Unlock Your Digestive Potential with THORNE

Are you struggling with occasional bloating, gas, or a feeling of uncomfortable fullness after meals? It might be a sign that your digestive system needs a little extra support. THORNE Advanced Digestive Enzymes, formerly known as Bio-Gest, provides a robust, two-in-one solution designed to optimize the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, ensuring you get the most out of every meal.

A Nutritionist's Perspective on Digestive Wellness

As a certified nutritionist with over 8 years of experience in clinical practice, I frequently see clients who eat healthy diets but still struggle with digestive discomfort. The root cause is often inefficient digestion. Our body's natural enzyme production can decline with age or due to stress, leading to poor nutrient absorption and uncomfortable symptoms. This is where a high-quality supplement becomes invaluable. Unlike other options on the market that provide a minimal blend of enzymes, THORNE’s formula is comprehensive. It provides not just pancreatic enzymes but also the crucial components of Betaine HCl and pepsin to support digestion from the stomach downwards. It’s a clinically-backed approach that I trust for my clients and my own family.

The Science Behind Comprehensive Support

THORNE Advanced Digestive Enzymes stands out due to its scientifically formulated, multi-faceted approach. Digestion is a complex process that begins in the stomach, and this supplement is designed to support each key stage.

• Betaine Hydrochloride (HCl): This ingredient promotes optimal stomach acidity. A properly acidic environment is the first line of defense for breaking down proteins and is crucial for sterilizing the food you eat. Low stomach acid can be a primary cause of indigestion and bloating.
• Pepsin: A powerful protease enzyme that functions in the highly acidic environment of the stomach. It works synergistically with HCl to initiate protein digestion, breaking large protein molecules into smaller, more manageable pieces called peptides.
• Pancreatin: This is a comprehensive blend of enzymes normally secreted by the pancreas. It is undiluted and lactose-free, containing the three most essential enzymes:
  • Amylase: Breaks down complex carbohydrates and starches into simple sugars.
  • Protease: Continues protein digestion that began in the stomach.
  • Lipase: Essential for the effective breakdown of fats, which can often be the hardest macronutrient to digest.

By providing support at multiple levels of the digestive tract, this formula ensures that your food is broken down efficiently, leading to enhanced nutrient absorption, increased energy, and significantly reduced discomfort.
