Digest Gold represents the most potent digestive enzyme on the market. It has been formulated to assist in digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber. Digest Gold differs from regular Digest in a couple of important ways. First, Digest Gold contains four more enzymes than Digest. These enzymes help with digestion of soluble and insoluble fiber, along with beta-glucan and carbohydrate metabolism. The second difference is the increase in active units. Digest Gold is approximately three times stronger than Digest in most categories. The reasons for the above differences are simple. Our regular Digest is designed and recommended for individuals who want to fully benefit from the nutrients in the foods they consume, decrease the amount of energy the body utilizes in digestion, increase enzyme potential and support all functions of the body with a high quality digestive enzyme blend. Digest Gold, on the other hand, was formulated to address the more serious issues some of our customers are dealing with. It will do everything Digest does and more. Since the formula is more potent and contains several more enzymes, fewer capsules are required. One per meal is usually sufficient to address even the most serious digestive issue. Digest Gold is also ideal for anyone suffering from health issues not associated necessarily with digestion. When stress to the digestive system, the system responsible for breaking down and assimilating the foods consumed, is reduced more energy and thus more metabolic enzymes are made available to other systems of the body responsible for overall health. This includes but is not limited to the immune system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, nervous system, etc. Obviously, since Digest Gold is the most potent enzyme blend on the market it would serve as the best choice. Digest Gold is a good choice for people who are lipase deficient.
