Digestive Enzymes

Digestive Enzymes

People with digestive problems will want to take digestive enzymes with every meal while others may want to use enzymes to improve their absorption and utilization of nutrients with just cooked meals. Of course, the benefits will vary, depending upon the individual's diet and general health. Those with intestinal problems should notice reduction in symptoms. Individuals in good health can expect to notice less fullness after meals, increased energy, faster emptying of the stomach contents, decreased gas, and more regular bowel habits.

Digestive enzymes play a major role in breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by your body.

Digestion begins in your saliva, breaking down the carbohydrates and fats in your food. And the action of chewing starts the production of digestive enzymes in your stomach.

Once the food has entered the stomach, the stomach enzymes work to further break it down. Proteins, fats and carbohydrates are broken down in preparation for absorption.

The food is then moved into your small intestine where most of the absorption process takes place. The lining of the intestines produce more enzymes to break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins. In addition, your liver produces bile to help with the absorption of fats.

The result of this entire process is that food is reduced to sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids - fuel for your body.

As you age, reduced digestion can become a greater issue, causing discomforts such as bloating, gas and indigestion. Unfortunately, eating well doesn't always solve the problem. Just because you are eating well doesn't mean that your body is getting the nutrients it needs to thrive.

In order to benefit from eating well, your body has to properly digest and absorb the nutrients from your food. The human body produces digestive enzymes that break down the food you eat into nutrients. Nutrients are then absorbed into your body through the small intestine.

When you are lacking enzymes, your body doesn't digest properly, and as a result, your body does not absorb the nutrients it needs.

A lack of digestive enzymes can lead to digestive and other general health problems.

People who are lacking digestive enzymes may suffer with:  

• Heatburn, Bloating
• Faltulence
• Constipation 
  
• Bad bacteria
  
• Food allergies
• Parasites,
• Irritable bowel syndrome
  
• Decreased energy
  
• Headaches
