Digestive Enzymes

Vegetarian digestive enzymes

Digestive Enzymes support digestion.

They may:

  • Assist in the digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
  • Assist the digestion of plant foods containing cellulose.

Clinical Benefits:

Protein, carbohydrate and fat digestion: Digestive enzymes assist with most aspects of food digestion including the digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Protease assists with protein digestion, Amylase aids carbohydrate digestion, and Lipase assists in fat digestion.

Cellulose digestion: Cellulose is a form of dietary fibre that requires the enzyme cellulase to assist its digestion.
