Description

In Depth

Since 1988, D – Digest has been a trusted, all-purpose formula designed to enhance the body’s ability to digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. This formula features lab-grown, non-animal enzymes, along with botanical ingredients that support and strengthen the digestive system rather than replacing its natural function. It also provides targeted support for the pancreas to aid its role in digestion. Importantly, D – Digest is designed to be self-regulating and non-habit-forming, ensuring it works in harmony with your body without causing dependency.

Key Features

  • Pancrelipase is a fat-digesting enzyme that breaks triglycerides into 2-monoglycerides and two free fatty acids for proper absorption in the intestines. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with pancreatic insufficiency caused by genetic conditions, damage from long-term use of proton pump inhibitors, or habits like frequent snacking that can deplete pancreatic function.
  • Betaine HCl is more than a source of hydrochloric acid for digestion—it strengthens the stomach’s ability to produce acid, supporting effective digestion. Low stomach acid levels, common in people with acid reflux, can allow Helicobacter pylori overgrowth and prevent the lower esophageal sphincter from closing properly, leading to heartburn. Additionally, betaine plays a role in converting homocysteine to methionine, supporting cardiovascular and overall health.
  • Pepsin is the primary enzyme responsible for breaking down proteins into peptides, essential for cellular processes throughout the body. Insufficient pepsin production can contribute to acid reflux by failing to trigger the closure of the lower esophageal sphincter. Pepsin also signals the pancreas to release additional protease enzymes, ensuring thorough protein digestion.
  • Goldenseal root (Hydrastis canadensis) is a well-known digestive-support herb. As one of the “bitter herbs,” it stimulates bile production and enhances stomach enzyme activity. Its active compound, berberine, works with Oregon Grape root to support digestive and pancreatic health. Research has shown that goldenseal can inhibit H. pylori, a bacterium linked to stomach ulcers.
  • L-Glutamic acid, an amino acid vital for protein synthesis, supports digestion by breaking down proteins and aiding in the absorption of amino acids. It also acts as a neurotransmitter, promoting healthy peristalsis and the smooth movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Oregon Grape root (Berberis aquifolium) is rich in berberine, a compound that supports digestion by modulating enzymes and providing antimicrobial and antifungal benefits to the gastrointestinal tract. Berberine’s anti-inflammatory properties stem from its ability to activate AMPK, a cellular energy regulator that reduces inflammatory cytokines. This action helps protect the gut lining, which is often damaged by chronic inflammation. Studies have shown that berberine effectively treats bacterial diarrhea without the risks associated with antibiotics.
  • To enhance the body’s natural ability to digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, D – Digest includes RNA/DNA tissue factors to support foundational digestive tissues. These nucleic acids specifically target the liver for bile production, the pancreas for enzyme secretion, and the stomach for connective tissue health, strengthening the organs essential to effective digestion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is D - Digest designed to do?

D – Digest is formulated to enhance the body’s natural digestive powers for proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It supports the digestive system without causing dependency and strengthens the stomach, pancreas, and liver to optimize digestion.

Can D - Digest help with acid reflux?

Yes, D – Digest contains Betaine HCl and pepsin, which help improve stomach acid levels. Proper stomach acid levels can reduce acid reflux by preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and helping the lower esophageal sphincter close properly.

Who can benefit from D - Digest?

Anyone looking to improve digestion, address issues like acid reflux or occasional indigestion, or support their body’s ability to process proteins, fats, and carbohydrates can benefit. It’s particularly useful for individuals with digestive enzyme insufficiency or those with pancreatic or bile production challenges.

How does D - Digest differ from other digestive formulas?

Unlike some formulas that only supplement enzymes, D – Digest includes ingredients that strengthen the body’s own digestive capabilities, supporting the pancreas, stomach, and liver. It also features botanical and enzymatic elements tailored for holistic digestive health.

What makes the enzymes in D - Digest unique?

The enzymes in D – Digest are lab-grown (non-animal sourced), ensuring high quality and suitability for a broad range of dietary needs, including vegetarians.

Can D - Digest be taken alongside other supplements?

While D – Digest is generally safe to combine with other supplements, it’s recommended to consult your healthcare provider if you’re taking medications, especially proton pump inhibitors, to ensure compatibility.

How should D - Digest be taken?

D – Digest is typically taken with meals to assist digestion. Follow the recommended dosage on the label or as directed by your healthcare provider.
