What is DigestBasic®?
DigestBasic® is a digestive enzyme supplement formula from Enzymedica that breaks down your simplest meals, so you can enjoy the foods you love.* Each small capsule contains enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulase and protease to break down macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and protein, plus fiber) along with those hard-to-digest foods.* Formulated with essential, easy-on-you enzymes, DigestBasic® prevents indigestion and converts food into vital energy.
Plus, this formula includes Enzymedica's exclusive Thera-blend enzymes, which are proven effective all the way through your digestive tract.*
Why Do People Take Digestive Enzyme Supplements?
People take digestive enzyme supplements to fill in the gaps of their diet (since even healthy diets might not deliver sufficient amounts for various reasons) or to deal with a food intolerance.*
Think about all the different foods you eat in a single day. Now consider how each of those foods makes you feel. Whether you're eating a burger and fries or a protein smoothie with extra greens, each food provides nutrients that fuel your body. But to access the benefits of those nutrients, your body needs to be able to fully and efficiently break them down.
Enter digestive enzymes, which provide your body with the support it needs to unlock the potential of all the foods you eat. Feel the difference when you gently effectively break down carbs, fat, fiber and protein with DigestBasic®. Think of it as digestive help for sensitive stomachs!
What are Digestive Enzymes -- and What Do They Do?
The enzymes found in your digestive system that help your body break down food are called digestive enzymes, and each one has a specialized role to target a specific nutrient. It's not uncommon to fall short on one or more of these enzymes, but your digestion can pay the price. As a result, you might experience gas, bloating and occasional indigestion.* However, taking digestive supplements with enzymes (like DigestBasic®) can help speed up your digestion.*
While enzymes are found in the body naturally, they also come from the foods we eat -- but the processed foods we often consume don't deliver what we need. When we prioritize convenience above all, we might not get enough of what we need to properly digest every meal. Even healthy or clean foods can lose some of their enzyme activity during the cooking process. Age and lifestyle habits also impact our digestive enzyme production.
What's the answer? Reach for foods that are whole and unprocessed as much as possible. They don't need to be 100% raw (your body also needs digestive enzymes to break down foods that are uncooked -- especially high-fiber fruits, vegetables and other plants). But you should be eating processed foods sparingly.

What's Inside Each Capsule of DigestBasic®?
DigestBasic®supplements contain essential, easy-on-you enzymes. Those enzymes are proven effective all the way through your digestive tract.
Here's a quick look at some of the major enzymes, including those found inside DigestBasic®:
Amylases break down carbs
Amylases are enzymes that break down carbohydrates into sugar. Sugar (glucose) is used by the body for energy. When your body doesn’t produce enough of this type of enzymes, you could end up with undigested carbohydrates fermenting in your lower GI tract. That can lead to embarrassing and inconvenient gas and bloating.
Think about when you make homemade bread: Once you’ve made the dough and let it rest, it begins to rise. Ever wonder why? Fermentation causes it to rise by releasing air bubbles in the dough. That gas helps your dough and yields a tastier bread, but it isn't what you want to experience after a meal! Amylases give your body what’s needed to break down carbohydrates correctly.
Lipases break down dietary fat
Lipases help with dietary fat digestion. These enzymes also help your body access fat-soluble nutrients (like vitamins A, D, E and K as well as omega-3 and other fatty acids) so you can absorb them and unlock their benefits. Without sufficient amounts of lipases, your body isn’t able to fully access those nutrients, which are essential for immune, bone, brain and cardiovascular health.
Proteases break down proteins
Proteases help break down and separate proteins into amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). They also help your body’s natural cell turnover process, by helping to clean up and clear out dead and dying cells (a completely natural part of the cell life cycle), tissues and toxins that are protein-based. Protease enzymes help your body in making use of the amino acids necessary to construct and maintain healthy muscle tissue.
Cellulases break down fiber
Cellulase breaks down cellulose, or dietary fiber. While your body produces the other types of digestive enzymes, cellulase is a little different. It comes from the microflora (aka the good bacteria) found in your gut. Cellulase is not actually made by your body itself. Without adequate cellulase to break down the fiber you eat, your body isn’t able to make full use of that important nutrient found in plants. Your body also needs that enzyme to deal with the phytochemicals found in fruits, vegetables, herbs, grains and other plants.
How Thera-blend is Proven Effective
Like all Enzymedica digestive enzyme formulas, DigestBasic® includes Thera-blend™ enzymes that are proven effective all the way through your digestive tract.* Why does that matter? Because what good are digestive enzymes if they don't survive until they get to where they need to go in your GI tract?
When you choose a digestive enzyme supplement, make sure it can stand up to the diverse environments found in your entire digestive tract. Digestion happens in stages throughout the GI tract. Enzymedica products offer the most complete range of enzymes. Even in this formula that's gentle, we include some enzymes that are not found in lower-priced or lower-quality products.
How Do I Take DigestBasic®?
DigestBasic® is super easy to use. Take 1 capsule with each meal. More may be taken as needed. Consult with a physician prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications or have a medical condition.
Always read the label on any supplement and follow the suggested use instructions. And talk to your health-care provider before trying new things.
How to Pick a Quality Digestive Enzyme Supplement
Want to know the secret to choosing a quality digestive enzyme supplement? Look at the label! How are the enzymes measured? Enzymes are not weighed in metric units like milligrams or grams. They're also not measured like recipes, in dashes, pinches or cups. That is simply not the way that digestive enzymes function! Enzymes should always be measured according to their respective activity levels, using a specific set of purity, quality and identity of food ingredients standards established by the internationally accepted Food Chemical Codex. As the industry leader in digestive enzyme supplements for over 20 years, we know this -- and we always follow the Codex.
Regardless of which of our products you take for your digestive health, there will always be a rating of each enzyme's activity levels. Look at any of them, and you'll see the "Supplement Facts" label. We provide the various types and activity levels of each enzyme or combination, as well as the specific activities included with each one.
Whatever the formula that you choose, it will contain Enzymedica's proprietary Thera-blend™ technology. That means that the enzymes will be guaranteed to work throughout the entire pH spectrum found along your GI tract. When other enzyme formulas may fall short or simply not work, our enzymes will be effective in almost all acidic or alkaline environments.
Don't throw away your money on digestive enzyme supplements that don't bother to tell you the activity level of the ingredients! (That tells you all you need to know.)
