Digest

Digestive Enzymes Built for the Way Workers Actually Eat

Most days, the food you eat isn't the food you'd choose. Gas station breakfast. Drive-thru lunch. Whatever's left in the truck. Heavy meals at the end of long shifts. Protein shakes between jobs. The reality of physical work doesn't leave much room for the kind of meal planning supplement marketing usually assumes.

Digest is built for that reality. Six digestive enzymes plus Alpha Galactosidase in a single veggie capsule, designed to help your body break down convenience food, fast food, dairy, and high-fiber meals — without the bloating, gas, and weighed-down feeling that usually follows.

No stimulants. No hormones. No laxative effect. Just real digestive support for real schedules.

What Digest Is Designed to Support

• Bloating and gas relief. Alpha Galactosidase targets the complex carbohydrates in beans, broccoli, onions, and high-fiber foods that most commonly cause gas. Bromelain and Papain support overall digestive comfort after heavy meals.
• Protein digestion. Fungal Protease, Bromelain, and Papain combine to support protein breakdown — including the protein in your shakes, fast food, and dinner.
• Fat digestion. Fungal Lipase supports fat breakdown, easing the heavy, weighed-down feeling after rich or fried meals.
• Dairy and lactose support. Fungal Lactase helps break down lactose for anyone who deals with discomfort after dairy or whey protein shakes.
• Nutrient absorption. When food breaks down properly, your body absorbs the nutrients you're paying for instead of passing them through. This matters whether you're eating clean or eating whatever's fast.

What's Actually in Digest

A digestive enzyme supplement is only as good as the enzymes in it. Here's the full breakdown, with named activity units — not vague milligram weights.

Makzyme-Pro™ Enzyme Blend — 2,500 HUT / 400 mg

A branded enzyme stack used in professional-grade digestive supplements. Contains:

• Fungal Protease (from Aspergillus oryzae) — supports protein digestion across a wider pH range than most animal-source proteases. Effective from the stomach into the small intestine.
• Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum — three probiotic strains included as part of the Makzyme-Pro blend.

Individual Enzyme Stack

• Bromelain — 90 GDU. A protease extracted from pineapple. Supports protein digestion and post-meal comfort.
• Papain — 2,670 TU. A protease extracted from papaya. Pairs with Bromelain to support protein breakdown through complementary mechanisms.
• Fungal Lipase — 1,500 FIP. Supports fat digestion. Particularly useful for high-fat or fried meals.
• Fungal Lactase — 600 LACU. Supports lactose digestion for dairy and protein-shake tolerance.
• Alpha Galactosidase — 300 GALU. The gas-and-bloat fighter. Targets the complex carbohydrates — raffinose, stachyose, verbascose — found in beans, broccoli, cabbage, onions, and other high-fiber foods that most commonly cause gas. Same enzyme found in over-the-counter products designed specifically for bean-related discomfort.

Serving size: 1 veggie capsule. Servings per bottle: 60 (30-day supply at the full daily dose of 2 capsules). Other ingredients: Cellulose (vegetable capsule), Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide. Allergens: contains pineapple-derived (Bromelain) and papaya-derived (Papain) ingredients. Avoid if you have allergies to either.

That's 6 digestive enzymes plus Alpha Galactosidase in a single veggie capsule, with named ingredients at meaningful potencies — not the proprietary-blend marketing you see on most drugstore shelves.

Built to Handle Any Meal

Most digestive enzyme products are designed for someone eating a balanced, slow, sit-down meal. Digest is designed for the worker eating a gas-station breakfast burrito at 6 AM in their truck, hitting a drive-thru at noon between jobs, and finishing the day with whatever's fast at 8 PM.

The formula is built around the foods you actually eat — not the foods you should be eating. Fast food, gas station meals, protein shakes, dairy, heavy dinners, the works. Real life happens. Digestion still has to work.

