Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are specialized proteins produced by your body to break down the food you eat into smaller, absorbable molecules. They help convert complex nutrients like carbs, proteins, and fats into simpler forms—such as sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids—that your body can use for energy, growth, and repair. These enzymes are primarily made in the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. Without enough enzymes, digestion can be slow or incomplete, leading to discomfort or nutrient deficiencies. Supporting healthy enzyme production is essential for optimal digestion and overall well-being.
