Absorb nutrients better and have a better digestive track – here is how
From my experience on trying to eat right and be as healthy as I can no matter what I did to maintain proper eating and nutrition that I just didn’t feel right in the midsection if you know what I mean.
For those who take any kind of whey protein or any protein really, digestion is highly important so you don’t feel like you are walking around with a small brick in your stomach.
DigestTech – Don’t question….Know what you take and why
DigesTech is a combination of various enzymes and products that aid the human body to digest food. DigestTech having a long list of helpful ingredients which are shown below. It would take too much of your time to list all of them here so below I have put together some of the most important to list and given an explanation of how some of them work.
- Invertase: this is responsible for breaking down sugar and combines with other carbohydrate digesting enzymes to enhance digestion of starch, carbs and sugars.
- Serrapeptidase: made from the humble silkworm, which helps to break down non-living tissue which also has anti-inflammatory properties as well.
- Fennel Seed: which contains many minerals including magnesium, providing very quick acting relief from many digestive disorders.
- Ginger Root: this is a wonderful product that can reduce nausea, improve digestive fluids and help with heartburn and stomach cramps.
- Pepsin: this aids the body in breaking proteins down into polypeptides.
- Amalayse: the enzyme that breaks starch down into simple sugars (glucose), so that your body can then utilize these for fuel.
- Protease: this helps with digesting waste, such as toxins and other cellular debris.
- Lipase: this enzyme breaks down fats that are too large for the body to absorb which enables them to have the ability to be absorbed.
- Cellulase: as we don’t naturally produce an enzyme for this to break down plant matter this is essential for the body to be able to break down plants or leafy foods.
True Digestive weight loss help that won’t upset your stomach.
For most people, they would rather fight their way through trying to eat a measured amount of food to obtain a regular digestive track and to obtain proper body weight. I don’t blame them a bit, it is what we all are taught and shown even if we hire a personal trainer and let me tell you that hiring a personal trainer can be very expensive. Although all the magazines you buy now days show you all these different ways to do the same thing.
Still, we are left with the question ” What do I do?”.
My Experiences with Onnit’s DigesTech
Being that I have dealt with Onnit before, using their product Alpha Brain, I decided to take a look if they offered anything for a healthy digestive track. In my luck and now yours as well if you choose to, there is a great option out there and it is DigestTech.
What I use daily and I have been taking for the past year now, it has helped me maintain a better digestive track which is something I have always struggled with.
If you don’t believe me that this stuff works just watch this video of Onnit’s founder Aubrey Marcus talking about Digestech.
Personally speaking, either one of these options is great if you are experiencing an issue with digestion or just struggling with stubborn belly fat then this is a no-brainer. I will say that you should not take both of them at one time, choose one of them to try at least for one month or however long you would like.
DigestTech
Price: $32.95 but is 20% off on your first purchase with #StayOnnit

This was great for me to read because my husband eats a lot of red meats and cheese during the week and sometimes this really wrecks his gut for a few days. Only when he stops eating this way does his body start regulating itself again…but he likes the food that he likes too much, if that makes sense. He isn’t really willing to change his eating habits. He could really use an aid to his digestion though. I make sure that he gets plenty of fruits and salads into his system as well, but these don’t seem to help regulate things like they should, haha.
Does this product aid in blood sugar control? I noticed that the first ingredient that you listed is responsible for breaking down sugar, is that what glucose controlling products do? Just curious!
Oh ginger root is so good for our bodies! I am not sure if ginger root is the same as ginger (probably is) but a lady at the grocery store was telling me how she beat cancer and the chemotherapy (or something during the process of her fighting cancer) really lowered her immune system. She now has to make sure to intake a lot of ginger because it boosts the immune system to bring it back near where it should be if not functioning properly so there is a fun fact!
How often do you take these supplements?
Do you have to take them with the meal that you need digested easily?
Great information, and great video!
Mallory,
Nice to hear from you. A few of your questions:
“Does this product aid in blood sugar control?” Yes this product does help with the breakdown of sugars which will help in ways,
“How often do you take these supplements?” DigestTech is taken once a day, either in the morning or before bed. That is up to you as the results are the same, it really depends on your eating habits as well meaning if you eat heavy at nigh then take 2 capsules before bed or if you eat heavier during the day then take two capsules in the morning.
