Digestive enzymes are naturally occurring proteins that play a vital role in the breakdown of food to be converted into energy for physical wellbeing.
The body is well capable of producing these enzymes. Most digestive enzymes are made in the digestive system like the stomach, small intestine, and mouth, where digestion begins. The pancreas produces the majority of digestive enzymes.
Certain pancreatic medical conditions such as EPI can lower digestive enzyme production, as does aging, stress, and heredity. A poor diet of refined, processed food and a lack of natural sources of enzymes can also require a good digestive enzyme supplement.
Longevity Science has developed Total-Gest. Some enzyme supplements use animal and plant-based sources, but Longevity Sciences’ formulation is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian and is a proprietary blend of 17 enzymes with vitamins and minerals.
