Digestion

The Role of Digestive Supplements

Supporting Enzyme Activity

Digestive enzymes are proteins that speed up the chemical reactions that turn nutrients into substances that your digestive tract can absorb. Supplements containing enzymes like amylase (for carbohydrates), protease (for proteins), and lipase (for fats) can help break down these macronutrients more efficiently.

Nutrient Absorption and Breakdown

An efficient breakdown of food is essential to ensuring your body utilises the vitamins and minerals consumed. By assisting in the breakdown of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and fibre, these supplements can help ensure that nutrients are readily available for absorption in the small intestine.

Promoting Gut Comfort

Discomforts like occasional bloating, irregularity, or a feeling of heaviness can sometimes be a sign that digestion is sluggish or incomplete. Supporting the digestive tract with targeted formulas can help maintain regularity and reduce post-meal discomfort, contributing to greater ease throughout the day.

Who Can Benefit?

Digestive support isn’t limited to people with specific digestive issues, it can be useful as part of a daily wellness routine for many people.

• Adults: As we age, our natural production of digestive enzymes can decrease. Popular digestive supplements like Enzymedica Digest Spectrum, Digest Basic, and Digest Gold with ATPro are designed to support efficient digestion after meals.

• People with Sensitive Digestion: Some individuals have naturally sensitive systems that react to common food triggers. Gentle enzyme blends or probiotic combinations can offer support for those who experience occasional digestive stress. Some commonly used options include Digest Spectrum or Digest Gold and Probiotics.

• Children: Some supplements are formulated specifically for children, supporting the digestion of new foods and helping maintain regularity. One such example is Enzymedica Kids Digest Chewable.
