What It Does
MacroGest eliminates the gas and bloating that comes from eating healthy plant foods. This intensive-strength formula specifically targets the compounds in beans, whole grains, and vegetables that commonly cause digestive discomfort, letting you enjoy plant-based nutrition without the uncomfortable aftermath.
Why It Works
- FODMAP BREAKDOWN: Alpha-galactosidase specifically breaks down oligosaccharides in beans and cruciferous vegetables before they can ferment in your gut.
- COMPLETE DIGESTION: 14 different enzymes including bacterial and fungal proteases ensure proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are fully broken down for better nutrient absorption.
- FIBER PROCESSING: Cellulase and hemicellulase target plant fiber that typically causes fermentation, while bromelain and papain provide additional protein-digesting power.
What's Inside
Non-GMO vegetarian capsules with 14 plant-derived enzymes measured in standardized FCC units for consistent potency. Contains natural enzymes bromelain from pineapple and papain from papaya.
Why we carry it: The most comprehensive plant-focused enzyme formula we've found, specifically engineered for the unique digestive challenges of vegetarian and high-fiber diets.
