Digestive Enzymes Capsules

Additional Details

Food Enzymes is a key product for the digestive system. All foods require processing (digestion), and enzymes are able to change food compounds for assimilation into the bloodstream. A number of different enzymes are needed to deal with hundreds of differing food compounds. Certain enzymes are produced by the body to digest large quantities of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Some enzymes are found in foods. However, most processed foods lack the enzymes needed for proper digestion. Proper digestion is a requirement for optimum health, and incomplete or disordered digestion can be a major contributor to the development of many diseases. Not only are foods and nutritional substances of little benefit when breakdown and assimilation are inadequate, but also, incompletely digested food molecules can be inappropriately absorbed into the systemic circulation. This can lead to various diseases and the development of food allergies. Also as we age, our body’s natural production of enzymes may slow down. Some of the causes of decreased production include dietary aspects such as food insults or allergies, alcohol consumption and semi-starvation diets or anorexia. Chronic stress, which will cause a shunting of blood circulation away from the digestive tract, can also interfere with enzyme production.
