Description
Natural Factors Vegetarian MacroGest Intensive Strength is a plant enzyme formula with a 283 mg blend of 13 digestive enzymes in each vegetarian capsule. Digestive enzymes.
What is MacroGest? Digestive enzymes are proteins that break food into smaller pieces the body can absorb. MacroGest draws its enzymes from plant, fungal and bacterial sources. Proteases, bromelain and papain act on protein; alpha-amylase, diastase and glucoamylase act on starch; lipase acts on fat; lactase acts on milk sugar; and cellulase and hemicellulase act on plant fibre. Alpha-galactosidase is included as well.
