Vegetable and Fruit Enzyme

Enzymes are biological catalysts that help speed up chemical reactions such as metabolism, digestion and energy conversion in the body.  Examples of vegetable and fruit enzymes include Bromelain, Papain, Cellulase and Amylase.

Digestive enzymes are produced and secreted by the gastrointestinal system to help speed up digestion and break down food into nutritional components for absorption. Most digestive enzymes are produced primarily in the pancreas as well as in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.

Nonetheless, the production of enzymes in the digestive system may vary from time to time due to modern food choices and lifestyle.  A reduced level of digestive enzyme secretion can result in indigestion, leading to unpleasant gastrointestinal discomfort such as diarrheoa and bloating.  Therefore, it is important to supplement your body with digestive enzymes.
