Enzyme Blend

Why You Need It

• Reduces Bloating & Gas: Helps break down food completely before fermentation can occur in the gut.
• Boosts Nutrient Absorption: Ensures macronutrients are broken down into absorbable sizes.
• Eases Occasional Indigestion: Provides support when your body’s natural production slows down due to age or stress.

Deep Dive

Digestive enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. When you eat a meal rich in fats, proteins, or carbohydrates, your body releases enzymes to dismantle them. However, factors like aging, chronic stress, and processed foods can deplete our natural enzyme reserves. This leads to undigested food sitting in the gut, causing bloating, cramps, and fatigue.

A broad-spectrum enzyme blend bridges this gap. For example, Protease breaks steak into amino acids; Lipase turns avocado into fatty acids; and Amylase converts grains into glucose. By taking a blend with meals, you are essentially pre-digesting your food, making it easier for your intestines to do their job.

Natural Food Sources

While you can't buy 'enzyme tablets' at the farmers market, you can eat foods that are rich in living enzymes. Note that cooking destroys these, so raw is best.

Supplementation

Dosage: There is no official RDA. Follow the label on the product, usually taken right before or with the first bite of a meal.

Who Should Take It?
