PRODUCT BREAKDOWN

This formula packs 7 blends, including:

Dynamic Digestion Blend

Betaine Hydrochloride  100mg - Betaine is known by many names. Betaine Anhydrous is currently popular as an effective power and strength ingredient. It’s similar to creatine and pulls water into the muscles like creatine does. Then there’s betaine hydrochloride. This form of betaine promotes normal protein digestion. That’s a huge benefit for any 5%er. But there’s more. This also promotes normal gastric pH. It improves the absorption of several important minerals that including iron and calcium. Finally, it improves B12 absorption. How’s that for a list of benefits?(1)

Ox Bile  100mg - The liver produces bile to assist in the breakdown of fats. It also supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Protein Breakdown Blend
This powerful blend of 4 digestive enzymes optimizes protein digestion, and we know protein is key for bodybuilders, powerlifters, and anyone who trains hard. Let’s look at what makes up this impressive blend:

Protease (13,478 HUT)  152mg - A group of enzymes whose sole function is to break down protein.(2)

Bromelain (360 GDU)  150mg - Another group of enzymes that comes from the stem of pineapple fruit. Sometimes called pineapple enzyme, this ingredient helps the body digest protein.(3)

Pancreatin (1,625 USP)  65mg - The primary function of this enzyme is to support the breakdown of food. This includes carbohydrates and fats, as well as protein.(4)

Papain (3.25 TU)  65mg - Also known as papaya enzymes, this is another enzyme that breaks down protein into smaller particles to be used by the body.(5)

Carbohydrate Breakdown
Of course, there’s more to a hardcore diet than protein—we need quality carbohydrates and healthy fats. Slower-absorbing carbs should be your primary intake but we also need simple carbs for just before your workout. That means you need optimal digestion of those carbs.

Amylase (9,31 DU)  108mg – A digestive enzyme that breaks down carbs for more efficient digestion and absorption.(6)

Fat Breakdown
Healthy fats have a variety of roles in the body. While avoiding some fats, you also want to consume healthy fats such as nuts, cheese, and fatty fish. You’ll want the most efficient digestion possible to get the maximum benefits from your intake of it.

Lipase (348 FIP)  70mg - This enzyme improves fat digestion. Lipase breaks fats into more water-soluble compounds to help the body use fats more efficiently.(3)

Fiber Breakdown
High-fiber foods are more filling to help keep you satiated longer. We’ve included an enzyme to help digest fiber.

Cellulase (130 CU) – 26mg - This enzyme is actually a complex carbohydrate. It helps break down the plant fiber we eat into polysaccharides. The body then uses this compound or expels it.(7)

Milk Sugar (Lactose) Breakdown
Many people love dairy products yet can’t digest lactose, the sugar commonly found in such foods as milk or yogurt. This causes many people to avoid dairy products altogether.

Lactase (174 ALU)  43mg - This enzyme breaks down lactose into simpler compounds the body can digest.(8)

Digest Best Blend – 190mg - This blend of compounds works together to enhance digestion and relieve digestive issues. This blend includes Ginger Root, Turmeric Powder, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract, and Artichoke Leaf Powder.

Good digestion is essential to getting the most out of your dietary plan and supplementation. Be sure to take Digestive Defender and maximize your hard work today!
