Digestive™ Supplement FAQs
1. What is GI support?
GI support refers to practices and products aimed at maintaining the normal function and balance of the gastrointestinal (GI) system.
The GI system includes organs involved in digestion, including the mouth, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder, all of which work together to break down food and absorb nutrients.
Many people focus on GI health as part of their overall wellness routine. Common approaches people use to maintain digestive wellness include:
- Eating a balanced diet with fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains
- Staying well hydrated, which can help food move normally through the digestive tract
- Incorporating fermented foods, like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi
- Maintaining regular physical activity, which can help promote normal digestive movement
- Managing stress levels, which can influence digestion
- Using digestive enzymes or gastrointestinal support supplements as part of their nutrition routine
Dietary supplements formulated for GI health, including Digestive™, are commonly used alongside these lifestyle habits as part of a broader approach to maintaining digestive wellness.*
2. What is a digestive support supplement, and how does it help gut health?
A digestive support supplement is a dietary supplement designed to promote the body’s natural digestion processes and overall gastrointestinal function. Products in this category typically contain enzymes or nutrients that assist with the breakdown of food and the absorption of nutrients.
Digestive™ by Mountain Peak Nutritionals contains the following ingredients:
- Digestive enzymes that help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
- Probiotics to support healthy GI flora to help support healthy digestion and elimination
- High-quality formulations with clearly labeled ingredients
Digestive™ by Mountain Peak Nutritionals contains digestive enzymes that can help break down nutrients from everyday foods, probiotics to support healthy GI flora and GI support herbs such as Marshmallow and Slippery Elm to soothe and support the Gi tract. Digestive™ is designed to complement GI wellness goals.*
3. What is the difference between digestive support supplements and general gut health supplements?
The terms “digestive support supplements” and “gut health supplements” are often used interchangeably, but they typically refer to products that focus on different aspects of digestive wellness.
- Digestive support supplements are generally designed to assist the body in processing food during digestion. These products often contain enzymes that help the body process proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other nutrients from meals.
- Gut health supplements usually focus on maintaining balance within the digestive tract itself. These formulas often emphasize microbial balance, intestinal environment, and overall gastrointestinal wellness. These products may contain probiotics and GI support herbs and nutrients.
Digestive™ by Mountain Peak Nutritionals combines digestive support and broader gut wellness in one supplement. The formula includes:
- High-potency fungal and plant-based digestive enzymes to support healthy digestion
- Betaine HCl to support healthy digestion
- Probiotics, including DDS-1 acidophilus (1.3 billion organisms per capsule) to support healthy GI flora
- Marshmallow root and slippery elm bark, botanical ingredients traditionally used to soothe and maintain the lining of the gut.*
By combining digestive enzymes, probiotics, and botanical ingredients in one formulation, Digestive™ provides a multi-functional digestive and gut wellness formula designed to complement a daily digestive health routine and promote comfortable digestion after meals.*
4. Who might consider using DigestiveTM?
Many people choose DigestiveTM as part of a routine focused on maintaining digestive wellness.*
Individuals may consider digestive supplements if they want additional support for:
- Digesting larger or more complex meals
- Supporting the body’s natural enzyme activity
- Maintaining digestive balance as part of a healthy lifestyle*
As with any dietary supplement, individuals should consult a qualified healthcare professional if they have questions about whether a product is appropriate for their needs.
5. How should you take Digestive™?
Digestive™ is typically taken with meals or immediately after eating. Taking the supplement alongside food allows the digestive enzymes to interact with the nutrients in the meal as digestion begins.*
For best results, take Digestive™:
- With the first few bites of a meal, or
- Right after eating, especially when meals contain proteins, fats, or complex carbohydrates.
Taking DigestiveTM with meals can help maximize the effectiveness of both the enzyme blend and the probiotic component.*
As with any dietary supplement, individuals should follow the directions on the product label and consult a qualified healthcare professional before incorporating Digestive™ into their daily routine.
6. Is DigestiveTM a clean-label supplement?
When selecting supplements for digestion, many consumers look for products that emphasize ingredient transparency and formulation quality.
DigestiveTM provides a clean label by:
- Clearly labeling ingredients
- Providing a well-balanced digestive enzyme blend
- Adhering to strict manufacturing standards that prioritize quality and consistency.
7. Are Digestive™ supplements safe?
Yes, Digestive™ supplements are generally safe and effective when taken as directed.*
Please be aware that:
- Individual experiences can vary, depending on personal factors, like medications, medical history, and overall wellness.*
- Those who are taking medications or living with certain health conditions should consult their healthcare provider before beginning any new vitamin or supplement.*
- Mountain Peak Nutritionals formulates its vitamins and supplements, including Digestive™, using carefully selected, evidence-informed ingredients, with a focus on consistent quality, purity, and reliable potency in every batch.*

