Your digestive system can be very fragile‚ and it can be thrown into turmoil by changes in diet or increased stress levels. For example‚ a busy work schedule may force you to eat out more often than you’d prefer. The symptoms of digestive problems can be uncomfortable and embarrassing: they include heartburn‚ bloating‚ and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In some cases‚ other factors—such as underlying illnesses‚ gallbladder removal‚ or the overuse of antacids—can reduce the levels of bile and stomach acid present in your body; this can make you more susceptible to issues with digestion‚ including the failure to absorb sufficient amounts of nutrients.
Thorne Research’s Bio-Gest® is a lactose-free digestive aid. Its ingredients allow your stomach to digest proteins more efficiently‚ while also sterilizing your stomach against harmful bacteria and other pathogens in your food. This supplement promotes the absorption of important nutrients such as vitamin B-12‚ calcium‚ iron‚ and magnesium.
The key ingredients in Bio-Gest are the following:

Help with digestion
My doctor recommended I take Bio-Gest since I have a problem digesting animal protein. It seems to be helping. Been using this for about a year now. Great prices from PureFormulas.com.

Bio-Gest has helped my digestion!
I take Bio-Gest by Thorne Research especially after I eat a meal with protein in it. The Betaine Hydrochloride (HCL) in it helps digest proteins. I've used these capsules for several years. Very helpful!
Pros
-
It has several different digestive enzymes in it to digest different kinds of foods: HCL, L-Glutamic Acid, Pancreatin, Ox Bile & Pepsin. This supplement has helped me begin absorbing nutrients in my body again instead of having so much bloating and gas.
Cons
-
Nothing.
