Description
Digestive Enzymes promote efficient digestion of carbohydrates, protein and fat. Digestive enzymes are vitally important for good health, but unfortunately many people dont produce enough of them. As we get older, the production of hydrochloric acid (HCL) from the stomach, digestive enzymes from the pancreas, and bile from the liver often becomes insufficient. This is especially likely if your gallbladder has been removed of you are on antacid drugs. This can result in poor digestion of food, bloating and nutritional deficiencies. When we are stressed, our production of digestive enzymes is drastically reduced. If you eat while you are rushed, stressed, anxious, or while concentrating on something else, you will not digest your food thoroughly. People who eat quickly and dont chew thoroughly have the same problem. Raw fruit and vegetables contain lots of enzymes which help with digestion. Unfortunately most people dont eat anywhere near enough of these foods. Processed food does not contain any enzymes, and cooking food destroys enzymes also. If the lining of your small intestine is irritated or inflamed, it cannot make sufficient enzymes. This will further add to the digestive problems. It is possible to reduce these problems with natural HCL, ox bile and enzymes, as found in the Super Digestive Enzyme capsules. These do not contain any corn, soy, salt, yeast, wheat, dairy products, eggs, sugar, starch or preservatives. These enzymes have a special pH sensitive coating, allowing them to pass through the acid medium of the stomach, retaining their digestive properties.
