"Every formula in this store was developed for our clients — not for a shelf. These are the same protocols we use every day in the clinic and on ourselves"
Plant-Based Enzymes ✦ Third-Party Tested ✦ Gluten-Free ✦ Yeast-Free ✦ No Artificial Colors ✦ No Artificial Flavors

These enzymes start working as soon as food reaches your stomach.

ACID RESISTANT
Stomach acid stops animal enzymes from working. These stay active and start breaking down your food immediately.
WHOLE MEAL COVERAGE
Protein, carbs, fats, and fiber each get their own enzymes, so your whole meal gets broken down.
BEANS AND GREENS
Alpha-galactosidase breaks down the sugars in beans, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables that your body cannot.

Why a healthy meal can still sit badly

Digestion falls behind for ordinary reasons. Meals get rushed, and your own enzyme output drops with age. What follows is occasional bloating and gas, and a heaviness that lasts for hours.

What the pH range means for you

Your stomach is acidic and animal-derived enzymes are not active in that range. They activate between 6.5 and 7.5, further down in your small intestine. These plant enzymes work from 2.5 to 8.5, so they start breaking your meal down in your stomach.

Built for a plant-rich diet

Plant cell walls lock nutrients away, and your body does not make the enzymes that open them. CereCalase, pectinase, and cellulase are all in here for that job. It matters if you eat a lot of vegetables.

Who it's for

This is for you if you:

— Eat plenty of beans, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables
— Feel heavy or overfull long after a meal
— Notice some foods sit worse than others
— Want more nutrition out of food you already eat

How to take it

Take one capsule about 15 minutes before a meal, or as recommended by your practitioner. One capsule covers one meal, so take one before each meal you want support with.

What to do before you start

This formula contains bromelain from pineapple. If you are pregnant, nursing, have any health condition, any allergies, or are taking any medication, consult your practitioner before taking this product.

The facts

SupplyAbout one month at three meals a day
Free fromGluten, yeast, artificial colors and flavors
TestingThird-party, for identity, purity, and potency
Take it about 15 minutes before you eat. Enzymes only work on food they are mixed in with, so they need to already be there when the meal arrives. One capsule covers one meal.
Protein, carbs, fats, and fiber. Amylase and glucoamylase break down starches, the proteases and peptidase break down proteins, lipase breaks down fats, and lactase breaks down the lactose in dairy. Cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, and CereCalase work on the fibers and cell walls in fruits and vegetables.
Alpha-galactosidase is the enzyme for that. It breaks down the sugars in beans, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables that your own body cannot. Those sugars are what ferment and cause gas.
The enzymes are plant-based rather than animal-derived, which is why they stay active across a wider range of stomach conditions. Bromelain comes from pineapple. Artichoke and gentian replace the ox bile used in many digestive formulas.
Many people take both. Ask your practitioner how to sequence them, since it depends on what else you are taking. There is no need to stop one to start the other.
