What Do Digestive Enzymes Do?

Digestion is something that impacts us and our bodies daily. So why wouldn’t we try our hardest to help our body perform such a demanding task? Digestive enzymes are taken before a meal, and mimic our natural enzymes to help our body break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

There are three main types of digestive enzymes:

  1. Amylase
  2. Protease
  3. Lipase

And each of these three enzymes performs a different task. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, lipase breaks down fat, and protease breaks down proteins. The Garden of Life brand carries many different digestive enzymes, as well as other kinds of natural supplements, that can each be used individually or together to build a healthier lifestyle.

However, if you are wanting one enzyme to take that will supplement all of your digestive needs, try Garden of Life’s Omega-Zyme Ultra Digestive Enzyme Blend. This blend has it all, including:
