The maximum-potency, multiple enzyme complex for better digestion
Digestive Enzymes help alleviate bloating, fullness, gastrointestinal discomfort and symptoms associated with occasional indigestion and gas. The plant-based enzymes in Digestive Enzymes work to digest a full range of foods, including protein, fats, carbohydrates, sugar and fiber. In today’s world, where we chew quickly and eat fast, many find the need for digestive support. These vegetarian enzymes (provided in a vegetarian capsule) are generally better tolerated than animal-source enzymes, and they work over a broader range in the intestinal tract.
Digestion is the process that breaks down food mechanically and chemically in the gastrointestinal tract to convert the food into absorbable forms. The body can absorb salt and water unchanged, but starches, fats and proteins can’t be absorbed until they have been split into smaller molecules. Enzymes are the leading actors of the digestive process, playing out a script that ensures the body absorbs nutrients properly.
Each of the five main digestive enzymes has a different role to play. Amylase digests starch. Protease breaks down the peptide bonds that join the amino acids in a protein, ensuring the amino acids are readily available to the body. The enzyme lipase splits apart emulsified fats. Lactase digests milk sugar, while cellulase helps break down plant and vegetable matter. These enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and are often referred to as pancreatic enzymes.
Deficiencies of these enzymes can wreak havoc on the digestive tract, causing bloating, flatulence, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Without proper supplies of these enzymes, the body struggles to digest the high-fat or high-starch meals frequently consumed during the holidays. Pancreatic enzyme deficiencies also are associated with Pancreatitis, Crohn’s disease and cystic fibrosis. Surprisingly, consuming a high-fiber diet may also cause a decrease in digestive enzyme levels.
