Potent combination of hydrochloric acid (HCl), broad-spectrum digestive enzymes and key amino acids to support digestion

As we age our bodies may produce less HCl. This can also occur in either acute or chronic illness. MetaDigest® HCI Complex (formerly Nutrigest) is suitable for those who may have compromised digestive function, who may benefit from a broad-spectrum digestive support supplement to facilitate more optimum digestion and assimilation.

What does HCl do?
HCl aims to support healthy stomach acid levels. An acidic environment in the stomach is crucial for the breakdown (denaturing) of proteins and adequate levels of HCl are also needed to stimulate the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes. This occurs once the partially digested food mixture is released from the stomach into the small intestine.

Key Features
Provides a mixture of enzymes including amylase, protease and lipase that help further break down food in the small intestine.
Papain and bromelain are plant enzymes that both contain protease, which supports the breakdown of protein.
Amylase supports the breakdown of carbohydrates.
Lipase supports the breakdown of fats.
Contains the amino acids glycine and taurine which are biologically conjugated (joined) to bile acids in the liver, aiding lipid metabolism and absorption.
