Details
Naturally occurring digestive enzymes are proteins that your body makes to break down food and aid digestion. Digestion is the process of using the nutrients found in food to give the body energy, help it grow, and perform vital functions.*
When a meal is consumed, digestion begins in the mouth. The saliva starts breaking down food right away into a form that can be absorbed by the body. There are a lot of different points in the digestive process where enzymes are released and activated. The stomach, small intestine and pancreas all make digestive enzymes. The pancreas is really the enzyme powerhouse of digestion. It produces the most important digestive enzymes, those that break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats.*
Some people don’t have enough digestive enzymes, or their bodies don’t release the enzymes as they should. This means they can’t break down foods and absorb nutrients.*
Digestive enzyme insufficiency can lead to malnutrition or gastrointestinal irritation.*
