Digest Basic

Enzymedica Digest Basic, previously known as Digest Complete, provides powerful digestive enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulase, and protease that support the natural reactions that break down food and have been demonstrated to optimise digestion and nutrient absorption.

Wind, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, and irregularity can affect all members of the family. A gentle enzyme product may be all that is required to ease these irritating digestive complaints.

Enzymes play an important role in digestion. They help to maximize nutrient extraction and turn consumed food into energy.  Enzyme deficiencies can lead to a variety of digestive discomforts, including occasional wind, bloating, indigestion and irregularity. These deficiencies may result from a combination of age, diet and lifestyle. For example, natural aging depletes the amount of enzymes available for use in the body. And when foods are cooked or processed, the enzymes contained within the food are destroyed, requiring the body to use its own enzymes to break down foods.  Keeping up with the process of digestion can strain the body.  Supplementing with enzyme products like Digest Basic enzyme formula can aid in the digestive process.

Digest Basic digestive enzymes supplement is designed as an introductory digestive enzyme product for the family. Since it is a gentle formula, it may also be an excellent choice for individuals who have experienced sensitivities to high potency digestive enzyme blends. Digest Basic capsules are small, making them easy to swallow.

What are enzymes and how do they work?
Enzymes do digestion. They are naturally occurring proteins that speed up reactions. Enzymes act like tiny scissors, cutting up the food we’ve eaten into smaller components. This helps our body more easily and fully absorb nutrients.
Without enough enzymes, our body can struggle to break down troublesome foods, leading to occasional gas, bloating, indigestion and irregularity. With all-natural enzyme supplementation, your body gets an extra boost to the digestive process, helping maximize energy and contributing to whole-body health.*

If my body and food already produce enzymes, why do I need supplements?
Not only can an enzyme deficiency come from diet and lifestyle, but our bodies naturally produce fewer enzymes as we age. It can be hard to get what we need through diet alone because the process of cooking destroys the enzymes contained within food. Taking an enzyme supplement can help fill in the gap.

What is different about Digest Basic™ enzymes versus others?
Not all enzyme supplements are created equal, and Digest Basic, while gentle, is still one of the most potent formulas on the market. It contains powerful enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulase and protease. These enzymes break down complex foods like carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein.* At the same time, it is not so harsh as to be uncomfortable — making it ideal for those with sensitive stomachs.
Enzymedica's proprietary Thera-blend™ technology means that the enzymes found in Digest Basic will work throughout the entire pH spectrum found along your digestive tract. When other brands’ enzyme formulas may fall short, in almost all acidic or alkaline environments, Digest Basic will be effective.
