Cheater Eater is formulated with a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes, including dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) and lactase, which specifically target hard-to-digest components like gluten peptides from bread and lactose from dairy products. Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) enhances gastric acidity, promoting efficient protein digestion and nutrient absorption. The inclusion of ox bile extract provides essential bile acids that emulsify and break down dietary fats, aiding in the digestion of oily foods. Research indicates that supplemental digestive enzymes can significantly improve symptoms associated with functional dyspepsia and malabsorption disorders. Moreover, betaine HCl has been shown to effectively reduce gastric pH levels, enhancing digestive processes in individuals with low stomach acid.
