Dygest Pro is a broad
spectrum digestive enzyme supplement. Its hydrochloric acid content improves
digestion in the stomach. Its bile content emulsifies fats so that lipase
enzymes can go to work on them (a must for those with no gallbladder).
Hydrochloric acid and bile also destroy gastrointestinal parasites. Pancreatin
provides protease, lipase and amylase enzymes in order to break down proteins,
fats and starches. Papain and Bromelain are vegetable enzymes (from raw papaya
and pineapple) that help break down proteins. Peppermint soothes the digestive
tract and reduces flatulence.
Dygest Pro's
hydrochloric acid (from betaine HC1) and pepsin go to work immediately on the
food in the stomach. Its bile and pancreatin work minimally in the stomach and
become fully active when they reach the small intestine.
The acidity of Dygest
Pro assures that the body makes the most productive use of its own enzymes. Low
stomach pH triggers the conversion of pepsinogen (in stomach cells) into
pepsin. Low stomach pH also triggers the pancreas to bicarbonate and
pancreatin. Thus the enzymes in Dygest Pro add to the body's own enzymes rather
than substitute for them. This product does not create dependence. It makes up
the difference between what the body is able to produce itself and what it
needs for optimal digestion.

DOSAGE
1 to 4 tablets per
meal, depending on its content of protein and/or fat, and how weak the person's
digestion is (usually a function of age). Take Dygest Pro immediately after a
meal. Experiment to find the least number of tablets necessary to eliminate all
digestive discomfort.
CAUTION
Self Test:
First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, take 1 Dygest Pro tablet. Next
morning take 2. On the 3rd morning take 3 - and so on. Keep increasing the
number of tablets until you feel a slight burning sensation in the stomach.
Then, back off by 1 tablet and that is your optimum daily intake (eg. If a burn
occurs on 5 tablets, then 4 is your daily amount). Apportion this amount
according to difficulty of digesting meals (eg. 1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch
and 2 with dinner).
