Bioclinic Naturals BioDigest
- Broad-spectrum digestive formula designed to enhance carbohydrate, protein, and lipid absorption
- Provides a clinical dose of HCl and a complex of betaine and L-glutamic acid to restore optimal gastric pH in less than 10 minutes
- Provides pancreatic enzymes containing protease, amylase, and lipase for broad-spectrum macronutrient digestion
- Contains pepsin A that acts as a principal protease and key signal for optimal digestion
- Ox bile promotes effective lipid and protein digestion and targets metabolic function and intestinal flora composition
BioDigest provides a comprehensive formula designed to enhance the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and micronutrients. A decline in acid production is associated with several conditions as well as the normal aging process. This decline may impair the absorption of several micronutrients (including zinc, iron, and vitamin B12) and contribute to bacterial overgrowth in the intestinal tract. The use of hydrochloric acid complexed with betaine and glutamic acid has been shown to normalize gastric pH among participants with impaired acid production, achieving a pH of less than 3 in under 10 minutes and lasting over 70 minutes. This pH normalization effectively improves the absorption of substances dependent upon low gastric pH.
BioDigest also provides pancreatic enzymes designed to restore normal digestion to patients with impaired exocrine pancreatic function, with protease, amylase, and lipase activity for digestion of all macronutrients. The inclusion of ox bile promotes efficient lipid absorption as well as enhanced proteolysis of dietary protein. Additionally, bile acids upregulate brown adipose tissue activity, have antimicrobial activity in the small intestine, and have systemic metabolic and endocrine effects previously unrecognized, influencing thyroid function, metabolism, and glucose and lipid homeostasis. Finally, pepsin A is the principal gastric proteolytic enzyme, and its actions indirectly stimulate pro-digestive functions by triggering gastrin and CCK release.
