Our bodies produce digestive enzymes in order to digest food: They catalyze the breakdown of complex structures (such as fats, carbohydrates, proteins) into its parts for them to be absorbed by the intestinal tract. Our digestive enzymes are a balanced mixture of different digestive enzymes. They should be taken before or with meals. Our digestive enzymes are packaged in hypromellose capsules for stomach acid resistance, because the acidity in the stomach would render these valuable enzymes useless.
