Terranova Digest PBD: Enzymes for Plant-Based Meals (100 Capsules)

Plant-based eating is the best thing to happen to a lot of people's diets, but it's also the diet where digestion can take the biggest adjustment. Beans, lentils, pulses, cruciferous vegetables, and high-fibre grains all bring digestive challenges that meat-and-potato diets don't. Terranova's Digest PBD for Plant-Based Meals is the brand's targeted enzyme formula for exactly this issue, and the 100-capsule bottle gives you a proper supply for daily use with meals.

Why a dedicated plant-based enzyme formula

Standard digestive enzyme blends are built around the general protein-carb-fat triad. PBD goes further. It targets the specific compounds in plant foods that the human gut often struggles with:

• Complex carbohydrates and oligosaccharides (the bean-bloating culprits)
• Cellulose and fibre fractions from raw vegetables
• Phytate-bound minerals in grains and legumes
• The standard protein, starch, and fat enzymes you'd expect

The result is a formula that meets a high-fibre, legume-heavy, plant-forward meal where it lives, rather than treating it like a steak.

Who reaches for this

• Newly plant-based eaters whose digestion hasn't adjusted yet
• Long-term plant-based customers who still bloat after big lentil or bean meals
• Anyone who eats large amounts of cruciferous vegetables and wants daily support
• People doing a temporary plant-based push (Veganuary, plant-forward weeks) who want backup

The Terranova approach

Plant-derived enzymes (suitable for vegans), Terranova's Magnifood whole-food cofactor matrix, no magnesium stearate, no fillers. The 100-capsule bottle is one of the better value daily-enzyme buys in our range, working out at roughly a month of three-meals-a-day use.

How to take it

One capsule with each plant-based meal (or as the label directs). Enzymes are best taken with the food they're helping to break down, so take it just before or at the start of the meal rather than 20 minutes after you've finished.

If you've got an ongoing digestive condition or are on prescription medication for digestion (PPIs, IBS medication, etc.), check with your GP before starting a daily enzyme product.

Stack it sensibly

Digest PBD pairs naturally with a quality multi-strain probiotic (gut-friendly bacteria love a steady supply of plant fibre), a daily B12 (essential on plant-based diets, the LSC B12 Methylcobalamin 1000mcg is the obvious companion), and a vitamin D3.
