Digestive enzymes are not just beneficial, they are essential to the absorption of nutrients necessary to strengthen your system and supply energy. The work of digestion starts in the mouth where the saliva contributes the first enzyme, amylase. Most of the work is then accomplished by the stomach, pancreas and small intestines. Together, they produce 18 enzymes that break down food into smaller molecules, so they can be transported through the body by the bloodstream.
In today's world, many foods provide sub-standard enzymes for the body to use and having the proper number of digestive enzymes is vital to good health.
