| Digestive enzymes help break down the food you eat into components that your body can use. Supplementation with digestive enzymes may enhance: - Nutrient absorption1
- Immune system function
- Digestive health
- Energy levels
As we age, our bodies produce enzymes more slowly, resulting in lower enzyme levels. Diet is another major cause of low levels2- fast food, processed foods and excesses of sugar or fat make the body work harder and use more enzymes in digestion. Cell damage caused by stress, illness, environmental pollution and free radicals results in the use of extra enzymes to repair the cells and keep the immune system healthy. Low or imbalanced levels of digestive enzymes create toxicity in the body from the waste of incomplete digestion. This pollution, in turn, encourages disease. Assessing and fixing your digestive process is critical to your short- and long-term health. Enzymes have been shown to promote healing and support overall health.3 Supplementation with digestive enzymes may help relieve occasional: - Indigestion
- Heartburn
- Irregularity or constipation
- Gas or Bloating4
