Digestive Enzymes 120 Capsules

Smidge Digestive Enzymes, formerly known as GutZyme, is one of those products that earns its place in people's daily routines and travel bags through sheer effectiveness and purity. This is a comprehensive enzyme supplement containing ten different carefully selected enzymes that work together to break down virtually every type of food you might encounter, from the healthy fats in an ancestral diet to the complex carbohydrates in beans and cruciferous vegetables that so many people find difficult to digest.

What makes this formulation particularly noteworthy is its breadth and thoughtfulness. The enzyme blend includes three different types of lipase specifically designed to support fat digestion, which is especially valuable for people following real food diets, GAPS protocols, Paleo approaches, or any dietary framework that emphasises healthy fats. If you have ever experienced discomfort after eating avocados, coconut oil, butter, or other fat rich foods, lipase support may be exactly what your digestive system needs.

Beyond fat digestion, the formula includes amylase for breaking down starches and glycogen into simple sugars, glucoamylase to support the small intestine's natural digestive processes, invertase and lactase for sugar and dairy digestion, maltase for maltose, and alpha galactosidase for those notoriously gassy foods like beans, cabbage, and broccoli. Beta glucanase and phytase round out the plant and vegetable specific enzyme support, helping to break down the complex fibres and phytic acid found in grains, seeds, and vegetables.

Perhaps the most significant inclusion in this formula is the protease peptidase complex with exopeptidase and DPP IV activity. DPP IV enzymes represent a genuinely important advance in digestive enzyme supplementation. These proteolytic enzymes support the breakdown of casein (the protein found in dairy products) and gluten, two substances that a growing number of people find difficult to digest comfortably. For anyone who experiences digestive discomfort after eating foods containing dairy or gluten, even in small amounts, the DPP IV support in this formula can make a meaningful difference.

Importantly, this product does not contain betaine hydrochloride or pepsin. This makes it suitable as either a standalone digestive enzyme supplement or as a companion product to Smidge's HCl plus Enzymes for people who need stomach acid support as well. The absence of HCl also means that the capsules can be safely opened and the powder mixed with food for children and sensitive adults who need a smaller or more gradual dose.

The capsules are vegetarian, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and water, with cellulose used as a base for encapsulation. There are no fillers, excipients, or flow agents. Every capsule is filled with only active, beneficial ingredients. The enzyme blend totals 390mg per capsule in a base of cellulose. Smidge sources these enzymes with a strong commitment to quality and safety, beginning with the cleanest microbes that produce each enzyme. These enzymes are cultivated under controlled conditions in a nutrient rich medium, and each batch is tested for enzyme activity levels, purity, and safety before being encapsulated in a cGMP certified facility.

The recommended approach is to start with just one capsule with food and then increase to two capsules together as directed. Take your dose at the beginning of a meal so the supplement can begin working on the food as you eat it. These enzymes can be used regularly to help with ongoing digestive issues or as an occasional supplement for hard to digest meals, restaurant dining, travel, or social occasions where you do not have control over the ingredients in your food.

Smidge supplements are crafted by Organic 3, Inc., a small batch supplement company founded with a mission to provide the purest possible nutritional support for people with sensitivities. The company combs the world for the most nutrient rich, fresh ingredients and is committed to using real food principles. They never use synthetic vitamins, believing that nutrients from natural sources are more precious, more effective, and more in harmony with the body's needs.

Users commonly report meaningful bloating relief from the comprehensive enzyme blend, as improved food breakdown helps reduce the gas and discomfort that can result from incomplete digestion.
