What are the Benefits of Digestive Enzymes?*

Digestive enzymes help your body break down the carbs, fat, protein and fiber you eat, so you can convert food into fuel. Ours are formulated for full-body results, to help speed up digestion, boost energy – and reduce occasional gas, bloating and indigestion.* 

Here are some of the benefits of digestive enzymes: 

  • They help your body access the energy and nutrients in the foods you eat.* 
  • They help with muscle protein synthesis by breaking down proteins into amino acids.*
  • They help your body make use of vitamins A, D, E and K, which are fat-soluble.*
  • They help you feel your best before and after you eat, by reducing occasional gas and bloating.* 

Here’s a deeper look at how enzymes work and how they offer those benefits: 

Specific enzymes target specific macronutrients. Amylases convert carbohydrates into sugars. Lipases break down dietary fat. Proteases are a group of enzymes that take apart proteins into their building blocks, or amino acids. Cellulase breaks down cellulose, otherwise known as fiber. These are the main groups of digestive enzymes.  

Occasional gas and bloating happen for many reasons, including a shortage of digestive enzymes. By the time food – or what’s left of it – arrives in your large intestine, it should be well-digested. When it’s not, that undigested food begins to ferment, leading to gas that then causes bloating.
