Natural Factors Vegetarian MacroGest is a unique intensive-strength plant enzyme formula specially designed to support the breakdown of hard-to-digest foods such as beans, grains, and vegetables; helping to reduce gas and bloating. Vegan friendly and non-GMO, this product provides key enzymes to assist in the digestion of foods, thus supporting nutrient absorption and colon health.
-
Suggested Use: Digestive enzymes to help digest proteins. Helps reduce gas production/flatulence following a meal rich in fermentable carbohydrates (such as vegetables, pulses/legumes/beans, and whole grains). Helps prevent gastrointestinal intolerance of oligosaccharides/fermentable carbohydrates.
Directions (Adults): Take 1 capsule daily with food or as directed by a health care practitioner. For prolonged use, consult a health care practitioner.
Cautions: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes or gastrointestinal lesions/ulcers, if you are taking anticoagulants/ blood thinners, anti-inflammatories, or antibiotics, if you are having surgery, or if you are allergic to latex or fruits (such as avocado, banana, chestnut, passion fruit, fig, melon, mango, kiwi, pineapple, peach, and tomato). Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Hypersensitivity/allergy, headaches, heartburn, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have been known to occur, in which case discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner. Keep out of the reach of children.
