Hypo-Gest
Priority One Nutritional Supplements
Overview
Hypo-Gest offers a blend of ingredients intended to support digestion. It combines enzymes like pepsin, papain, pancreatin, amylase, lipase, protease, and pancrelipase to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Betaine HCl and L-Glutamic Acid are included to support stomach acidity, while ox bile extract aids fat emulsification. Perilla leaf extract provides anti-inflammatory benefits. While many ingredients have evidence supporting their roles in digestion, the overall effectiveness of this specific combination depends on the individual's digestive deficiencies and the dosages provided.
