Description
Broad Spectrum Pancreatic Enzymes with HCl & Ox Bile
Nutrigest is a potent combination of hydrochloric acid (HCl), digestive enzymes and ox bile to help support digestion in the stomach and small intestine. As we age and in acute or chronic illness, our bodies produce less HCl, necessary to denature proteins and begin the digestive process. HCl production also maintains a low pH in the stomach, thereby performing a vital role in supporting immune function.
Pancreatic enzymes are necessary for the complete breakdown of carbohydrate, fat and protein molecules.

Tableted with: Polyvinyl alcohol, Talc, Polyethelene glycol, Polysorbate.
Features:
• Hydrochloric acid (HCl) denatures dietary proteins and facilitates the
digestive action of enzymes. HCl also stimulates the pancreas to
secrete more digestive enzymes when released into the duodenum
from the stomach.
• Pancreatin is combined with pancrelipase providing a mixture of
pancreatic enzymes that help break down protein, fats and starches.
• Amylase digests fats and starches.
• Ox bile helps in the emulsification of dietary fats and subsequently
improves absorption.
Recommendation: 1 tablet at the onset of a meal, up to three times daily.
Caution: Not recommended for individuals with gastritis or ulcers. Do not chew or break the tablet. Tablet must be swallowed whole.
