Nutrigest is a potent combination of hydrochloric acid (HCl), broad spectrum digestive enzymes and key amino acids to help support digestion in the stomach and small intestine.
Nutrigest has been reformulated and is now suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is now in capsule form. We have swapped out the pancreatic enzymes for enzymes derived from aspergillus. Ox bile and pepsin have been removed, and glycine and taurine added, for supporting the conjugation of bile acids.
Key Features:
HCl aims to support healthy stomach acid levels
An acidic environment in the stomach is crucial for the breakdown (denaturing) of proteins
Adequate levels of HCl are also needed to stimulate the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes
This occurs once the partially digested food mixture is released from the stomach into the small intestine
A low pH (acidic) is also vital for supporting immune function, as potentially harmful microbes cannot live in an acidic environment
Provides a mixture of enzymes including amylase, protease and lipase that help further break down food in the small intestine
Papain and bromelain are plant enzymes that both contain protease, which supports the breakdown of protein
Amylase supports the breakdown of carbohydrates
Lipase supports the breakdown of fats
Contains the amino acids glycine and taurine which are biologically conjugated (joined) to bile acids in the liver, aiding lipid metabolism and absorption.
