Digestive enzymes play a major role in splitting the food that you consume. The proteins accelerate chemical reactions that make nutrients into substances that the digestive tract can take in. The saliva contains digestive enzymes. Some organs, including the gallbladder, pancreas, and liver release them as well. Cells present on the surface of the intestines store them as well.
Various enzymes target various nutrients. Amylase helps in breaking down starches and carbs. Protease helps work on proteins while lipase deals with fats. Certain digestive disorders stop your body from making sufficient enzymes like lactose intolerance. This is when the small intestine stops making ample enzyme lactase that helps in breaking down the sugar content in milk [lactose]. With a lack of lactase, the lactose present in dairy products will end up in your colon rather than getting taken into your body. It will then join with bacteria and lead to uneasy stomach symptoms.
If your body cannot make sufficient digestive enzymes, it cannot absorb food well. This means diarrhea, stomach aches, gas, or various other painful symptoms.
Enzyme supplements
You might have observed digestive enzyme powders, pills, and liquids on the local supermarket or nutrition store aisle. These supplements help ease digestive disorder signs. Your weight, age, and other things decide the proper dose. Ensure that you talk to your physician before opting for any type of supplement.
At present, most enzyme supplements are animal-based and researchers are predicting that bacteria and plant-based ones could be common in the near future.
