How Does NSI® BioCore® Kids Digestive Enzymes work?
BioCore® Kids is a chewable digestive enzyme supplement designed especially for children, to promote digestive health and to help them obtain the maximum nutritional benefit from the foods they eat.
While many parents realize the benefits of providing children with supplemental vitamins and minerals, not all are aware of the importance of digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes work to break down large pieces of food into smaller, readily absorbable bits that can be properly used by the body. When food is not digested properly, abdominal discomfort may occur, and nutrients may not be made fully available for the body to use.
Reasons kids need digestive enzymes include:
- Poor chewing prior to swallowing. Digestive enzymes help break down food in the stomach, facilitating the digestive process.
- Regular eating “on the go.” Food eaten quickly also may not be chewed properly, interfering with healthy digestion.
- Overconsumption of fast or processed foods. Digestive enzymes help optimize nutrition from all foods, including those that may not be as ideal as fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Potential difficulty digesting dairy products. BioCore® Kids contains lactase enzymes that help kids digest milk, cheese and other dairy products so they may comfortably experience the nutritional benefits of these foods.
BioCore ® Kids contains a variety of digestive enzymes, including proteases to help digest proteins, carbohydrases for carbohydrates and lipases for fats. It also contains lactase enzymes to assist with the digestion of dairy.
BioCore® Kids was formulated based on a study using an advanced, computer controlled model of the human gastrointestinal tract. The study demonstrated that supplementing with digestive enzymes substantially increased the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates.
In great-tasting chewable form, one BioCore® Kids tablet should be taken at the beginning of, or during, each meal with 8 ounces of water.
