Why we need Digestive Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes break down – digest – the food we eat so it can be absorbed and assimilated by the body; they are produced in the stomach, small intestine and pancreas. As we age our body’s production of digestive enzymes decreases by 1-2% per year causing a proportional loss in our ability to process food. A 45 year old man has 20-40% of the digestive capacity he had at age 25. Genetic, dietary and environmental conditions cause a deficiency of digestive enzymes in younger people as well; for example, most autistic children have a severe deficiency of digestive enzymes. Excessive gas, heartburn, fatigue after eating, and the feeling that food “hangs” in the stomach are symptoms of indigestion that result from a deficiency of digestive enzymes. Elimination problems like constipation or diarrhea are often associated with a deficiency of digestive enzymes, food that doesn’t get properly digested doesn’t get properly eliminated. Therefore, supplementing the diet with digestive enzymes can be important to maintaining optimum health – health does begin in the gut.
Critical Digestive Enzymes
Three enzyme families are largely responsible for digestion: Proteases digest proteins, amylases digest carbohydrates and lipases digest fats. Theses are the BIG THREE that must be present every time we eat or the digestive process would never get started. Enzyme activity starts in the mouth where alpha-amylase begins digesting starches and related carbohydrates, increases in the stomach where hydrochloric acid and pepsin begin digesting proteins, and gets serious in the small intestine where bicarbonate neutralizes the acidity and pancreatic enzymes are excreted.
Subsequently, more specialized enzymes come on as the food moves deeper into the intestinal tract, examples of these are: Lactase which digests milk sugar (lactose), Invertase which digests table sugar (sucrose), and Alpha-Galactosidase which digests gassy carbohydrates like those found in beans, broccoli, and cabbage. A separate family of enzymes, often forgotten, are the fiber digesting enzymes: Cellulase, hemicellulase and pectinase. Unlike the other enzymes mentioned, humans do not produce these fiber digesting enzymes and supplementing the diet with them helps stimulate Bifidobacteria probiotics allowing them to more effectively colonize the intestinal tract. These fiber digesting enzymes are bifidogenic and they can help convert whole foods into being more effective enhancers of probiotics (Patent Pending).