“Do you have to take them with the meal that you need digested easily?” Personally I take DigesTech in the morning when I get up so to answer your question, no it does not require you to take this with a meal although taking supplement on an empty stomach can bring different results so I do recommend that if you take it on a empty stomach then eat something shortly there after.
I hope that this helped answer your questions, I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you very much for visiting the site.
Thanks,
Shane
Digestech is an amazing supplement that helps you digest your food better, which, of course, helps your body assimilate the nutrients better and helps the nutrients get to where they need to go. Maybe you are eating right and exercising and no matter what you still have that gut hanging over your pants.
Well DigestTech aids you body with enzymes to help your body digest food better and get rid of that big gut. For example it has invertase which helps break down the sugar and helps you assimilate the starches, sugar, and carbs you eat.
It has fennel seed to help quick relief from digestive disorders, and since your gut is your second brain, this is a really helpful thing.
And the ginger root helps with heartburn and stomach cramps.
Protease helps digest waste and other toxins. And Lipase helps break down fats that are too large for the body to absorb. So wen you think about it, why isn’t everyone taking this stuff? I mean we are a country of obese and morbidly obese people.
We need this more than anyone.
Hi,
I couldn’t agree with you more, DigesTech is a great supplement in aiding in so many ways for proper digestion and absorption of what we eat that it is unreal that people just don’t believe in trying to help themselves with proper nutrition. I believe that it is because there are so many rip off products out there and people have been taken advantage of that they are hesitant in trying something else.
It truly is sad that this happens but this is the main reason why I have put together this website, to help people in anyway that I can. Show the positive points, the negative points, be truthful , and above all else I just want to help people because in todays world we fight obesity and health problems because of the fast food that they put in front of our face.
I do want to thanks you for stopping by and I hope to hear back from you because this site is all about helping and growing.
Thanks,
Shane
Hi Shane,
Thanks for this information. I have always tried maintaining a good diet, but i know that it is hard to absorb the nutrients in your food without getting the right minerals. Being so busy…this is so hard to do! I am seriously considering trying digestech especially since the ingredients are all natural.
Love and light,
Vivia
Vivia,
Great to hear from you. From my own personal experience DigesTech is a great supplement to help you digest health foods that our body normally rejects and gives a much better absorption rate, meaning when you eat then you will not be hungry again in an hour or so because your body got the nutrients that it needed form the meals you eat.
It has some many benefits that I have seen and I have been taking DigesTech for around 2 years.
Thanks for visiting and I look forward to hearing your results and how much you like DigesTech.
Shane
Digestech sounds like amazing stuff. I bet it works wonders with other supplements allowing you to digest and absorb more of the precious nutrients that your body needs.
I wish I had found this product sooner as it could have really helped me all those years I was using supplements and switching to a green diet.
Green diets especially could use this as they are very hard to break down. I think this product is breaking new ground.
Are there any side effects to its use over a long period of time?
Michael,
To start off I would like to thank you for your time and willingness to better yourself.
As far as if there are any side effects from DigesTech, there are no known side effects as it is an all natural supplement just like many of the products that I recommend. Very low risk and high gain from a health and well-being perspective.
I have been taking 2 capsules of DigesTech every morning for around 2 years now and I absolutely love the benefits from this product, if there is one go-to supplement that I would say is the best value for the benefit then DigesTech has really broke through to be an industry leading in proper digestion and human health optimization.
Thanks,
Shane
Hi,
As soon as I read this product was from ONNIT I got super excited!!
LOL, you need to put that in caps upfront 🙂
All the podcasts I listen to recommend ONNIT….Joe Rogan, Lewis Howes, London Real…etc.
I’ve been working out a long time and supplements have always been part of a great nutrition plan.
Whats your favorite product from this company?
Steven
Steven,
I agree about having everything is Caps because a standout product needs a standout attention grabbing.
If I had to say what my absolute favorite products made by Onnit then it would be everything in this sites product section as I take all of them, I do not recommend anything that I do not use myself so I have my own personal experience to give everyone the best point of view. Truly a great company that is looking out for us in health, fitness, well-being, and human optimization.
Thanks,
Shane
Digestive supplements can really be a great help-especially of you are struggling with gut issues where you constantly feel bloated and gassy and generally uncomfortable.
