BioDigestBioDigest is formulated to optimize the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and micronutrients. Reduced acid production, associated with various conditions and normal aging, may hinder the absorption of essential micronutrients such as zinc, iron, and vitamin B12, and contribute to bacterial overgrowth in the intestinal tract. Research indicates that the use of hydrochloric acid, combined with betaine and glutamic acid, can normalize gastric pH in individuals with impaired acid production. This normalization, achieved in less than 10 minutes and lasting over 70 minutes, enhances the absorption of substances dependent on low gastric pH.
Furthermore, BioDigest includes pancreatic enzymes aimed at restoring normal digestion in individuals with impaired exocrine pancreatic function. These enzymes, featuring protease, amylase, and lipase activity, facilitate the digestion of all macronutrients. The addition of ox bile not only supports efficient lipid absorption but also enhances proteolysis of dietary protein. Additionally, bile acids exhibit various benefits, including the promotion of brown adipose tissue activity, antimicrobial activity in the small intestine, and systemic metabolic and endocrine effects that were previously unrecognized. These effects influence thyroid function, metabolism, and the homeostasis of glucose and lipids. Lastly, pepsin A, a primary gastric proteolytic enzyme, indirectly stimulates pro-digestive functions by triggering the release of gastrin and CCK.
Benefits
- Broad-spectrum digestive formula designed to enhance carbohydrate, protein, and lipid absorption
- Provides a clinical dose of HCl and a complex of betaine and L-glutamic acid to restore optimal gastric pH in less than 10 minutes
- Provides pancreatic enzymes containing protease, amylase, and lipase for broad-spectrum macronutrient digestion
- Contains pepsin A that acts as a principal protease and key signal for optimal digestion
- Ox bile promotes effective lipid and protein digestion and targets metabolic function and intestinal flora composition

Consult a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner for use beyond 7 days. Use the smallest effective dose that controls your symptoms.
Warnings
Consult a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Consult a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner prior to use if you have faecal impaction or symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever, if you have a peptic ulcer, excess stomach acid, high cholesterol, diabetes, pancreatitis, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, gastrointestinal lesions/ulcers, if you are taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatory agents, are having surgery, or are taking thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, licorice root, or other Health Products or health products which may aggravate electrolyte imbalance. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are sensitive to pancreatic enzymes or pork proteins, have gallstones, bile duct obstruction, abnormal constrictions of the gastrointestinal tract, potential or existing intestinal blockage, atonic bowel, appendicitis, inflammatory colon disease, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, abdominal pain of unknown origin, undiagnosed rectal bleeding, severe dehydration with depleted water or electrolytes, or diarrhea. Laxative effect may occur. Stop use and consult a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner if hypersensitivity/allergy, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, epigastric pain, cramps, spasms, diarrhea, and/or heartburn occur. Keep out of reach of children.
