Digestive enzymes for individuals with occasional indigestion*
Bio-Gest assists digestion by supplementing important digestive enzymes and bile, depleted in many cases due to age or lifestyle choices. This can help reduce the symptoms of poor food breakdown caused by these imbalances.
Poor digestion can often be attributed to a variety of causes, from long-term illness and gall bladder removal to the natural aging process. Inadequate production of stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, or bile leads not only to gastrointestinal discomfort but also malabsorption issues that can lead to vitamin deficiencies in vitamins A, D E & K as well as food allergies. Thorne's Bio-Gest provides broad spectrum digestive support with hydrochloric acid (HCl), pepsin; an enzyme crucial for protein breakdown; Pancreatin which is important for carbohydrate digestion and ox bile required during fat emulsification and absorption.* Bio-Gest stands out in the realm of digestive aid supplements, boasting pure and lactose-free pepsin and pancreatin. Its formulation is designed to maximize efficacy for unparalleled digestion regulation.
Hydrochloric acid plays a critical role in digestion and ensuring that our bodies get the nutrients they need to thrive. Not only does it activate protein-digesting pepsinogen, but it also helps maintain an antiseptic environment in the stomach, preventing infection from ingested pathogens. Additionally, HCl is necessary for absorption of key vitamins & minerals such as folate, vitamin B12 Ascorbic Acid - plus important trace elements calcium iron zinc magnesium beta carotene – which are essential components fueling a healthy body! As we age, our bodies produce less and less hydrochloric acid. Additionally, if antacids are overused this can lead to an even further decrease in stomach acids which may reduce the digestion of proteins. Fortunately Thorne have developed a porcine-sourced supplement for gastric maintenance – combining both hydrochloric acid and pepsin into one capsule!
The pancreas is an essential organ for digestion, creating pancreatin - a special blend of digestive enzymes. These include amylase which breaks down carbohydrates and lipase to digest fats as well as proteases that break proteins into their building blocks for absorption by the body. Without proper production and secretion of these critical components, nutrition would not be possible!