Who Digest Is For

• Anyone dealing with bloating, gas, or heaviness after meals — especially fast food, drive-thru, or convenience eating
• Workers eating on irregular schedules, long shifts, or high-protein/dairy-heavy diets
• Anyone who experiences gas from beans, broccoli, onions, or high-fiber foods
• Anyone with lactose intolerance or discomfort after whey protein shakes
• Anyone stacking with Biotics for full-day gut coverage

Who Should Not Take Digest

• Anyone under 18
• Pregnant or nursing women without consulting their doctor
• Anyone with a known allergy to pineapple (Bromelain) or papaya (Papain)
• Anyone taking blood-thinning medications — Bromelain has mild blood-thinning effects and can interact with anticoagulants like warfarin and aspirin
• Anyone with a severe immunocompromised condition (probiotic-containing supplements aren't recommended without medical supervision)
• Anyone with an active gastrointestinal condition under treatment

If you have any medical condition or take any prescription medication, talk to your doctor before starting.

How to Take Digest

Take 1 capsule twice a day, with meals. For best results, take it 20 to 30 minutes before a meal — the enzymes get a head start and are ready when food arrives. If your schedule doesn't allow that, taking it with the first bite still works.

Take it consistently with your two heaviest or most-likely-to-cause-discomfort meals — the gas station breakfast, the drive-thru lunch, the late dinner. Each bottle is a 30-day supply at the full daily dose.

Quality You Can Verify

• Manufactured in an FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facility
• Third-party tested for potency, purity, and contaminants
• Hormone-free, stimulant-free, drug-test safe — contains no banned substances, no caffeine, no amphetamines
• Vegetarian / vegan-friendly — cellulose veggie capsule, plant- and fungal-sourced enzymes
• Not a laxative — supports complete digestion rather than forcing transit

Works Best as Part of a System

Digest handles the meal-time moment — breaking down protein, fat, dairy, and the high-fiber stuff that causes acute post-meal bloating. But day to day, your gut microbiome — the bacterial population that handles the long-term work of digestion — is a different system with different needs.

Biotics is the daily companion. 60 billion CFU multi-strain probiotic with MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology, taken once daily with food, to build and maintain a healthy gut microbiome over time. Digest handles the moment. Biotics builds the foundation.

Running both is the play. We bundle them as the Gut Pack, which saves you $13 over buying them separately and gives you full-day gut coverage — with-meal Digest, daily Biotics.

For workers stacking digestive support into a broader fat-loss routine, Digest is also part of the Dad Bod Pack — a 24-hour system with daytime and nighttime support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are digestive enzymes and how do they work?

Digestive enzymes are proteins that break down food into smaller molecules your body can absorb. Different enzymes target different food types: protease breaks down protein, lipase breaks down fat, lactase breaks down lactose (the sugar in dairy), and Alpha Galactosidase breaks down the complex carbohydrates in beans and high-fiber vegetables that most commonly cause gas. Your body produces these enzymes naturally, but heavy or convenience meals often outpace what your body produces on its own. A digestive enzyme supplement adds backup support so food breaks down more completely.

Do digestive enzymes really work for bloating and gas?

Yes, when matched to the food causing the problem. Bloating and gas after meals typically come from one of three sources: complex carbohydrates in beans and high-fiber vegetables (Alpha Galactosidase targets these), lactose from dairy and protein shakes (Fungal Lactase targets this), or undigested fats and proteins from heavy meals (Fungal Lipase, Bromelain, and Papain support these). Digest covers all three categories with named enzymes at functional potencies. Most people who experience post-meal bloating notice relief within a few days of consistent use.

When should I take Digest?

Take 1 capsule twice a day with meals. For best results, take it 20 to 30 minutes before a meal so the enzymes are ready when food arrives. If you can't plan ahead, taking it with the first bite of your meal still works — the enzymes start working as soon as they hit your stomach. Most people take Digest with their two heaviest or most-likely-to-cause-discomfort meals.

How long does it take for digestive enzymes to work?

Digestive enzymes start working within minutes of taking them. The bloating and gas reduction is typically noticeable within the first few meals of consistent use. Unlike probiotics, which build up over weeks, enzymes have an immediate effect on the meal you take them with — you'll often notice the difference on day one.

Should I take digestive enzymes before or after a meal?

