Humans are not the lone producers of digestive enzymes. Many plants, animals, and even microbes are known to manufacture enzymes that can break down complex macronutrients like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into usable building blocks. This group is generally called the natural digestive enzymes.
And through the years, people have learned to harness these compounds especially plant-derived digestive enzymes to enrich the body’s supply. But why do humans need supplementary digestive enzymes when they can produce on their own?
Digestive Enzyme Insufficiency
Not all people can produce and maintain sufficient levels of digestive enzymes. Studies show that poor enzyme production impacts human health negatively. Low levels of digestive enzymes slow down digestion that can involve several medical conditions like:
- Bloating
- Flatulating
- Abdominal Pain
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Irritable Bowel Movement
- Food Allergies
- Foul Smelling Stools
- Floating Stools
- Weight Loss
- Malnutrition
The most popular example of this is lactose intolerance wherein the body has reduced capacity to produce lactase, a type of carbohydrase that catalyzes the breakdown of sugars in dairy products. People with such conditions tend to experience intense bloating and burping after consuming food with milk like cheese. This condition is more common in adults and people with allergies.
How to address enzyme deficiency?
Fortunately, there are many ways to keep digestive enzyme levels high. People can consume raw foods rich in dietary enzymes like pineapple, papaya, mango, and many more. But apart from this, a person may opt to take prescription enzyme medications or over-the-counter enzyme supplements.
Prescription enzyme medications are only given to people with clinically diagnosed diseases like chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and others whose production is significantly low. These meds are usually produced using the pancreas of pigs that contain a mixture of amylase, lipase, and protease. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors the manufacture and distribution of these meds.
So, for people who just want to augment their natural digestive enzyme production, over-the-counter digestive enzyme supplements are great options. These products usually come in rich mixtures of digestive enzymes derived from plant sources like fruits and vegetables. They even contain digestive enzymes that humans don’t produce like cellulase, a type of carbohydrase that breakdown plant cellulose. People can purchase these supplements from drugstores, health and wellness stores, or online.
Benefits of Enzyme Supplements
There is a lot of promising benefits from taking over-the-counter digestive enzyme supplements. Some of them are listed below:
- Improved bowel movement.
- Better nutrient absorption thus preventing malnutrition.
- Increases your daily energy.
- Healthier gastrointestinal tract
- Better inflammatory response
- Supports healthy weight management
