Digestade Capsules

Digestade Capsules give you turmeric extract, betaine hydrochloride, choline, bromelain and piperine in one capsule, taken shortly before meals. Each capsule provides 250mg of turmeric extract, 75mg of betaine HCl, 50mg of choline, 25mg of bromelain and 2.5mg of piperine. You take two capsules twice a day, 5 to 10 minutes before a meal. One pot holds 120 capsules, which is a 30 day supply.

Benefits of taking Digestade

Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function and to normal lipid metabolism. Betaine hydrochloride is a source of hydrochloric acid, the acid the stomach uses to begin protein digestion, which is why it is taken before meals. Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple that breaks down protein. Turmeric extract standardised to 95% curcuminoids is the form practitioners use, with piperine from black pepper alongside it.

• Liver function stays normal with the choline, which contributes to maintaining it.
• Lipid metabolism stays normal with the same choline.
• Betaine hydrochloride arrives before the meal, as a source of hydrochloric acid.
• Bromelain adds a protein digesting enzyme at 1200 GDU per gram.
• Turmeric extract comes standardised to 95% curcuminoids, with piperine beside it.

Who benefits

Digestade Capsules are most useful for:

• People whose practitioner has suggested a before meal digestive combination.
• Anyone who would rather take one capsule than three single products.
• Those who want betaine HCl with a digestive enzyme in the same capsule.

If you want betaine HCl on its own, at a higher amount you can build up capsule by capsule, Betaine HCl Capsules give 450mg each.

What is in it

Each capsule provides 250mg of turmeric extract at 95% curcuminoids, 75mg of betaine hydrochloride, 50mg of choline as choline bitartrate, 25mg of bromelain at 1200 GDU per gram and 2.5mg of piperine. The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose.

There is no authorised health claim for the formula as a whole. The choline claims are authorised, so the rest of the page describes the other ingredients by what they contain.

How to take it

Take two capsules twice a day, 5 to 10 minutes before a meal. Before lunch and before the evening meal is the usual pattern. Piperine can change how some prescribed tablets are processed, so anyone on prescribed tablets, or in doubt, speaks to a GP or pharmacist first.

Diet and allergens

The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.

Quality

The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.

Common questions

When should I take Digestade?
Five to ten minutes before a meal, so the betaine hydrochloride and bromelain are in the stomach when food arrives. Two capsules before each of two meals is the label amount.

What does bromelain do?
Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple that breaks down protein. Digestade provides 25mg at 1200 GDU per gram, the measure of how active the enzyme is.

What does betaine HCl do in this formula?
It is a source of hydrochloric acid, which the stomach uses to begin protein digestion. Each capsule gives 75mg, so two capsules give 150mg before a meal.

Can I take it with prescribed tablets?
Check with your GP or pharmacist first. Piperine can change how some prescribed tablets are processed, so anyone on prescribed tablets, or in doubt, speaks to a GP or pharmacist first.

Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. It is often taken alongside Enzymase Digestive Enzyme Capsules, which add a wider set of digestive enzymes. Leave Digestade for the meals where you want the betaine HCl.

Does Digestade have side effects?
It is well tolerated at two capsules before meals. Keep it to before food, as the label directs, because the betaine hydrochloride is meant to meet a meal. If you take prescribed tablets, are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.
