Digest Select™ offers a comprehensive, potent blend of vegetarian digestive
enzymes to help support and strengthen healthy digestive function. The
eleven distinct enzymes in Digest Select™ work together to help support
the complete breakdown and assimilation of proteins, carbohydrates and
fats in a range of pH environments—from the acidic upper stomach down
through the more alkaline intestinal tract.
Many people today suffer from compromised digestive capacity. Causes
range from diets high in sugar and processed starches to lifestyles high in
chronic stress, as well as the diminishing ability of the pancreas to produce
sufficient enzymes required to break down food, a natural result of aging.
Pancreatic insufficiency also is common in people with gluten intolerance
and other digestive disorders of an inflammatory nature. Low pancreatic enzyme levels may result in uncomfortable
feelings of fullness after eating, excess gas and bloating. Insufficient digestive enzyme production and activity also
may lead to decreased absorption of food nutrients, malnutrition and GI complications such as increased intestinal
permeability or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
Digest Select™ contains plant-based digestive enzymes intended to help supplement the body’s own production of
pancreatic enzymes to help promote digestive comfort and the thorough breakdown and assimilation of nutritional
components. It features three specific protease enzymes plus peptidase to work on a variety of proteins and peptides
including gluten, lipase to help support complete and enhanced fat digestion, and six carbohydrate-specific enzymes to
help break down sugars, grains and starches: amylase, glucoamylase, invertase, acid maltase (alpha-glucosidase), alphagalactosidase (to support the digestion of fermentable starches) and lactase (to help digest lactose, i.e. milk sugar).

The eleven highly active enzymes in Digest Select™ are derived by a fermentation process using selected, non-GMO
strains of Aspergillus oryzae (amylase, lactase, maltase, peptidase, protease), Rhizopus oryzae (lipase), Saccharomyces
cerevisiae (invertase), Bacillus subtillis (netural bacterial protease), and Aspergillus niger (glucoamylase, acid stable
protease, alpha-galactosidase). Enzyme activity is assayed according to current FCC and industry standards, i.e. not
less than 85% and not more than 115% of the declared units of enzyme activity. All the microbial enzymes used in
Digest Select™ are acid-stable and designed to survive the acidic conditions of the stomach environment.
Optimizing protein and muscle physiology is a core feature of the Moss Nutrition approach to optimizing health.
Beyond their role in protein synthesis, dietary proteins and their breakdown products (e.g. bioactive peptides) have
been shown to influence a wide range of physiological, metabolic and regulatory functions. Proper and complete
digestion of dietary proteins into component amino acids is therefore crucial. Digest Select™ is formulated to contain
multiple proteases that provide proteolytic activity across a broad pH range, helping to ensure that protein digestion
occurs throughout the digestive tract, both in the stomach and the small intestine. Proteases derived from Aspergillus
niger specifically have been shown to help break down gluten in the stomach of healthy volunteers.
Digest Select™ also features potent levels of two specialty carbohydrase enzymes. Alpha-galactosidase helps to break
down certain digestion-resistant carbohydrates found in grains, legumes and vegetables from the cruciferous or
Brassica family such as cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli. Lactase is the enzyme needed to break down lactose, a
disaccharide milk sugar that causes dairy intolerance in many individuals post-weaning. The alpha-galactosidase and
lactase enzymes in Digest Select™ are intended to help inhibit intestinal gas production, increase gastrointestinal
comfort and improve digestive function in response to the consumption of difficult to digest starches, cruciferous
vegetables or lactose-containing milk products.
One capsule of Digest Select™ taken at meal times is the suggested serving size. Consider two capsules per meal when
a particularly large quantity of food is ingested, or for patients with highly compromised digestive function.
