Gastro Support

Gastro Support, from Vitobest®, is a dietary supplement made from patented digestive enzymes, and anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal plant extracts, to help counter the most common gastric-digestive ailments: poor digestion, ulcers, gastritis, diarrhea, and stomach inflammation.

Gastro Support from Vitobest® contains among its ingredients:

• DigeZyme®: a patented plant-based multi-enzyme complex containing amylase (starch hydrolyzer), protease (protein hydrolyzer), cellulase (cellulose hydrolyzer), beta-D-galactosidase (lactose hydrolyzer), and lipase (fat hydrolyzer).
• OptiMSM® (methylsulfonylmethane): has anti-inflammatory properties¹.
• Pylopass™, by Lonza®: helps control Helicobacter pylori without altering the intestinal microbiota².
• Pepsin: enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins in the stomach.
• Dry ginger extract (5% essential oils): traditionally used in naturopathy to alleviate nausea and indigestion.
• Dry cat's claw extract: immunostimulant that helps cleanse the intestine.
• Apple pectin: carbohydrate that helps regulate diarrhea and slow down the absorption of simple sugars.
• Dry Aloe vera extract: helps regulate stomach inflammation, recover gastric mucosa, and prevent gastric acidity, gastritis, and gastric ulcers³.

Vitobest® uses for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free from titanium dioxide.
