leaderboard Score 70.0
A multi-ingredient digestive support formula featuring a range of enzymes and ox bile, with a low dose of activated charcoal, making it better for general digestion than for specific charcoal applications.
This Sunshine Naturals product is unique in that it combines a relatively low dose of activated charcoal (120mg) with a comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes (lipase, mycozyme, pancreatin, papain, pepsin), ox bile, and betaine HCl. This formulation targets a broader range of digestive issues beyond just gas and bloating, aiming for overall digestive support, making it suitable for those needing multifaceted assistance. Its price per serving at $0.22 is quite competitive for a multi-ingredient formula. However, the low charcoal dose might be insufficient for typical charcoal-specific uses like significant gas or detoxification. Nutritionists often recommend combination digestive aids for broad support, but they would caution that the charcoal dose is minimal for acute issues.
- Offers a synergistic blend of digestive enzymes, ox bile, and betaine HCl, making it a comprehensive solution for various digestive complaints beyond just gas.
- The price per serving is highly competitive for a multi-ingredient digestive support formula, offering good value for its complex profile.
- The activated charcoal content (120mg) is significantly lower than typical standalone activated charcoal supplements, limiting its effectiveness for charcoal-specific applications like significant gas or detoxification.
- The product's review count is relatively low, suggesting less widespread adoption or feedback for this specific formulation.
- Contains animal-derived ingredients (ox bile, pepsin), making it unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans.
- Individuals with specific digestive conditions or those taking medications should consult a healthcare professional before use due to the enzyme and acid components, as well as the charcoal.

Categories
Activated Charcoal 60.0
While part of the Activated Charcoal collection, this product's very low charcoal content means it doesn't primarily excel as a pure charcoal supplement, but rather as a broader digestive aid, thus its lower standing within this specific category.
Goals
Digestive Health 80.0
Its comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes, ox bile, and betaine HCl makes it a multifaceted digestive aid, addressing various aspects of digestion beyond just gas, offering good value for broad digestive support.
Detoxification 40.0
The activated charcoal content is very low (120mg) and likely insufficient to provide significant detoxification benefits on its own, especially when compared to dedicated activated charcoal products designed for higher adsorptive capacity.
