PROBIO-75

The formula contains both probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are living organisms that help restore healthy bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics encourage healthy bacteria to grow. Together, these compounds improve gut health dramatically.

• SL14™ Probiotics Blend - 75 Billion CFU (187.5mg) - It's all about healthy bacteria in a probiotic formula. As well as supporting digestion, probiotics promote nutrient absorption and prevent gastrointestinal problems. Branded ingredient made up of the following strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Streptococcus thermophilus.† ^[1,2,3]

Prebiotic Blend

• Fructooligosaccharides (Nutraflora^® FB P-95) - 400 mg - There is at least 95% pure fructooligosaccharides in this ingredient, also known as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of carbohydrate called oligosaccharides. Prebiotic fibers are non-digestible fibers that pass through the small intestine and support the health of bacteria in the digestive tract. †^{[4, 5, 6]}
• Xylooligosaccharide (PreticX^®) – 400mg - XOS, or xylooligosaccharide, is a non-digestible oligosaccharide that helps regulate bowel motility and encourages bifidobacteria growth in the colon. †^[7]

Gut Health Blend 

• Ginger Root Extract – 50mg - This is a traditional medicine plant with a long history. Gingerol is the active ingredient. Gingerol eases occasional stomach upsets. †^[8]
• Licorice Root Extract 4:1 – 50mg - Among the oldest remedies on the planet is this ingredient. This plant has been commonly used to soothe upset stomachs.† ^[9]
• Peppermint Powder – 25mg - Peppermint has been used to treat digestive disorders for centuries. Combining these three natural ingredients has a powerful synergistic effect on your digestive system.† ^[10]

DIGES-TEN

Dynamic Digestion Blend

• Betaine Hydrochloride – 100mg - There are several names for Betaine. As a power and strength ingredient, betaine anhydrous is currently popular. It works similarly to creatine in that it attracts water to the muscles. Betaine hydrochloride is another option. This form of betaine promotes the digestion of proteins. As well as promoting normal gastric pH, it facilitates the absorption of several minerals, such as iron, calcium, and B12.† ^{[11, 12, 13]}
• Ox Bile – 100mg - Bile is produced by the liver to assist in the breakdown of fats. Additionally, it helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. †^[14]

Digestive Defender - Protein Breakdown Blend

However, Bodybuilders, powerlifters, and anyone who trains hard should take this powerful blend of four digestive enzymes to maximize protein digestion. These enzymes include:

• Protease (13,478 HUT) – 152mg - A group of enzymes that is responsible for breaking down proteins. †^[15]
• Bromelain (360 GDU) – 150mg - A group of enzymes that can be found in pineapple stems. Also known as pineapple enzyme, this ingredient helps the body digest protein. †^[16]
• Pancreatin (1,625 USP) – 65mg - This enzyme is primarily responsible for the breakdown of food. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all broken down by this enzyme. †^[17]
• Papain (3.25 TU) – 65mg - Another enzyme that breaks down protein into smaller parts for the body to use is papaya enzyme. †^[18]

Carbohydrate Breakdown

Hardcore diets aren't just about protein - we need healthy carbohydrates and fats too. You should consume slow-absorbing carbs first, but you also need simple carbs just before your workout. This means they need to be digested properly.

• Amylase (9,31 DU) – 108mg – Carbohydrates are broken down by this enzyme to make digestion and absorption more efficient. †^[19]

Fat Breakdown

The body uses healthy fats in a variety of ways. In addition to avoiding certain fats, you should consume healthy fats such as nuts, cheese, and fatty fish. In order to get the maximum benefit from it, make sure your digestion is as efficient as possible.

• Lipase (348 FIP) – 70mg - Lipase helps to digest fat. Lipase helps the body use fats more efficiently by breaking down fats into more water-soluble compounds. †^[20]

Digestive Defender - Fiber Breakdown

Fiber-rich foods are more filling, so they help keep you satisfied longer. The enzyme we've included helps digest fiber.

• Cellulase (130 CU) – 26mg - It is made of carbohydrates. Polysaccharides are formed when plant fiber is broken down. This compound is then absorbed or excreted by the body. †^[21]
• Milk Sugar (Lactose) Breakdown - Lactose, found in foods such as milk and yogurt, is not digestible by many people who love dairy products. For this reason, many people avoid dairy products altogether. †^[22]
• Lactase (174 ALU) – 43mg - Lactase is broken down by this enzyme into simpler compounds that can be digested by the body. †^[23]
• Digest Best Blend – 190mg - Compounds in this blend work together to improve digestion and treat digestive issues. Ginger Root, Turmeric Powder, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract, and Artichoke Leaf Powder are all included in this blend.†
