Gastri-Gest™ — Comprehensive Plant-Based Digestive Enzyme, Probiotic & Gut Mucosal Support in One Formula
Most digestive enzyme supplements address only part of the picture — covering a few macronutrient categories but leaving others unaddressed, and providing no support for the gut lining that absorbs the nutrients they help release. Gastri-Gest™ takes a more complete approach: a comprehensive 9-enzyme proprietary blend covering the full spectrum of macronutrient digestion, dual probiotics, gamma oryzanol for gut mucosal support, and two traditionally validated botanical demulcents — all in a single, 100% vegetarian formula.*
Serving size is 2 vegetarian capsules, 60 servings per container (120 capsules).
What's inside and why it matters
Proprietary Enzyme Blend (630mg per serving)
The enzyme blend is the foundation of this formula — nine distinct plant-derived and microbial-sourced enzymes, each with a specific substrate target and a standardised activity unit confirming potency. All are sourced from plant or fungal organisms, making this a fully vegetarian enzyme formula active across the full pH range of the digestive tract.
Papain (690,000 USP) — A highly potent proteolytic enzyme from papaya, active across a wide pH range (3–10) covering both stomach and intestinal environments. At 690,000 USP units, this is a high-activity dose providing broad-spectrum protein-digesting activity throughout the entire GI tract.*
Protease from Aspergillus oryzae (53,000 HUT) — A fungal-derived protease active at the slightly alkaline pH of the small intestine, complementing papain's broad-range activity with targeted intestinal-phase protein digestion. HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine basis) is the standardised measure of protease activity.*
Sucrase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1,000 Su) — Sucrase breaks down sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose. Many people have reduced sucrase activity, leading to digestive discomfort from sucrose malabsorption. Including sucrase directly targets this common digestive gap.*
Maltase from Aspergillus oryzae (700 DP) — Maltase breaks down maltose — a disaccharide produced during starch digestion — into two glucose molecules. Ensuring complete maltose breakdown supports normal carbohydrate absorption and reduces osmotic load in the intestine.*
Amylase from Aspergillus oryzae (1,000 SKB) — Amylase initiates carbohydrate digestion by breaking starch into maltose and dextrins. Including fungal-derived amylase provides supplemental starch-digesting support throughout digestion.*
Cellulase from Trichoderma longibrachiatum (720 CU) — Cellulase breaks down cellulose — the indigestible plant fibre found in cell walls. Humans do not produce cellulase endogenously; supplemental cellulase supports the breakdown of plant cell walls, improving the bioavailability of nutrients enclosed within plant cells and supporting normal digestive comfort from fibre-rich foods.*
Lipase from Aspergillus niger, Candida rugosa & Rhizopus oryzae (2,240 LU) — A multi-source lipase blend from three complementary organisms, providing fat-digesting activity across a broad pH and temperature range. Adequate lipase is essential for normal fat digestion and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.*
Lactase from Aspergillus oryzae (1,600 ALU) — Lactase breaks down lactose — the sugar in dairy products — into glucose and galactose. Lactase deficiency affects an estimated 65% of adults globally. Including lactase directly addresses one of the most prevalent enzyme insufficiencies, supporting normal dairy digestion for those with lactase insufficiency.*
Bifidobacterium bifidum (260 million CFU at time of encapsulation) — A well-established probiotic strain colonising primarily the large intestine. B. bifidum supports healthy gut flora balance, normal immune function, and a healthy intestinal environment — complementing the enzyme activity that occurs upstream.*
Lactobacillus acidophilus (260 million CFU at time of encapsulation) — One of the most well-researched probiotic strains, colonising primarily the small intestine. L. acidophilus supports normal gut flora balance, lactose metabolism, and healthy intestinal barrier function. Together with B. bifidum, this dual-strain pair addresses both the small and large intestinal microbiome.*
Gamma Oryzanol (130mg per serving) — Gamma oryzanol is a mixture of ferulic acid esters derived from rice bran oil. It has a long history of use in integrative medicine for supporting normal gastric mucosal integrity and healthy digestive comfort. Gamma oryzanol supports the normal maintenance of the gastrointestinal mucosal lining — an important complement to the enzyme activity in this formula.*
Marshmallow Root Extract 4:1 (Althaea officinalis, 60mg per serving) — A 4:1 concentrated extract equivalent to 240mg of raw marshmallow root per serving. Marshmallow root contains mucilaginous polysaccharides that coat and soothe the gastrointestinal mucosal lining, supporting normal mucosal comfort and healthy gut barrier integrity throughout the digestive tract.*
Slippery Elm Bark Extract 4:1 (Ulmus rubra, 60mg per serving) — A 4:1 concentrated extract equivalent to 240mg of raw slippery elm bark per serving. Slippery elm has a long history of traditional use as a mucosal demulcent — its mucilaginous inner bark provides direct soothing support to the gastrointestinal lining. Together with marshmallow root, it forms a botanically comprehensive approach to gut mucosal comfort and normal barrier support.*
A three-layer approach to digestive wellness
Gastri-Gest™ works across three distinct but interdependent layers of digestive health: enzyme support for normal macronutrient breakdown and nutrient release; probiotic support for healthy gut flora balance and normal intestinal microbiome function; and mucosal support — through gamma oryzanol, marshmallow root, and slippery elm — for the integrity of the gut lining through which all absorbed nutrients must pass. This three-layer approach is what distinguishes Gastri-Gest™ from single-mechanism digestive enzyme products.*
At a glance — what this formula supports
- Complete macronutrient digestion via 9 standardised plant-derived enzymes*
- Lactose digestion and dairy comfort via lactase (1,600 ALU)*
- Normal plant food digestion via cellulase for plant cell wall breakdown*
- Healthy gut flora balance via dual Bifidobacterium bifidum & Lactobacillus acidophilus*
- Gut mucosal integrity and normal GI comfort via gamma oryzanol*
- GI mucosal soothing and demulcent support via marshmallow root & slippery elm*
