General information about the ingredients used in this supplement product
(This is not product specific and is only listed as educational material)
Digestive enzymes are enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into their smaller building blocks. Digestive enzymes are mainly in charge for the chemical breakdown of food and constitute a large portion of digestive secretions. Different enzymes with different functions are produced in particular areas of the digestive tract. The human body makes approximately 22 different enzymes that are involved in digestion. Enzymes are protein molecules that are formed within an organism that are used catalysts for biochemical reactions. Saliva contains the enzyme salivary amylase which breaks starch into smaller sugars and is stimulated by chewing. The parietal cells of the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (gastric acid). Hydrochloric acid, along with pepsin, breaks down proteins to their individual amino acids.
Functions of Digestive Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes help the body to breakdown the food. Digestive enzymes help break down these composite sugars into simple sugars that are more effortlessly digestible. The primary role for digestive enzymes is the digestion of food and making nutrients available to all of the body processes which need them.
Symptoms of Digestive Enzymes Deficiency
Symptoms of inadequate enzymes are Indigestion, heartburn, irregularity, gas, bloating, constipation, etc.
