Do You Need Digestive Enzymes?

Most people eat primarily cooked and processed foods. Raw foods or naturally fermented foods (like sauerkraut and kimchi) supply enzymes that help food digest and take stress off of our digestive and immune systems. When these enzymes are lacking in the diet it strains the digestive system and can contribute to food and respiratory allergies. To find out if you need an enzyme supplement, check the answer that best applies to you for each of the following questions.

Choosing an Enzyme Supplement

Enzymes are found throughout the animal and plant kingdom. They are known as the spark plugs of life because their role is to catalyze, or speed up, chemical reactions. 5,000 enzymes have been discovered since the 1930s, with 3,000 found in the human body. These enzymes both build up and break down all the substances the body needs to function, repair tissues, break down toxins, regulate immune responses and, last, but not least, digest our food.

Since enzymes are destroyed by heat and processing, most of the foods Americans consume contain no enzymes. Instead, they often contain enzyme inhibitors in the form of preservatives. In traditional diets, a large portion of food was consumed raw. In traditional diets where more cooked food was consumed, naturally fermented foods were nearly always consumed with cooked food. Naturally fermented foods are rich in both enzymes and probiotics (friendly bacteria).

Many of the digestive problems people experience in modern society (acid reflux, acid indigestion, upset stomachs, gas, bloating and belching) are caused by a lack of enzymes. This lack also contributes to other health problems, including food and respiratory allergies, sinus congestion, auto-immune conditions, intestinal infections, parasites and more. Enzymes also help reduce inflammation and pain in the body by supporting immune functions.

So, taking an enzyme supplement like Proactazyme Plus is a wise choice for many people. Proacrazyme Plus contains plant enzymes, the kind we would naturally find in the diet if we were eating more raw and fermented foods. It will not only help food digest better, thus preventing digestive upset and intestinal gas, it will also improve absorption of nutrients.

Elderly persons, or people with extremely poor digestion may need a stronger enzyme product. In this case, Food Enzymes is a better choice. Food Enzymes supplement the enzymes and digestive secretions the body produces to break down food. The secretions typically decline with age, resulting in both loss of appetite and increasing health problems.
