What is MacroGest?
MacroGest brings together enzymes from three kinds of source. Porcine pancreatic enzymes at 8X concentration supply amylase, protease and lipase. Fungal protease and serratiopeptidase come from fermentation. Bromelain and papain are plant enzymes, taken from pineapple and papaya. Rutin and amla are part of the blend as well.
Key features
110 mg pancreatic enzymes 8X plus 63 mg high-activity enzyme blend per capsule
60 delayed release capsules
Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and non-GMO
Why delayed release?
Enzymes are proteins, and stomach acid can break them down. A delayed release capsule is designed to hold together through the stomach and open further along, in the small intestine. That makes it a practical format for keto digestive enzymes.
