Systemic Formulas D - Digest provides an enzyme solution that promotes digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. A broad spectrum digestive support formula that promotes proper levels of digestive acids and enzymes. This formula has two primary uses: Use with food for broad, digestive benefits. Use between meals to breakdown undigested protein and lipid artifacts. Nutritional health is based on the intake, assimilation and utilization of “non-self” materials (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, nutrient factors) and converting them to “self.” A key factor in this process is proper digestion of ingested foods. Comprehensive enzyme supplementation supports the broad range of dietary intake Indications: Support normal digestive processes Help for digestion of heavy meals Help with absorption of cellular nutrients Support normal digestion activity Any cooked meal to compensate for loss of inherent food enzymes People over 30 years old (enzyme production decreases with age) Digestive support for normal digestion of potentially allergenic food molecules Help engage the body’s normal release of pancreatic enzymes Support the body’s innate microbial balance processes Support lower bowel programs Ingredients: Lipase - A class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of fats. Performs an essential role in the digestion, transport, and processing of fats for cell membranes and beta oxidation energy processes. Protease/Peptidase - A class of enzymes including trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pepsin that help break down proteins into usable amino acids for cellular processes. Amylase - Enzymes that break down carbohydrates into smaller carbohydrate molecules for cellular energy processes.. Ox Bile - Helps digest food and support healthy liver and gall bladder processes. Betaine HCl - (Hydrochloric Acid) - facilitates normal digestive processes and parietal cell integrity. Goldenseal – An herb with a long history of supporting healthy digestive processes as well as GI tract microbial balance. Aspartic Acid – Also known as aspartate, is an a-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. A nutrient necessary for normal digestive metabolic processes. L-Glutamic Acid – Works in tandem with Betaine HCl to stimulate natural HCl. Ammonium Chloride – Helps support normal digestive processes. A pH buffer. Provides chlorides for normal HCl production. Cream of Tartar – A source of potassium electrolytes necessary for bowel function. COUNT: 60 capsulesRECOMMENDED USAGE: 1-2 capsules up to twice a day for 1-3 months, or as directed. Then take as needed for maintenance. Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
