Advanced Digestive Enzymes - 180 capsules (formerly Bio-Gest) | Thorne
A digestive enzyme blend that supports individuals who have indigestion, bloating, or had gallbladder removal.
Thorne’s Bio-Gest is a comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes that support good digestion. A digestive enzyme supplement can be beneficial in circumstances when less than optimal amounts of digestive enzymes are being produced in the body – like during the natural aging process or after gallbladder removal.
The proteolytic enzymes hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin are secreted in the stomach, while pancreatin, composed of amylase, lipase, and protease, is secreted from the pancreas, and bile is secreted from the liver and through the gallbladder. These enzymes are all essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. By providing all of them, Bio-Gest offers a complete solution for digestive support.
