Digest-Aid contains three digestive enzymes, lipase, trypsin and bromelain. The herbs chamomile and goldenseal and the mineral charcoal have been added to further aid the digestive process. In the formula, lipase splits fats into two compounds: glycerine and fatty acids. Trypsin and bromelain are powerful proteolytic enzymes that digest proteins more rapidly and completely than pepsin. Goldenseal is traditionally used to soothe the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and aids with difficult digestion and dyspepsia.
