Overview

Beta Plus combines well-researched ingredients for digestive support, particularly for fat digestion. Ox Bile Extract and Pancrelipase are present at doses that are likely effective in aiding digestion, based on clinical research. However, the exact contribution of the beet concentrate and antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase) to the primary digestive function of the product, especially at the given dosages, is less clear and likely secondary.

The Good

Effective Doses of Primary Digestive Ingredients: Ox Bile Extract and Pancrelipase are included at doses capable of supporting fat and general macronutrient digestion.

Multi-faceted Digestive Support: Addresses both fat emulsification and enzymatic breakdown of macronutrients.

Includes Antioxidant Support: Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase provide protection against oxidative stress.

The Bad

Unspecified Enzyme Activity: The potency of Pancrelipase is not quantified by USP units for lipase, protease, and amylase, making its efficacy harder to assess.

Low Doses of Antioxidant Enzymes: The microgram amounts of Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase may have limited impact, especially considering their oral bioavailability challenges.

Potential for Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Ox bile can cause mild GI upset, particularly upon initial use or in sensitive individuals.
