  • After consuming a meal heavy in fat or red meat

  • Optimizes the absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients*
  • HCl promotes the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc*
  • Pancreatic enzymes and ox bile promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids*

Key features of Thorne’s Advanced Digestive Enzymes:

  • Contains undiluted pepsin and pancreatin
  • Does not contain lactose, which is often used to dilute pepsin and pancreatin
  • Contains ox bile

The proteolytic enzymes hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin are secreted in the stomach, while pancreatin, composed of amylase, lipase, and protease, is secreted from the pancreas, and bile is secreted from the liver and through the gallbladder. These enzymes are all essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. By providing all of them, Advanced Digestive Enzymes offers a complete solution for digestive support.
