NOW Foods Super Enzymes (180 Tablets)
by NOW Foods
"Bromelain + ox bile + pancreatin + betaine HCl — the full-spectrum digestive enzyme with 180 tablets and 16,000+ reviews"
Overview
NOW Super Enzymes 180ct provides a comprehensive digestive enzyme blend including bromelain (from pineapple), ox bile extract (for fat emulsification), pancreatin 10X (providing protease, amylase, and lipase), papain (from papaya), and betaine HCl (for stomach acid support). This full-spectrum formula addresses protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion from multiple angles. Betaine HCl supports individuals with low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), which becomes increasingly common after age 50. Ox bile extract is particularly helpful for those without a gallbladder or with bile insufficiency. The 180-tablet count provides a 6-month supply at one tablet per meal.
