Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes plus apple cider vinegar and herbsDigestive enzymes are produced and secreted by the gastrointestinal system to break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, to accomplish digestion and, afterwards, the absorption of nutrients.
 
Your stomach, small intestine and pancreas all make them, but the pancreas is arguably the enzyme “powerhouse” of digestion. As well as the enzymes that are manufactured by the body, they also occur naturally in foods, including fruit and vegetables. So digestive enzymes come from two sources: internal and external. Internally, the digestive system secretes the enzymes and these are found in saliva, the stomach, pancreas and intestines. Externally, raw food / plant-based digestive enzymes are arguably the best source.
 
DIGESTIVEaid contains…Plant-derived digestive enzymes: betaine hydrochloride, lipase, amylase, protease (3 forms), bromelain and papain, A range of herbs: alfalfa, caraway seed, chamomile flower, fennel seed, ginger root, peppermint leaf and turmeric root (with curcuminoids).And apple cider vinegar powder.
 
Our bodies produce fewer enzymes as we get older. In fact, pancreatic secretion in the elderly is decreased by as much as 56%. Alcohol intake, allergies / intolerance (such as lactose intolerance) and stress, are just some of the other lifestyle factors that can also take their toll on enzyme reserves
