The digestive process is a complex system in which the body breaks down the food that we eat into nutrients using digestive enzymes, which are produced in the pancreas and small intestines. If we do not have enough digestive enzymes, our body cannot break down our food completely and even though we are eating a healthy and balanced diet, the nutrients aren't being absorbed efficiently. Food allergies, low stomach acid and chronic stress also all have an impact on the production of digestive enzymes. If you feel you need some extra digestive support after meals, using Plant Enzymes capsules may help. This specialist formula includes amylase, protease, lactase, lipase, bromelain, cellulose, papain, invertase, maltase and alpha galactosidase, and betaine hydrochloride. Each of these enzymes target different food groups to give a holistic approach to the digestion from food into nutrients. Our Plant Enzymes alos contain Betaine HCl which activates in the stomach to help replenish stomach acid and promote more efficient digestion of protein as well as carbohydrate breakdown and fat absorption. Optimal levels of stomach acid are also necessary for the proper absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron. Stomach acid also forms a vital part of your immune defence against microbes, yeasts, viruses and other harmful invaders. Low stomach acid can even cause symptoms commonly mistaken for over-production of stomach acid, such as acid reflux and heartburn, especially in older people.
