Product overview Digest Basic is a gentle potency, digestive enzyme blend containing essential enzymes that support digestion for all major food groups. It is intended for the whole family as an introductory digestive enzyme product. The capsules used are very small which makes it easy to take for individuals that have trouble swallowing capsules. Gentle support for sensitive stomachs. Supports the breakdown of fat, fibre, protein and carbohydrates. Supports healthy digestion, occasional symptoms of digestive discomfort, and energy levels. If you are going to buy one digestive enzyme formula for your entire family, then Digest Basic is the one! It is ideal for individuals who may have experienced sensitivities to high potency digestive enzyme blends. Digest Basic contains Thera-blend enzymes, and for younger family members, our Kids Digest offers gentle digestive support tailored to children’s needs. Digestive Enzymes Digestive enzymes turn the food we eat into energy and unlock this potential energy for use in the body. Since most of the foods we eat are either cooked or processed (destroying the enzymes contained within the food) our bodies must produce the majority of the digestive enzymes we require unless we use supplemental enzymes to aid in the digestive process. Over the course of many years, we use up so much of our enzyme potential making the digestive enzymes necessary to digest our food, that we may become deficient. Our ability to keep up with the digestive enzyme requirements begins to suffer which could lead to malabsorption, poor nutrition as well as digestive complaints. As we use up and abuse our enzyme potential, we begin to lose energy and weaken our body's natural ability to fight disease, thus the need for supplemental digestive enzyme products.
