Bile Builder vs. HCL+2 vs. Digesta-Key: Which One Should You Take?

If you’ve ever stared at your supplement shelf wondering which digestive formula you actually need, then read on.

It can feel confusing at first, but once you understand what each one does, it all starts to make sense. These three UNI KEY favorites—Bile Builder, HCL+2, and Digesta-Key—each support a different part of your digestive process. Think of them as teammates, each with a specific job.

Bile Builder gives your liver and gallbladder a boost. When bile isn’t flowing the way it should, fats don’t digest properly, hormones back up, and toxins can linger longer than we’d like. This formula helps get that bile moving again so you can break down fats with ease. It’s a lifesaver for anyone without a gallbladder—or for those who feel nauseous or bloated after heavier meals.

HCL+2 helps bring back the stomach acid your body needs to kick off digestion. Without enough acid, food can just sit there, fermenting and causing that “brick-in-the-belly” feeling. This formula gives you the extra acid and enzymes needed to properly break down protein and absorb minerals. You’ll notice you feel lighter and more comfortable after eating.

Digesta-Key is for those days when digestion just feels slow. Maybe you had a rich dinner or you’re eating more cooked foods than raw. That’s where this formula shines. It adds back the enzymes that help your body fully break down proteins, fats, and carbs—so meals don’t leave you feeling tired or sluggish. And here’s something you may not know: Digesta-Key can be taken between meals to digest adhesions, scars and fibrotic tissue! It can also be used when HCL+2 is too strong for sensitive stomachs. 

So, how do you know where to start?

• Bloating after protein? Go with HCL+2.

• Trouble digesting fats, or don't have a gallbladder? Try Bile Builder.

• Need general digestive support? Digesta-Key will cover you.

Most people feel their best when they use these formulas together. When your stomach acid, bile, and enzymes are in sync, everything just flows better. No more digestive upset—food goes down easy, you feel nourished, and your energy comes back.

What Customers Are Saying

"I have been taking Digesta-Key for close to a year. I have arthritis and I do not have a gallbladder so my fat digestion is compromised. These supplements have been very helpful for digestion, as well as joint comfort. I highly recommend it!" – Mimi

"This is a MUST HAVE if you’ve had your gallbladder removed! I am on a healthy keto diet prescribed by my doctor and digesting all those fats without a gallbladder was a struggle. Taking Bile Builder with every high fat meal has been a total game changer! No more cramping, bloating or digestive upset and I have more energy!" – Anne R.

"Bile Builder is my new favorite supplement. It has made my digestion so much more manageable, and has drastically reduced the reflux I have. I use it when I eat a rich meal or have fatty foods that are harder to digest. This makes life so much easier! I am so in love and grateful. Rarely with supplements do you see the immediate obvious results––this one was 100% a game changer for my health and well being." – Gwenivere W.

"HCL+2 has stopped me from having to take over the counter anti-acids! I was taking them every single day to avoid heartburn/acid reflux. I have not taken them in months now since I implemented this product. I feel so much better. I take one capsule with every meal. Thank you for this wonderful product!!" – Jennifer W.
