For some, digestive enzymes are a life saver. In fact, advocates say that enzyme supplements may benefit an astonishing array of maladies. But there are even more practical applications.
The bloating, fatigue and laziness that result from bad digestion are ailments digestive enzymes aim to correct. Enzymes are critical to the breakdown of food into nutrients and as supplements may help with flatulence, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux and indigestion.
Personally, I rely on digestive enzymes as part of regular digestive maintenance and to 'detoxify' my system in an effort to optimize digestive performance. Going on two years now, I'm as regular as can be and look forward to a healthy GI tract as I approach the later years in life.
