Digestive Enzymes 180 Tablets

Digestion is not only the process of converting food into energy, but also a complex mechanism that significantly affects other bodily functions. The dietary supplement Digestive Enzymes 180 Tablets from SWANSON is designed for people who want to make the most of the benefits of food. It supports healthy digestion with five unique digestive enzymes that occur naturally in the body and are produced by the cells of the digestive glands. However, in some situations, such as ageing, a nutrient-poor diet or stress, the production of these enzymes can be insufficient.

Amylases, the enzymes responsible for digesting sugars, are mainly found in saliva and pancreatic juice. We distinguish between salivary amylase (ptalin), which initially digests carbohydrates, and pancreatic amylase, which continues the process. Proteases, in turn, play a key role in the breakdown of proteins by breaking them down into smaller fragments, called peptides or amino acids. Papain and Bromelain, an enzyme from papaya fruit, aid in the absorption of proteins. Lipases break down fats, and among these we distinguish gastric lipase and pancreatic lipase, which convert fats into fatty acids and other smaller molecules. Diastase accelerates the breakdown of starch into maltose and cellulase facilitates fibre digestion, which promotes better absorption of nutrients. Betaine HCl increases the acidity of gastric juice, which promotes protein digestion, and bile powder emulsifies fats, facilitating their digestion, which is particularly beneficial for those with difficulty producing bile or on a high-fat diet.
