Product Questions

What is DPP IV and why is it included?

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) is a special protease enzyme that aids in the breakdown of hard-to-digest proteins found in wheat (gluteomorphin), dairy (casomorphin), and soy (soymorphin). Its inclusion provides targeted support for individuals who may have difficulty digesting these common dietary proteins.*

How does Digestzymes™ differ from Betaine HCl?

Digestzymes™ is a comprehensive formula that combines betaine HCl with a full spectrum of pancreatic digestive enzymes and ox bile for complete macronutrient digestion support. Betaine HCl provides supplemental stomach acid alone. Digestzymes™ is ideal for those seeking all-in-one digestive support, while standalone Betaine HCl may be preferred when only stomach acid support is needed.*

Who may benefit most from Digestzymes™?

Individuals experiencing gas, bloating, occasional constipation, or feelings of fullness after small meals. Those whose digestive function may be compromised by stress, aging, digestive disorders, or medications. Anyone seeking comprehensive support for the digestion and absorption of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.*
