Super Digestive Enzymes, 100 capsules

The aging process and certain conditions cause a reduction in the body’s enzyme production. One effect of this problem is a bloated feeling soon after eating a large meal. Enzymes are essential to the body’s absorption and full use of food. The primary digestive enzymes are proteases (to digest protein), amylases (to digest carbohydrate), and lipases (to digest fat). These enzymes function as a biological catalyst to help break down food. Raw foods also provide enzymes that naturally break down food for proper absorption.

As humans age, pancreatic enzyme levels decline, thus diminishing the ability to break down food. These enzymes are vital to maintain cellular function and optimal health.* New Enhanced Super Digestive Enzymes are the Life Extension’s response to the need for a comprehensive enzyme supplement. Designed to adapt to a variety of stomach acid pH conditions, New Enhanced Super Digestive Enzymes facilitate more digestion of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and lactose than our previous formula.

With five times more activity than the previous formula and a smaller, easy-to-swallow capsule size, this enhanced formula provides greater enzyme activity per serving for the same price.
