Digestive enzymes are specialized proteins that help facilitate the proper break down of the foods we eat. They jump start metabolism and enhance the body's natural ability to break down food in to basic nutrient forms, which are absorbed into the body and perform life-sustaining functions. Digestive enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and enter the stomach and small intestine, where food particles continue to be broken down and nutrients are ultimately absorbed into the body. This potent combination of digestive enzymes helps to ensure that foods are properly broken down and vital nutrients are accessible in the body.* If digestive enzymes are not present in sufficient amounts, digestive upsets such as gas, bloating, heartburn, and indigestion may occur. Enzymes pancreatin and lipase help to break down fats and oils, while trypsin, pepsin, bromelain, and papain assist in the break down of proteins. Bromelain also enhances the effects of trypsin and pepsin. Undigested food particles can decay in the intestines, producing bacteria and toxins. This toxic build up along the walls of the colon becomes a feeding ground for intestinal bacteria and can cause bowel complaints, such as constipation and diarrhea. Digestive enzymes can help prevent these complaints before they happen.*
