🧠 Usefulness & Benefits
1. Better Digestive Efficiency
This enzyme blend helps break down fats, proteins, and carbs so that nutrients are more readily absorbed and waste is reduced. It’s especially helpful after heavy meals or for individuals with lower natural digestive enzyme production (e.g., due to age or digestive conditions).
2. Relief from Bloating & Discomfort
User reviews highlight noticeable reductions in post‑meal bloating, gas, and digestive heaviness—often within just a few days.
3. Support for Fat Digestion
Ox bile extract aids in lipid digestion—beneficial for individuals with gallbladder issues or impaired bile flow.
4. Inflammation & Tissue Recovery
Proteolytic enzymes like bromelain and papain may help reduce inflammation and support healing and tissue repair—especially after exercise, surgery, or injury.
