How Do Digestive Enzymes Work?
1. Help your body break down and utilize hard-to-digest foods
Your body needs help breaking down the foods you eat – especially hard to digest foods like protein as well as sugars including glucose and lactose – into smaller molecules, so your digestion process runs smoothly.
This help comes in the form of digestive enzymes, which help speed up specific reactions in the body to easily break down foods into amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars that the body can easily use to stay healthy – which is why many people turn to a high-quality digestive enzyme supplement.
The following list of enzymes are known to help the body break down certain foods (1,3):
- Amyloglucosidase – helps break down starches into glucose
- Fungal Amylase – helps break down starches into glucose
- Acid Protease- helps break down proteins into amino acids
- Cellulase – helps break down cellulose (plant fibers/carbs) into simple sugars
- Fungal Protease – helps break down protein into amino acids
- Lipase – helps break down fats into fatty acids and cholesterol
- Lactase – helps breaks down lactose (the sugar found in milk products) into glucose and galactose
We’ve included all of the above natural enzymes in the 310 Digestive Enzymes formula… In addition, our digestive pills contain extra lipase enzyme. This particular enzyme is known to provide additional support for digesting fats in your diet. (2)
2. Maximize nutrient absorption to support overall health
Along with the unpleasant digestive symptoms that occur when your body cannot digest food properly, you may not be getting the necessary nutrients from those foods that you desperately require.
On top of that, due to modern day farming methods and other factors, research shows that there’s been a significant decline in the nutrient content of some foods, including vegetables, fruits and grains. (6,7) This unfortunately means there’s a good chance you aren’t getting all the nutrients that you need from your diet – even if you eat very healthy choices.
By supporting your body’s ability to properly absorb and utilize nutrients from the foods you eat, a digestive enzyme supplement can help you get the most out of your diet. Taking them is like adding an insurance policy to your health – they ensure you get what you need from your nutrient-dense meals!
Why is Healthy Digestion So Important?
When your body has enough digestive enzymes to adequately break down proteins, starches and fats, it takes stress off your stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder and small intestine, which helps maintain a healthy gut. By streamlining the digestive process, taking enzymes therefore may help with occasional heartburn and acid indigestion, gas, bloating, and constipation. (5)
In addition, when your body is able to properly digest foods, it may be easier for you to drop pounds and maintain a healthy weight. That is, of course, if you eat healthy, clean foods along with the correct number of calories for weight loss. (3,4)
“What If I’m Not Experiencing Any Digestive Problems?”
Just because you aren’t physically experiencing occasional digestive woes, doesn’t mean that you’re getting all of the nutrients from your meals that you could be – which is reason enough to start taking a high-quality digestive enzyme supplement!
Plus, they’re so easy to take. Just swallow one capsule with water, three times a day with meals.
