Digestive enzymes aid in the absorption of nutrients and assist in the breaking down of the food particles you eat. This process allows the food that you eat to be used as energy, to support the building of new muscle and nerve cells, as well as protecting your blood from toxins. Inadequate enzyme production can lead to digestive discomfort, gas, bloating, low energy and allergy-like reactions to food.

Q.What are the benefits of Betaine?
A. Relieves Hypochlorhydria:
Hypochlorhydria is the low production of stomach acid, or decreased secretion of HCl. This state of low acid can negatively impact the proper digestion of food, and may allow bacteria into the gut that would have normally been killed by the acid. Betaine hydrochloride has been successfully used in conventional medicine to treat hypochlorhydria.
May Prevent Maldigestion:
Undigested food that remains in the digestive system may be linked to issues ranging from a lack of nutrient absorption to hormone disruption.
May Help with Ulcers:
Another possible benefit of betaine HCl is that it may help to heal ulcers. Betaine HCl is helpful for ulcers due to the theory that a lack of stomach acid causes an incomplete digestion of proteins and these proteins may cause negative responses including ulcers and heartburn.
Q.What are the functions of Digestive enzymes?
A.Enzymes have many functions relevant to weight loss. Digestion allows your body to absorb nutrients, without which you could not thrive or provide energy to your muscles. Malnutrition due to poor absorption of nutrients can slow metabolic rate. Moreover, undigested food can form blockages in the digestive systems, slowing elimination and promoting toxic buildup. The enzyme lipase play important roles in both digestion and the breakdown of fatty acids in the body. Enzymes may also reduce inflammation, encourage repair and fight autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Q.How Protease is used in digestion?
A.Protease:
Protease helps you to digest protein. The proper digestion of protein is vital. Undigested protein particles can pass through your intestinal wall and end up in your bloodstream. This process is called "leaky gut syndrome" and can cause allergic reactions ranging from fever to abdominal pain. Proper absorption of protein in needed for energy and the rebuilding of muscle and cell tissue.
Q. How Amylase is used in Digestion?
A.Amylase:
Amylase in needed to break down carbohydrates, including whole grains, white flours, sugars and starchy vegetables. Amylase is found in pancreatic and intestinal juices, but is also found in your saliva. This means that the digestive process of carbohydrates actually begins in the mouth, making chewing your food really well even more important.
Q.How Lipase is used in digestion?
A.Lipase:
Lipase is what allows your body to properly digest fat. Lipase is found in many foods that contain fat. Choosing the right healthy fats allows your body to burn fat more efficiently. Your body needs both the lipase produced in your stomach and pancreatic juices, as well lipase from food sources, in order to optimally use the nutrients from the fat you eat.
