After food is eaten and reaches the stomach, specific Digestive Enzymes are released to start of the complicated task of digestion / breaking down of food into smaller components for absorption.
The food we eat is composed of different 'elements' i.e. protein, carbohydrate and fat. These contain amino acids, vitamins & minerals, all required for sustenance and health. However, foods require an array of enzymes to break them down into their separate constituent parts. Once digested, the body can then absorb these nutrients and transport them around the body, via the bloodstream to the various organs and cells.
The whole process of digesting foods is very complex and and during times of stress, convalescence and as we age, our natural production of enzymes (especially Hydrochloric Acid - HCL) may decline which can result in improper digestion and associated unpleasant symptoms. This is when supplementing with a broad spectrum of plant derived digestive enzymes can offer support to an ailing digestive system.
