Enzymes can be described as simple proteins found within each living cell, where they act as ‘biological catalysts’ to regulate various biological reactions, including digestion. Several digestive enzymes are involved in breaking down protein, carbohydrates, and fats and other complex molecules present in food. Through this action, they facilitate the digestive process and thus help better nutrient absorption by the body.
However, in several individuals, due to aging or otherwise, body’s natural ability to produce certain pancreatic enzymes like lipase, amylase as well as other extra pancreatic enzymes that play a crucial role in macronutrient digestion starts declining as they age.
Hence, lack of optimal digestive function associated with enzyme inadequacy may lead to malabsorption and a host of related health issues, if enzyme insufficiency is left unaddressed.
DigeZyme ® has a unique blend of specific digestive enzymes including: alpha-amylase, Protease, Lipase, Cellulase, and Lactase.
