Healthy Digestive Enzymes are a high strength digestive supplement combining a broad spectrum of natural plant derived digestive enzymes with carminative, anti spasmodic and gut soothing herbs. This unique blend aids the digestive system naturally.
“As recommended by naturopath Max Tomlinson in Marie Claire Magazine for the treatment of bloating and poor digestion”.
Digestive enzymes are vitally important as they enable our digestive system to break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats into their raw components in order to make the nutrients available for absorption and use by the body.
Each person has a finite reserve of enzymes, which can be in short supply during times of stress, illness or as we get older. Over time, poor digestion can lead to malnutrition and a range of associated health conditions.

THE ENZYMES
Betaine Hydrochloride: An acidic form of betaine, a vitamin like substance found in grains and other foods. Provides hydrochloric acid as an aid to digestion, as hydrochloric production declines with age. Gastric acid secretion deficiency increases the likelihood of intestinal bacterial and parasitic infections. Too little hydrochloric acid also impairs digestion of foods (especially protein) and the complete absorption of nutrients.
Amylase: An enzyme that helps to digest carbohydrates.
Protease 3 and 4.5: These are enzymes that break the peptide bonds of proteins and are divided into acid, neutral, and alkaline proteases.
Lipase: A fat digestion enzyme. People with pancreatic insufficiency require lipase.
Bromelain: A proteolytic protein and high-fat meals digestion enzyme derived from the stem of the pineapple plant. Used as a digestive aid, anti inflammatory, smooth muscle relaxant and anti oedema supplement. It inhibits the production of prostaglandins associated with inflammation and pain, while promoting the formation of prostaglandins with anti inflammatory actions. Also assists in reducing mucous congestion. Ideally taken with turmeric for digestive problems. It can also aid the absorption of curcumin, the active component in turmeric.
Papain: A protein digesting enzyme found in papaya fruit.

Alfalfa: This sprout contains alkaloids, isoflavones, coumarins and sterols, as well as 8 essential enzymes: – amylase (digests starches), coagulase (coagulates milk), invertase (converts sugar into dextrose), emulsin (acts upon sugars), peroxidase (oxidases blood), lipase (fat-splitting enzyme), pectinase (forms a vegetable jelly from pectin) and protease (digests protein).
Apple Cider Vinegar: A natural detoxifier, antiseptic, anti catarrhal, bitter agent, digestive aid and anti-microbial. Helps to digest and sterilise foods eaten, while cleansing the colon and helping to regulate hydrochloric acid levels. Used to aid digestion and to stimulate stomach acid and digestive enzymes.
