Digestion literally means breaking down from large to small. The enzymes found in Digestion Intensive were chosen for their ability to support the breakdown of the macronutrients in food. This includes carbohydrates (i.e., amylase), proteins (i.e., protease), and fats (i.e., lipase).

Carbs, proteins, and fats must be fully broken down to be properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Once your food is digested into small simple sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids, your body can absorb these essential nutrients. Nutrients must be absorbed to be utilized for growth, repair, maintenance, and powering your entire body.

At the same time, proper digestion releases vitamins and minerals that are bound to carbs, proteins, and fats. The release of these bound nutrients is essential for their absorption. As a result, healthy digestion plays a critical role in proper nutrition.

The food you eat is only as good as what you digest and absorb! Partially digested food disrupts gut health by irritating the gut lining and providing fuel for potentially pathogenic bacteria. The resulting inflammation can lead to malabsorption and malnutrition. Digestion Intensive promotes digestive health by providing the natural digestive enzymes your body needs to support proper digestion.
