FAQs

Is MacroGest good for a plant-based diet?
Natural Factors designed it for vegetarian, vegan and raw food diets. It includes alpha-galactosidase for beans and cellulase for vegetable fibre, and the capsule itself is vegan.

How many capsules do I need?
Just one. The label dose is 1 capsule daily with food, so the 60-capsule bottle lasts two months.

What are FODMAPs?
FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates found in foods like beans, wheat, onions and some fruit. MacroGest provides enzymes that help break down these harder-to-digest carbohydrates.
