Digestion is the key to overall mind and body wellness. If you regularly feel discomfort after eating, including abdominal pain, bloating, or acid reflux, digestive enzymes may be for you!
First and foremost, what are digestive enzymes?
They are a protein, produced by the pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and found in saliva. These proteins help your body break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. This allows your digestive tract to better absorb the nutrients in the foods you eat. It also helps prevent digestive upset such as diarrhea, gas, acid reflux, and bloating, which are all signs of insufficient enzyme activity.
What are the main types of digestive enzymes?
Amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates, protease, which breaks down proteins, and lipase, which breaks down fats.
Where do digestive enzymes come from?
Popular enzymatic food sources include pineapple, papaya, honey, bananas, avocados, and fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Animal sourced lactase, HCL, and/or ox bile can also be helpful supplements for aiding in digestion.
What about lactose intolerance?
This is when your body produces insufficient lactase enzymes to break down milk sugars called lactose. This leads to urgent bowel movements, gas, and bloating after consuming dairy. But do not fret, if you like to enjoy ice cream from time to time, we have a lactase enzyme for that!