I’ve been using Mountain Peak “Digestive” formula as a supplement with each meal. It’s many enzymes, probiotics and herbs aid the digestion process, and dispel gas associated with digestion, which really works for me!

Seem like good probiotics. Large capsule.
These appear to be good probiotics. They seem to work as well as my usual daily probiotic, but it’s hard to tell. The recommended serving is one capsule. It’s a pretty large capsule, but I didn’t have any issue swallowing it. There’s no taste or after-taste.

A Quality Probiotic Blend. A+
If you’re shopping for a probiotic, your biggest concern is most likely, the quality. For the amount you’re spending, are you getting a legitimate product? And also taking a look at the ingredients, which probiotics are listed on the label?According to quick search on the web, “Probiotics typically contain bacteria that belong in two primary groups called Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium”. The product label does list these as ingredients, and in fact, the label states it contains 12 strains of probiotics.I have purchased probiotics on and off throughout my life and I can say I’ve had times where I could tell the quality of the product was great. And other times, even with expensive brand name probiotics, where I could not tell any difference one way or another. So, with this product, having taken them during two meals a day for more than a week, my opinion is these are legitimate probiotics worth buying.I would recommend these, and don’t take my word for it, review the company website, or learn more about these ingredients online.

lots of good ingredients at a good price
Enzymes and probiotics are pretty much a must-have these days. You can get one of the other in many products, but these capsules deliver both–in fact, several strains of gut bacteria–plus some other beneficial substances like bromelain and slippery elm bark. And they do it pretty cheap too–less than 50 cents per dose. A good choice for your digestive health.

Nice blend, easy on my stomach, 90-day supply!
I like this supplement so far. It’s easy on my stomach and it’s a good value too. You get a 90-day supply in a bottle! Highly recommend for quality and value.

Great company known for quality!!
Very impressed with the info on their label and even more impressed that they clearly avoid gluten, etc. especially when it comes to gut health. I have leaky gut caused by gluten and well, I cheat a lot because I love bread but I pay dearly for it at times. Gluten gets my system out of whack and probiotics help but because of my sensitivities I want a product that is committed to keeping things simple and pure.With that in mind I did some digging on this company and I learned they are US based out of Oregon/Washington.. it was founded in 1995ish by a doctor who recently retired and sold it to a like minded family experienced in the industry and the founder is still involved. I looked at the BBB for complaints and not a one which considering how long they have been in business that is pretty impressive.They work closesly with naturalpaths and physicians and have a large product line. I read many testimonials on their different products and they were incredibly positive. I feel safe in taking these and feel the company has earned their great reputation.Update – tummy is feeling much better after my last gluten binge – I think these helped a lot!

Fantastic Ingredients
The proprietary blend is impressive. In my opinion, makes this digestive supplement attractive, even at the higher price point. This facility is semi- local to where I am in the USA. I feel good about taking these. They have the slightest sharp smell. They are not too large, and go down well. I have not had any negative experience. I do use a gas medication daily, and have used this along with it and am happy with the results.

Good ingredients
No smell or taste with this capsule and it seems to have settled my stomach after lunch. Every digestive product has its own blend of enzymes and other ingredients and this one is no different.

90 day supply for the price
I like that this is a 90 day supply. I like the mix of ingredients in this product–the digestive enzymes plus bromelain and slippery elm bark is a win for me personally. I also found these to be standard-sized white capsules that were easy to swallow with no flavor or odor. It seems to be a good quality product to me. I just take these when I feel I need them and not on a daily basis so it will last a little longer for me. This is something I would consider ordering again.
