Digest

Digest contains freeze-dried beef pancreas from hormone and BSE-free New Zealand cattle for a pure and natural source of digestive enzymes including protease, amylase, lipase, and trypsin.

Broccoli sprouts are the young shoots of the broccoli plant, renowned for their high concentration of sulforaphane, a compound with potent antioxidant and immune-supporting properties. Sulforaphane has been linked to a balanced inflammatory response, heart health and enhanced detoxification of toxins and heavy metals. Additionally, the phytochemicals in broccoli sprouts support digestive health.

Alfalfa juice, derived from the young shoots of the alfalfa plant, is known for its detoxifying properties, aiding in liver health and supporting healthy digestion. Additionally, alfalfa juice has been associated with good metabolic health and a balanced immune response.

Ox bile, derived from the bile of oxen, is used to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in dogs with compromised bile production. It contains bile acids that are critical for the emulsification of dietary fats, making it easier for enzymes to break them down, which can help improve nutrient absorption and support overall digestive health.

Cellulase is an enzyme complex that breaks down cellulose, a plant fiber, into glucose, aiding in the digestion of fiber that's otherwise indigestible by dogs. This process can support overall digestive health, enhance nutrient absorption, and may help with issues such as bloating and gas associated with the consumption of high-fiber diets. Additionally, by breaking down cellulose, cellulase can contribute to a more balanced gut flora and support the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels.

Bromelain is an enzyme found in the pineapple plant, particularly found in the fruit, stem, and juice. Bromelain helps digest proteins and supports a normal inflammatory response.

Bacillus subtilis is a probiotic bacteria found in soil and the canine gut. B. subtilis is known for its ability to support a healthy gut microbiome, enhance digestive health and support immune function. It produces byproducts that can help suppress harmful bacteria, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and assist with nutrient absorption. Additionally, Bacillus subtilis has been associated with digestive enzyme production, aiding in the digestion of food and the supporting against gastrointestinal disorders.

Soil-based probiotics, like Bacillus subtilis, are often considered superior to other probiotics due to their exceptional resilience and ability to survive the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring they reach the intestines where they can be most beneficial. Their inherent stability means they don't require refrigeration and maintain potency over time and their robust nature allows for a potentially broader impact on the gut microbiome.

Bacillus coagulans is a soil-based probiotic that supports gut health by enhancing the balance of the intestinal microbiota, contributing to improved digestion and reducing symptoms of occasional bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It also supports the immune system by producing short-chain fatty acids, which are crucial for gut health and the natural resistance against chronic diseases.

Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) supports digestive health by enhancing the digestion and absorption of nutrients, especially proteins, by lowering the pH in the stomach. The acidity created by betaine HCl can also help balance bacterial and fungal populations in the gut by creating an unfavorable environment for pathogenic organisms.

Our beef liver is freeze-dried from hormone and BSE-free New Zealand beef. Liver supports healthy liver function and provides important phytochemicals.

Invertase is an enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates. It plays a crucial role in the digestive system by aiding in the breakdown of carbohydrate, facilitating easier absorption by the body.

Nettle (Urtica dioica), is a plant with a long history of health benefits. It supports a healthy inflammatory and histamine response and assists natural detoxification processes.

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the papaya fruit, known for its ability to break down proteins, which can aid in digestion and assist with symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating and gas.
