Plant enzymes help the body digest food and assimilate their nutrients. Since the body’s production of digestive enzymes declines with age, supplementing with plant enzymes may restore healthy digestion.
Enzyme blends include the digestive enzyme protease, papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple to break down protein; amylase to break down starch; lactase to break down lactose (milk sugar); lipase to break down fat; and cellulose to break down cellulose (plant fiber).
