Did you know that digestion starts from the process of chewing in your mouth? In this stage, we use our saliva to start breaking down carbohydrates into sugars that can be easily digested by digestive enzymes. As soon as food leaves the stomach, it enters a second phase of digestion where the small intestine utilizes these enzymes to break down proteins and fats into amino acids and fatty acids respectively.

However, if there are not enough digestive enzymes available for this process then nutrients may not be absorbed properly leaving us feeling bloated or gassy from undigested food particles sitting in our intestines! So, what's the solution? Simple: take a high-quality digestive enzyme.

What are digestive enzymes?  Digestive enzymes are the key to a healthy gut, and when you don't have enough in your body it can lead to serious health issues. They break down food into smaller molecules that can be more easily absorbed by the cells of our gut lining. They play an important role in supporting our immune system and keeping us feeling full longer between meals.

When we eat fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir- the natural enzymes and probiotics help break down food so that our bodies can better absorb nutrients from what is eaten. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms-- gas pains after eating high fiber foods; constipation; bloating; abdominal pain--you may want to consider supplementing with a digestive enzyme.
