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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBioCore Optimum™ 200 mg — clinically tested, non-GMO fungal-derived enzyme blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProven effective across the entire pH range of the digestive system — not degraded by stomach acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmylase 7,000 DU — digests carbohydrates and starches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtease 42,000 HUT + 6,000 PC + 4 AP — multiple protease enzymes for comprehensive protein digestion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtease 100 SAPU — acid-stable protease for stomach-phase protein digestion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlucoamylase 10 AGU — breaks down complex carbohydrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvertase 800 SU — digests sucrose and sugars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalt Diastase 3,000 DP — digests maltose from grains and starches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLipase 1,000 FIP — digests dietary fats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha-Galactosidase 300 GalU — specifically helps digest beans and cruciferous vegetables, reducing gas and bloating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports complete digestion of all macronutrients for maximum food utilisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort after meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarian and vegan — all enzymes are fungal-derived\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMP quality assured — family owned by Now Foods since 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree from yeast, wheat, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Contains malt diastase from barley — may not be suitable for those with severe gluten sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90 veggie caps — 45-day supply at 2 capsules per meal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormula\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach serving (2 veggie caps) delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBioCore Optimum™\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmylase\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus oryzae\u003c\/em\u003e): 7,000 DU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtease\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus oryzae\u003c\/em\u003e): 42,000 HUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtease\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus oryzae\u003c\/em\u003e): 6,000 PC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtease\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus oryzae\u003c\/em\u003e): 4 AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtease\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus niger\u003c\/em\u003e): 100 SAPU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlucoamylase\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus niger\u003c\/em\u003e): 10 AGU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInvertase\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c\/em\u003e): 800 SU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalt Diastase\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eHordeum vulgare\u003c\/em\u003e): 3,000 DP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLipase\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eCandida rugosa, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus oryzae\u003c\/em\u003e): 1,000 FIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha-Galactosidase\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAspergillus niger\u003c\/em\u003e): 300 GalU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplement facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServing size: 2 veggie caps | 45 servings per container\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOther ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRice bran, cellulose (capsule), silica.
