Multi Enzyme (formerly B.P.P.) by Thorne

Gut Health 

Multi Enzyme (formerly B.P.P.) combines HCl and pepsin with pancreatic enzymes to promote digestion and absorption of protein, carbs, and fats.

Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and the proteolytic enzyme pepsin that is secreted in the stomach, and the pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine are essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. A supplement containing these enzymes can provide benefits in situations when less than optimal amounts are produced in the body – like during the natural aging process.

HCL facilitates the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Pancreatic enzymes facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Key Features of Thorne's Multi Enzyme:

• Contains undiluted pepsin and pancreatin
• Does not contain lactose, which is often used to dilute pepsin and pancreatin
  

***Multi Enzyme should not be used concurrently with H2-blocking drugs and proton pump inhibitors because these drugs are intended to block the production of stomach HCL.

***Multi Enzyme is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers. It is not recommended to remove the Multi Enzyme powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.