Just wondering though, is there a chance you could get hooked on these supplements and never be able to get off them if you wanted to because your body would go a little haywire if you had been on them for a long time? I only ask because I went through a reasonably long phase of taking JuicePlus vegie and fruit capsules which have some similar ingredients to DigesTech (however, due to the silk worm ingredient in DigesTech I believe DigesTech would be a higher quality product) and I felt like my body reacted for a few months to not being on them anymore.
Truth be told I wanted to find if I felt better on them or off them, still experimenting.
What do you think?
Liz,
Good to hear from you and about your concerns, there are no worries regarding DigesTech because it is an all natural product along with having enzymes that our bodies do not produce which help us digest leafy foods. In my opinion, the reason that you had such trouble with juicing is because it is really hard for our bodies to get used to juicing and when it does then stopping will basically put your body in culture shock.
In other words, DigesTech is perfectly healthy and fine to take without worries of not taking it and then having adverse effects. I have quit taking it before for a few months as an experiment and I had no trouble at all besides what I had before ever taking DigesTech. I used to be really sensitive to lactose, leafy foods, and foods heavy in gluten.
By taking DigesTech, my sensitive stomach is gone because DigesTech helps your body absorb the nutrients and use them and discards the rest.
I hope this was helpful and I look forward to hearing back from you,
Shane
Shane,
This seems like a great product. The enzymes you’ve listed would probably help most issues with digestion. Despite healthy eating and adequate activity, your GI tract may still refuse to cooperate.
Taking a natural product to help out with digesting the modern diet can be a big game changer. Add on all the supplements, junk food, and varying eating schedules, then you can definitely expect to have digestive issues, at least periodically. Can this product be taken as needed or must it be daily to reap the benefits?
Thanks for the info.
Tugarcia,
Great to hear from you and to address the question that you have, DigesTech is best taken as directed which is once daily but I really have never tried it as needed. Honestly, this is not an over the counter drug or even a drug at all so like any supplement you would have to take it as directed to let it get into your system to get the full benefits from it.
Personally, I would stay away from something that I could take as needed because that means it are to aggressive on you digestive track.DigesTech by Onnit labs is fully tested and is completely all natural, meaning that it is a product that is a good fit for anyone if taken as recommended.
Thanks,
Shane
Do you mean that even if we exercise with a trainer or the gym we still might have a fat gut if the enzymes are wrong?
I really like the idea of the fennel seeds and ginger root. But those other things you mention aren’t commonly found in the garden. Where do they come from?
Janelle,
Good to hear from you and to answer your question, yes if you workout daily and even eating properly then your body needs a way to absorb nutrients and DigesTEch does this. Our bodies do not produce the enzymes to breakdown certain foods so added help is needed to reap the benefits of what we eat plus the added point that after a workout then your body is in a position where it is tired and needs the proper nutrients.
Some of the elements of DigesTech are found in different regions so we do not have access to them here and these are the main elements that help you absorb the foods, I would love to say that you could eat your way to this success but it just isn’t the case, your body needs help and DigesTech form Onnit Labs is the answer.
I hope this helped and let me know your progress and how this are going,
Shane
Great review, I think that promoting this sort of thing really is a great thing. So many people get lost in their diet with the amount bad food in the markets. I agree with the bloated feeling that protein supplements can give you. Having an alternative like this can really help avoid that feeling. It also helps with issues like obesity and controlling blood sugar levels through out the day.
Great read thanks.
Lee,
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad to be of help. Onnit’s DigesTech is a great product to make sure that you absorb all the proper nutrients and discard the rest.
DigesTech has helped me maintain my weight by helping my body used the nutrients that I take instead of them going to waste. with all the foods out here these days it really is in our best interest to take a supplement like DigesTech to aid in proper health.
Thanks,
Shane
Hi thanks for your interesting article. I am in my late forties now and ever since I passed the 35 mark I’ve had problems with my stomach. No matter what diet I eat or how much exercise I do I cant seem to get that flat tight stomach back I once had. I’ve tried just about every diet pill out there but so far nothing has worked. I would defiantly be willing to give this product a try. Thanks again. Joanne
Joanne,
Yes, I do believe that this will help you with straightening any stomach issue that may happen due to the foods we eat so taking a supplement to aid in this is a great benefit.
Let me know your results because I have never heard of anything negative about DigesTech.
Thanks,
Shane
