Digestive Enzymes

Digestive Enzymes by SFI Health – Meal-Time Digestive Support with Microbial Enzymes

Digestive Enzymes capsules by SFI Health provide five microbial enzymes in a vegetarian capsule for basic digestive support. The blend combines enzymes for starch, protein, lactose, fats, and cellulose in 90- and 180-capsule bottle options.

Key Digestive Enzymes Benefits

• Supports the breakdown of meal components with enzymes that act on starch, protein, fats, lactose, and cellulose, rather than targeting only one food type.
• Helps prepare dietary carbohydrates and proteins for further digestion by breaking larger food molecules into smaller pieces.
• Complements normal fat digestion with lipase, which breaks down dietary fats as part of the digestive process.

How Digestive Enzymes Works

Enzymes act like specialized scissors: each one cuts particular bonds in food molecules. This blend pairs enzymes with different targets so one capsule can work on several components of a mixed meal. Breaking food into smaller components is part of digestion; absorption is the later step when nutrients pass into the body.

Key Functional Ingredients Include:

• Amylase: Helps break down starch, the carbohydrate found in foods such as grains and potatoes. By cutting long starch chains into smaller sugars, this enzyme supports an early step in carbohydrate digestion before other enzymes complete the process.
• Neutral Protease: Supports protein digestion by cutting the bonds that hold protein chains together. This produces smaller pieces called peptides for further digestion, helping the digestive process work on proteins from meals rather than leaving them as large, intact molecules.
• Lactase: Breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk, into the simpler sugars glucose and galactose. Its role in this blend is specific to lactose digestion; it does not break down milk proteins or make milk suitable for someone with a milk allergy.
• Lipase: Helps digest dietary fats by splitting fat molecules into smaller components, including fatty acids. This is a normal step in preparing fats for absorption, complementing the carbohydrate- and protein-digesting roles of the other enzymes in this formula.
• Cellulase: Breaks down cellulose, a structural fiber found in plant cell walls. This gives the blend an enzyme directed at a different food component than starch or protein. Cellulase does not digest every type of fiber and does not replace fiber-rich foods.

Digestive Enzymes Is Formulated For

• Adults seeking a basic enzyme blend to take with meals.
• People looking for a microbially derived formula in a vegetarian capsule.
• Those who want enzymes for several food components rather than lactose alone.
