Digestive Enzymes Benefits

Lipase breaks down (digests) fat. When added to your meal as a supplement it is able to do this in the digestive tract. This takes stress off the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas. When in use between food, they can be of great support systemically and in some cases stored in the liver for soon after use.

Digestive enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and break down foods, allowing their nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream and used in body functions. They ensure that we get the greatest possible nutritional value from foods.

Digestive enzymes contain

Protease, which digests protein
Amylase, which digests carbohydrates
Lipase, which digests fats and oils; and
Maltase, which digests malt sugars and grains.
