- DIGEST Plus Complex: This includes functional ingredients like bentonite (clay) to improve stool consistency, prebiotics and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus) for gut flora balance, and butyrate to support the intestinal lining.
- Low Allergen Formula: These diets are formulated without common allergens such as beef, gluten, maize, wheat, soya, egg, fish, and dairy to reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
- Energy Density: The G1 formula is highly energy-dense, allowing for smaller portions that meet nutritional needs without overloading the digestive tract.
