Digestive Enzymes Benefits
Produced in the body and found in certain foods, different digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid support food breakdown and the assimilation of nutrients. The digestive process plays a significant role in maintaining overall wellness, like:
- Digestion and assimilation of nutrients
- Gut microbe balance
- Bloating, gas and digestive insufficiency
Healthy digestive function can have flow on supportive effects for energy production, tissue repair and maintenance, and mental clarity.
Why do we need digestive enzymes?
The body's digestive enzymes are essential for breaking down food into smaller, absorbable nutrients: amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. They also help maintain the correct pH balance in the gut, which in turn supports a healthy microbiome – so that beneficial probiotics can thrive and support overall health.
Low gastric acid and digestive enzyme levels can be influenced by many things.
- Stress or being super busy
- Eating on the go – not stopping to relax during meals
- Certain medications
- Strenuous exercise
- Nutritional deficiencies including Iron, Zinc and B complex vitamins
