Optimal Digestive System, 90 Veggie Caps, Now Foods

Now Foods Optimal Digestive System — a comprehensive BioCore Optimum™ blend of 10 clinically tested, non-GMO fungal-derived digestive enzymes covering proteins, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, and hard-to-digest foods like beans and cruciferous vegetables. Vegetarian and vegan. 90 veggie caps.

Why you need it

Ever finish a healthy meal and still end up bloated, gassy, or uncomfortable? You're not alone — and the culprit is often a lack of digestive enzymes. Think of enzymes as the tiny helpers your body uses to break food down into nutrients it can actually use. Without enough of them, even the best food can sit heavily in your gut. Now Foods Optimal Digestive System gives your body a full team of these helpers — 10 different enzymes that between them can tackle proteins, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, and even the notoriously tricky foods like beans and broccoli that tend to cause the most trouble. What makes this formula special is that it's been clinically tested to stay active all the way through your digestive system — from your stomach to your intestines — so you get the full benefit with every meal. All enzymes are plant-derived (from fungi), making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
