Enzymes are a substance naturally found in our bodies in the digestive system. Enzymes act as a catalyst that can affect chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential to the breakdown and processing of the food we eat. They kick off the reaction that speeds up the metabolism of the carbohydrates, protein, and fats we consume into energy and nutrients. The products from that breakdown are then sent where they are needed in the rest of the body.

We can target the metabolism and improve our digestion of particular or all types of food we consume by supplementing with enzymes. Adding additional enzymes can aid weight management by breaking down some products more thoroughly than others. Enzymes also play a role in the body's acid levels and ph balance.

Enzyme supplements can aid with specific digestion issues, support weight goals, and protect the digestive system among its many uses.
