Explore the formula

Broad-spectrum 10 vegan enzymes

This formula delivers a broad-spectrum of vegan digestive enzymes including protease, lipase and lactase, and plant-based bromelain & papain. Together, these enzymes support the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, plant fibre and lactose in the diet.

Boosted with betaine HCl

Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) supports stomach acid levels which is important for the breakdown of protein from the diet. Low levels of stomach acid are associated with indigestion and reflux so by combining betaine HCl with digestive enzymes, this complex delivers comprehensive support for digestion.

Fast-dissolve & acid resistant

Digestive Enzymes & Betaine HCl is delivered in fast-dissolve capsules which break down quickly, allowing the enzymes to get to work fast. The vegan enzymes in this supplement have a broader pH range of activity than animal-based enzymes and can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach.

Is Digestive Enzymes & Betaine HCl right for you?

An honest guide to help you decide.

A great fit if you...

  • want comprehensive support for breaking down protein, fats and carbohydrates
  • experience occasional bloating or heaviness after meals
  • want digestive support for breaking down a wide variety of foods, including proteins, fats and carbohydrates
  • want digestive enzymes combined with stomach acid support

Seek advice or consider another option if...

  • you experience frequent acid reflux, gastritis or have a history of stomach ulcers
  • you take acid-suppressing medication or have a diagnosed digestive condition
  • you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • you experience persistent, unexplained digestive symptoms

What to expect

Magnesium and L-theanine build steadily — here's a realistic timeline of how your family may notice the difference.
1
What you may notice
Less digestive heaviness or bloating after meals, particularly following larger or more complex meals.
2
With consistent use
Broad-spectrum enzymes help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates, complementing your body's natural digestive processes and potentially improving nutrient absorption over time, particularly where digestion is less efficient.
3
Good to know
Digestive enzymes work with each meal rather than building up in the body. You may notice greater digestive comfort after eating, although the effects can be subtle and depend on your individual digestive needs.

Maximise nutrient availability

Breaking foods down optimally helps with the release of nutrients from the diet. By providing a broad-spectrum of digestive enzymes with betaine HCl to support stomach acidity levels, this complex supports the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as the breakdown of more difficult to digest foods, such as plant-fibres and lactose.

Break down plant foods

Many plant foods can be difficult to digest and often lead to unwelcome bloating, digestive discomfort, and gas. Our broad-spectrum digestive enzyme formula provides 10 digestive enzymes to support the digestion of a wide range of foods, including amylase and cellulase to aid the breakdown of fibre and plant cellulose.

Boost immune health

The function of the immune system is reliant on nutrients from the diet, and digestive enzymes may help to improve nutrient availability. Optimum digestion may also prevent undigested food particles from entering the bloodstream, which may otherwise cause an immune response. Finally, as a large percentage of immune cells reside in the gut, maintaining a healthy gut is ideal for health.

FAQs

What makes this different from standard digestive enzymes?

Our formula combines 10 complementary digestive enzymes with betaine HCl, supporting the breakdown of a wide variety of foods alongside stomach acidity.

What is betaine HCl and why is it included?

Betaine HCl provides hydrochloric acid, which helps maintain the acidic environment needed for normal protein digestion. It's particularly relevant when stomach acid levels are low, which is surprisingly common!

Can digestive enzymes help with bloating?

They may help when bloating is related to incomplete food digestion. However, bloating has many possible causes, so results vary depending on the underlying issue.

When should I take Digestive Enzymes & Betaine HCl?

Take one capsule at the start of a meal, as required. The recommended maximum is six capsules daily.

Can I take this product every day?

Yes, it can be taken with meals as needed, provided it is appropriate for you. If you regularly depend on digestive enzymes or experience ongoing symptoms, seek professional advice.
