Digestive Enzyme Pro Blend

Digestive enzyme output declines with age. Less stomach acid, fewer pancreatic enzymes, slower gut motility — the result is incomplete digestion, reduced nutrient absorption, and the bloating and gas that many people accept as normal. Digestive Enzyme Pro Blend provides a full-spectrum enzyme panel covering proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and dairy.

What's inside and why it matters:

1. Protease blend (Fungal Protease, Bromelain, Papain): Breaks down protein from meat, fish, eggs, and legumes into absorbable amino acids. Particularly relevant for high-protein diets where incomplete protein digestion causes gas and bloating.
2. Fungal Lipase: Breaks down dietary fats. Supports absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
3. Lactase: Supports digestion of lactose in dairy products for those with sensitivity.
4. Alpha Galactosidase: Targets the complex carbohydrates in beans, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables — the primary source of gas from these foods.
5. Probiotic strains (L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum): Adds live bacteria to support ongoing gut microbiome health alongside the enzymatic action.

Here's the Science

A 2014 review in the World Journal of Gastroenterology found that pancreatic enzyme output decreases progressively after age 40, contributing to increased digestive discomfort and nutrient malabsorption. Even in younger adults, a diet low in raw foods can reduce total enzymatic activity available for digestion.

Bromelain in particular has been shown to survive the acidic stomach environment and reach the small intestine intact. A 2012 review in Biotechnology Research International documented its stability across a pH range of 4-9 and its ability to hydrolyze a broad range of protein structures.

Alpha galactosidase directly addresses one of the most common digestive complaints from high-fiber diets. The enzyme breaks down raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose — the oligosaccharides in beans and brassica vegetables that human intestinal cells cannot digest. Without alpha galactosidase, these reach the colon intact and are fermented by bacteria, producing gas.

Suggested use: One capsule twice daily, 20-30 minutes before meals.