Before is optimal — 20 to 30 minutes ahead lets the enzymes reach your stomach and small intestine ready to start breaking down food as it arrives. With the first bite of the meal is the next-best option and still works well. After the meal is less effective but better than nothing if you forgot. Take Digest consistently at roughly the same point relative to your meals for the best results.

Will Digest help with fast food and convenience meals?

Yes. Fast food typically combines high fat, processed protein, and refined carbohydrates — exactly the food types Digest is built to handle. Bromelain, Papain, and Fungal Protease support the protein. Fungal Lipase supports the fats. Alpha Galactosidase handles any beans, onions, or fiber-heavy ingredients. The formula is specifically built around the foods physical workers actually eat.

Will Digest help with protein shakes and dairy?

Yes. Fungal Lactase in Digest targets lactose, the sugar in dairy that causes the most common form of dairy intolerance. For anyone who deals with bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort after whey protein shakes or dairy-heavy meals, Digest can significantly reduce those symptoms. The Bromelain and Papain in the formula also support protein breakdown, so whey is digested more completely.

Will Digest help with gas from beans, broccoli, and high-fiber foods?

Yes — this is one of Digest's strongest use cases. Alpha Galactosidase is the enzyme that breaks down raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose, the complex carbohydrates in beans, broccoli, cabbage, onions, and other fiber-heavy foods that the human digestive system can't break down on its own. It's the same enzyme found in over-the-counter products designed specifically for bean-related gas, and it's the most under-included enzyme in mainstream digestive supplements.

Can I take Digest every day?

Yes. Digestive enzymes are safe for daily, long-term use at the recommended dose. They don't build tolerance the way stimulant supplements do, and your body doesn't reduce its own enzyme production in response to supplementation. Most people take Digest twice daily with their two largest meals indefinitely.

What's the difference between Digest and Biotics?

Digest is a digestive enzyme supplement — it works on the food in front of you, breaking it down so you don't get the bloating and heaviness that come from incomplete digestion. Take it twice a day with meals. Biotics is a daily probiotic — 60 billion CFU multi-strain probiotic that supports the long-term balance of your gut microbiome. Take it once a day with food. They do different jobs. Most people benefit from running both, which is why we bundle them as the Gut Pack.

Can I take Digest and Biotics together?

Yes — they're designed to work together. Take Biotics once daily with food. Take Digest twice a day with your two heaviest meals. The two products do different jobs and don't interfere with each other. The Gut Pack bundles both and saves $13 versus buying them separately.

Does Digest contain any stimulants or hormones?

No. Digest contains no caffeine, no other stimulants, no hormones, and no banned substances. It's a digestive support supplement — the active ingredients are enzymes (proteins that break down food) and probiotic bacteria. Nothing in the formula raises heart rate, energy, or affects sleep.

Will Digest cause a failed drug test?

No. Digest contains no anabolic compounds, no amphetamines, no banned hormones, no stimulants, and nothing that triggers positives on standard workplace, military, or athletic drug screens. The active ingredients are digestive enzymes and live probiotic bacteria — neither of which appear on any drug-testing panel.

Is Digest a laxative?

No. Digest is not a laxative and doesn't have a laxative effect. It supports digestion by helping your body break down food more completely, which reduces gas and bloating, but it doesn't force bowel movements or accelerate transit time.

Is Digest vegetarian or vegan?

Yes. The capsules are cellulose-based veggie capsules (no gelatin). The enzymes are derived from fungal sources (Aspergillus oryzae) and plant sources (pineapple-derived Bromelain, papaya-derived Papain). The probiotic strains are bacterial cultures. No animal-derived ingredients.

What's the recommended daily dose?

1 capsule twice a day, taken with meals — 2 capsules total per day. Don't exceed the label dose. More enzymes don't produce dramatically better results, and at very high doses some people experience digestive upset.

Who should not take Digest?

Anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing women (without consulting a doctor), anyone with allergies to pineapple or papaya, anyone on blood-thinning medications (Bromelain interaction), severely immunocompromised individuals, and anyone with an active GI condition under treatment. If you have any medical condition or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor before starting.

How long does one bottle last?

60 veggie capsules per bottle. At the standard daily dose of 2 capsules per day, that's a 30-day supply.
