How It Works
How It Works
This comprehensive enzyme blend works by breaking down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that your body struggles to process on its own. Alpha-galactosidase specifically targets the oligosaccharides in beans and cruciferous vegetables, while cellulase and hemicellulase break down plant fiber that commonly ferments in the gut. The result is more complete digestion and significantly less gas production.
Who It's For
Vegetarians, vegans, and anyone following plant-heavy diets who experience gas and bloating after eating beans, whole grains, or cruciferous vegetables. Also helpful for people with lactose intolerance, FODMAP sensitivities, or those transitioning to higher-fiber diets.
Who It's Not For
If you rarely eat plant foods or don't experience digestive discomfort, a basic digestive enzyme may be more appropriate.
About This Product
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.
