NOW Plant Enzymes provides 10+ distinct enzyme activities in a single capsule, covering proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, and sugars — making it particularly well-suited for individuals following diverse or plant-heavy diets where fiber and complex carbohydrate loads are higher. The inclusion of multiple protease variants active at different pH levels (3.0, 4.5, and 6.0) ensures protein digestion support throughout the full length of the GI tract, not just in the stomach — a clinically meaningful distinction that sets this formula apart from basic digestive enzyme products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_13sb5_138\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"dietary--quality-standards\" class=\"_h2_13sb5_72\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDietary \u0026amp; Quality Standards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_13sb5_144\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant-Based \u0026amp; Vegan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVegetarian Capsules (Veg Caps)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon-GMO Verified\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGluten-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDairy-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoy-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEgg-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Artificial Colors, Flavors, or Preservatives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKosher Certified\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGMP Quality Assured — manufactured in a NOW-owned and operated facility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThird-Party Tested for Purity and Potency\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_13sb5_138\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"_h2_13sb5_72\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"what-are-plant-enzymes-used-for\" class=\"_h3_13sb5_88\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are Plant Enzymes used for?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_13sb5_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Enzymes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are used to support the digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, and sugars — promoting nutrient absorption, digestive comfort, and reduced bloating or gas after meals, particularly for individuals on plant-based or high-fiber diets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"when-should-i-take-plant-enzymes\" class=\"_h3_13sb5_88\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen should I take Plant Enzymes?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_13sb5_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor best results\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, take Plant Enzymes immediately before or at the start of a meal so the enzymes are present in the digestive tract when food arrives.
