WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM DIGESTIVE ENZYME SUPPLEMENTS?
Digestion is a complex process of breaking down digested food into smaller components which the body can use to function. It starts the moment the food touches the tongue and teeth and continues to the stomach, and intestines, down to the point where the food remnants are ready for elimination. Digestion employs a number of organs like the stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and intestines. And among the crucial secretions necessary to the process are our digestive enzymes. While unprocessed, raw foods do contain enzymes, cooked and processed foods do not. All of us could benefit from using digestive enzymes with cooked meals.
People who frequently experience digestive discomfort such as abnormal bowel habits, gas and bloating, nausea or indigestion after eating, may have insufficient enzymes to properly digest their meals. In addition to benefiting from supplemental digestive enzymes, they may also find that reducing stress is also important. Moderate exercise, relaxation techniques and eating in a relaxed environment will all help.
Hypochlorhydria or low stomach acid is more rampant among the elderly but is also common with people who live with chronic stress. Did you know that having sufficient stomach acid is essential to the consequent secretion of the pancreatic enzymes? If the acid is very low or missing, fewer enzymes are released in response. After all, part of their job is to increase the acid pH for food that travels down into the intestines.
The contribution of the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas are all critical for a successful digestive process. Therefore, individuals with diseases related to these organs may have an impaired ability to produce digestive secretions necessary for specific functions. Those who have had gallbladder removal who have post-cholecystectomy syndrome could also greatly benefit from digestive enzymes, along with supplemental bile salts.
As we grow older, our stomachs secrete less and less acid. Stomach acid is especially important to protein digestion. Aging also affects the rate of enzyme production. The fewer enzymes we make, the fewer nutrients we absorb from our food which depletes us of the nutrients needed to make hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the first place, which means we absorb even less nutrients. It's a never-ending cycle.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with any type of enzyme deficiency, taking digestive enzymes may not simply be beneficial; it may be imperative for nutrient absorption and function. Mineral and vitamin deficiencies often have their root in enzyme deficiency.
Any kind of digestive symptom will likely respond to the support that digestive enzymes can give. Increasing your breakdown and absorption of essential nutrients can only support all cells and all body systems.
