Design For Health Digestzymes™ 180Capsule

Digestzymes™

PANCREATIC ENZYMES + BETAINE HCl
180 CAPSULES

Digestzymes™ is a formula comprised of a proprietary
blend of digestive enzymes along with betaine
hydrochloride (HCl) to support the optimal digestion of
proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This product contains
the special protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV),
which aids in the breakdown of the peptides
gluteomorphin (from gluten), casomorphin (from casein),
and soymorphin (from soy). Digestzymes™ also includes
the enzyme lactase, which helps break down the dairy
sugar lactose. The use of Digestzymes™ with meals may
be helpful for patients who experience gas and bloating
after eating, occasional constipation, or a feeling of
fullness after eating only a small quantity of food.
If the digestive function is compromised, an individual
cannot fully benefit from the nutrients in the diet, no
matter the quality of the foods. Stress, aging, digestive
disorders, medications, and other conditions may impede
digestion by impacting the secretion of stomach acid,
pancreatic enzymes, or bile. These three components are
key elements in the breakdown of food into the smaller,
absorbable elements that the body requires to function.
Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) is an excellent source of
hydrochloric acid, also known as stomach acid. Betaine HCl helps to support proper stomach acidity, as
adequate HCl is necessary to begin the breakdown of
proteins and to trigger the secretion of enzymes that help
digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It is also
necessary for the absorption of iron, vitamins B6, B9, and
B12, calcium, and some medications. It also protects
against bacteria and other microorganisms by destroying
harmful pathogens to support a balanced microbiome.
Proprietary blend of digestive enzymes: The pancreas
produces enzymes that are required for digestion and
absorption of food. Enzymes secreted by the pancreas
include lipases, proteases, and amylases, which aid in the
breakdown of fats, proteins, and starches, respectively.
This blend includes pepsin and proteases to break down
protein and amylases, respectively, and glucoamylase to
break down carbohydrates, lactase to digest lactose, and
lipase to digest fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
Ox bile extract provides bile acids, which are key to the
digestion of fat and fat-soluble vitamins.
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is a special enzyme that
aids in the breakdown of hard-to-digest proteins in wheat,
soy, and milk.

Benefits
• Support for healthy digestion of protein, fats, and
carbohydrates

Recommended Dose
Adults: Take 1 capsule per day with or immediately
before a meal/food. Take a few hours before or after
taking other medications.

Highlights
• Digestive enzymes to support protein, fat, and
carbohydrate digestion
• Betaine HCl to support protein digestion and nutrient
absorption
• Ox bile to support fat emulsification
