Learn more about digestive enzymes! Enzymes are a type of protein that bring about chemical changes. Digestive enzymes are one form of these in the body, and they are also naturally present in plant-based foods, including fruit and vegetables. Digestive enzymes help to break foods down, making them easier to digest and allowing nutrients to be absorbed. There are a number of reasons for a lack of enzymes, such as eating a diet lacking in enzymes (such as processed fast foods etc). This can lead to partially digested food, toxin build-up and symptoms such as bloating, stomach ache and indigestion. You can help your digestive enzymes levels by eating more enzyme-rich foods, avoiding hard-to-digest foods (such as meat or dairy) and by taking a high quality digestive enzymes supplement, derived from plant sources.
