Digestive Enzymes

Naturally occurring proteins that are contained within foods or liquid and tablet supplements manufactured for the purpose of improving digestion. Fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and other foods contain valuable proteins that help the body produce proteins for use in breaking down complex sugars within many foods. Foods high in complex sugars, which produce bloating, heartburn, gas, or indigestion within our bodies, include beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and various grains that may be difficult to fully digest after being consumed. Thus, they remain in the large intestine undigested. By consuming foods or supplements that contain digestive enzymes, the body is able to begin to break down the complex sugars into simple forms resulting in easier digestion, more effective absorption of nutrients, and relief from flatulence.
