Description

Super Enzymes is a comprehensive blend of enzymes that support healthy digestion. Enzymes are substances that organisms make in order to accelerate or even make possible needed chemical reactions in the body. Digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown of food, effectively allowing the body to absorb nutrients. Although the mouth, stomach and small intestines produce some, most digestive enzymes are produced by the pancreas.

Some people, be it because of genetic reasons, nutritional deficiencies or pathological conditions do not produce or release enough digestive enzymes, and the body cannot efficiently digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates, leading to malnutrition and gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation and undigested food in stools.

Protein is generally considered the most difficult of the macronutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) to digest, due to its complex chemical structure and the energy required for the body to break it down into smaller units. In fact, around 25% of the calories in protein are needed to break it down and digest it, while carbohydrates use 10% and fats only 3%. Together with the other enzymes, Super Enzymes contain Betaine HCl, which breaks down the complex chemical structures of protein and makes it easy for the digestive enzymes to digest it. It also kills harmful bacteria that may have been ingested, and helps in the absorption of nutrients such as iron, calcium and vitamin B12.

If your digestions haven’t been all that great lately, you may want to give Super Enzymes a try.
