Digestive Enzymes Capsules

Our Women's Best Digestive Enzymes capsules are based on the latest scientific findings and developed to support digestion optimally. This unique formula combines 16 bacterial strains with 50 billion live cultures and 15 enzymes (including digestive enzymes) to specifically support gut health, reduce bloating, enhance digestive performance, and improve the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and fats.

Additionally, we've incorporated patented DRcaps^® capsule technology, which shields the live bacteria from stomach acid, ensuring they reach the gut intact and deliver their full benefits.

The foundation of the formula is a combination of 15 targeted enzymes and 16 selected bacterial strains, delivering a total of 50 billion live cultures — including Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus, which help support gut health and relieve bloating, as well as Lactobacillus fermentum to promote a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria and stable pH levels. The blend is further enhanced with valuable fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

To ensure the bacterial strains and active ingredients function optimally in the gut, we rely on advanced, plant-based DRcaps^® capsule technology. These acid-resistant, patented capsules protect the live bacteria from stomach acid, allowing them to reach the intestines intact, where they can deliver maximum health benefits.

A stable colonization of newly introduced bacteria in the gut is also crucial for full effectiveness. That's why we've enriched the formula with prebiotic fibers such as Fibersol^®-2, acacia fiber, and FOS (fructooligosaccharides), which provide a nutrient base for the bacteria, encouraging their settlement and activity. The formula is further enhanced with valuable vitamins, including activated vitamin B2 (R-5-P), which, according to the EFSA, contributes to the maintenance and regeneration of the intestinal lining, and biotin, which supports the energy metabolism of intestinal mucosal cells and helps maintain the integrity of the gut barrier.

We've also included key minerals like calcium and zinc. Calcium supports the activity of the included enzymes, helping to optimize digestive performance, while zinc strengthens the intestinal barrier and protects the microbiome. Together, these nutrients promote a healthy gut environment that supports optimal nutrient absorption and helps maintain the balance of the gut microbiota.

Why do women experience bloating more frequently?

Studies show that women are more prone to bloating than men, largely due to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle and menopause. Additionally, differences in stress management and pain sensitivity may contribute to this increased prevalence.

Bloating often occurs when the body doesn't produce enough digestive enzymes to break down food into small, absorbable components fully. Without adequate enzyme activity, undigested food particles remain in the small intestine and eventually reach the large intestine, where gut bacteria take over the breakdown process. This can lead to gas formation and digestive discomfort.

When gut bacteria focus on breaking down undigested food rather than maintaining a healthy microbiome, it disrupts the delicate balance of the digestive system. The gut microbiome—a community of microorganisms that play a key role in digestion, immunity, and overall health—becomes compromised.

This dual strain weakens digestive function and, over time, may contribute to chronic digestive issues. As the system becomes overloaded, the body's ability to absorb nutrients efficiently and support immune health declines, potentially leading to long-term imbalances.

Gut issues from birth control pills, antibiotics and more.

The combined impact of hormonal contraception, frequent antibiotic use, and highly processed foods can disrupt the delicate balance of the gut microbiome. This disruption often leads to digestive issues, imbalanced gut flora, and weakened immune function—all of which may affect overall well-being.

The impact of birth control pills

Birth control pills can disrupt the balance of gut flora. Studies show that women who use oral contraceptives may have an increased risk of developing chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The hormonal changes triggered by the pill can affect the microbiome, potentially leading to digestive issues and a weakened immune system.

The impact of antibiotics

Another major factor affecting gut health is antibiotic use. While these medications effectively eliminate harmful bacteria, they also destroy beneficial gut bacteria, leading to a significant disruption of the microbiome. Recovery after antibiotic treatment can take time, and during this period, supporting gut health with the targeted intake of beneficial bacterial strains and a balanced diet can help restore microbial balance.

The consumption of nutrient-poor foods

There is growing evidence that consuming highly processed foods (also known as ultra-processed foods or UPFs) is linked to various health issues, including digestive problems like bloating. Many people unknowingly consume these products, as UPFs have become increasingly common in the food industry. Limited access to fresh, unprocessed foods—whether due to availability or financial constraints—also forces many to rely on these nutrient-poor alternatives.

The additives and preservatives in ultra-processed foods can disrupt the balance of gut flora, leading to bloating and other digestive issues.

Why is gut health essential for overall well-being?

The gut is a central organ for overall health, impacting far more than just digestion. Studies show that it plays a key role in immune function, metabolism, and even mental health. In fact, about 70% of immune cells reside in the gut, underscoring its importance in fighting infections and reducing inflammation. A balanced gut microbiome also enhances nutrient absorption and helps combat harmful bacteria and pathogens.

Research has linked a disrupted microbiome to various chronic conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, diabetes, and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. This connection is explained by the gut-brain axis—a communication pathway between the gut and the brain. Signals sent from the gut can influence the nervous system and mood, highlighting the microbiome's role in mental well-being.

In short, maintaining gut health supports digestion, strengthens the immune system, regulates metabolism, and promotes mental balance. A healthy microbiome is truly a cornerstone of overall health.

What is the microbiome?

The microbiome refers to the collection of all microorganisms living in and on the human body, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. These microorganisms are especially abundant in the gut, where they play a vital role in overall health. The gut microbiome functions as a finely tuned ecosystem, deeply involved in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune defense.

A healthy microbiome helps protect against harmful bacteria, supports the production of vitamins and essential compounds, and strengthens the intestinal barrier. Additionally, it influences the nervous system through the gut-brain axis, impacting mood and behavior. A stable and diverse microbiome is essential for a strong immune system, a well-functioning metabolism, and overall well-being.
