Each category of food has an associated enzyme to support the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. These enzymes are made in the pancreas. Once the body recognizes the type of food being ingested it produces the corresponding enzyme to digest the food. Supplementing with a digestive enzyme can support the digestion process by adding enzymes to the body before they need to be produced, which stimulates further production of beneficial enzymes. Several protease types are added to the formulation to facilitate effective digestion. Xylanase is added for its specific ability to break down plant cell walls, a job usually done by gut bacteria, and can cause digestive upset for some individuals. By supplementing with xylanase, the Daily Digestive Enzyme stimulates bacterial production making digestion easier and more efficient. Lipase works to break down fats. Bromelain and papain both work to digest proteins. Gentian root, a traditional bitter herb, and artichoke, a natural choleretic, are added to stimulate the body's natural production of enzymes and bile. Bile plays an important role in emulsifying fatty acids and supporting the absorption of the constituent parts through the intestinal wall.
