Who Should Use It (Digest Ultimate)?

🔹 People with occasional bloating/gas after meals.
🔹 Those with low stomach acid (HCl supports protein breakdown).
🔹 Older adults or post-meal discomfort (enzyme production declines with age).
🔹 Anyone eating hard-to-digest foods (beans, dairy, fried foods).

⚠ Avoid if: You have ulcers or acid reflux (HCl can worsen it).

How to Use (Digest Ultimate):

• Take 1–2 capsules WITH meals (start with 1 to assess tolerance).
• Best for larger, protein/fat-heavy meals (e.g., steak, cheese, legumes).
• Store in a cool, dry place (enzymes degrade in heat).

---

Science Check (Digest Ultimate):

• Enzymes do work for specific deficiencies (e.g., lactase for lactose intolerance).
• Betaine HCl helps only if low stomach acid is the issue (not for everyone).

Final Verdict:

Great for occasional digestive support, especially with heavy meals. Not a cure-all, but helpful if you struggle with bloating or sluggish digestion.
