More about this product
Terranova Digestive Enzyme Complex is a carefully crafted formulation designed to provide broad-spectrum support for healthy digestive function. It features BioCore® Optimum Complete – a trademarked blend of vegetarian- and vegan-friendly digestive enzymes known for their efficacy across a wide pH range and their resilience to varying temperatures and gastric conditions. This ensures the enzymes remain active throughout the digestive process, facilitating the breakdown of food and the absorption of essential nutrients.
The unique Magnifood Complex in this product combines a selection of synergistic botanicals, many of which are freshly freeze-dried to preserve their full spectrum of active compounds. Ingredients such as ginger, gentian, and cardamom are traditionally known to stimulate the body’s natural secretion of digestive enzymes, including hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The inclusion of alpha-galactosidase specifically targets hard-to-digest carbohydrates found in foods like beans and pulses, helping to reduce associated discomfort.
This formula intentionally excludes betaine HCl and pepsin, making it a gentle option suitable for a wide range of individuals, particularly those following a plant-based or plant-rich diet.
