Digestive enzymes supplements
Always talk to your licenced doctor before trying any kind of supplement or lifestyle change.
What are digestive enzymes?
Digestive enzymes play a key role in breaking down the food you eat. These proteins speed up chemical reactions that turn nutrients into substances that your digestive tract can absorb.
Your saliva has digestive enzymes in it. Some of your organs, including your pancreas, gallbladder, and liver, also release them. Cells on the surface of your intestines store them, too.
Different types of enzymes target different nutrients:
- Amylase breaks down carbs and starches
- Protease works on proteins
- Lipase handles fats
- Lactase for lactose
If your body doesn’t make enough digestive enzymes, it can’t digest food well.
Some digestive disorders prevent your body from making enough enzymes.

Personal note from Deb. I have used the two supplements shown below.
The BULK supplement contains Lactase for lactose and is simply digestive enzymes.
The Viridian supplement contains other digestive aids in addition to the digestive enzymes. It does not conatin lactase for lactose.
