Enzymes for Better Digestion
By Dr. Gordon Chang, PhD
Dr. Gordon Chang holds a PhD in Physiology and Biomedical engineering from University of Toronto.
Let’s be realistic: How many adults today eat properly and regularly on daily basis? If your kids are still at home or you’re caring for your parents, you may end up sacrificing healthy eating to meet the needs of others. If you are single, it doesn’t mean you have any more time available. You might be skipping meals or snacking when you can, and you may eat too much to compensate. If you are an older adult –retired or not –regular healthy meals may be a challenge. To improve diet and digestion, consider supplementing with digestive enzymes to help improve proper metabolism and absorption of nutrients.
What are Digestive Enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are protein molecules normally produced in the gut by our bodies. These enzymes are responsible for the breakdown of complex foods, namely proteins, carbohydrates, fats and complex sugars, into their component parts, which can then be absorbed and utilized by our bodies. Proteins (e.g. meat) are broken down into simple amino acids. These amino acids can then be absorbed by our body and used in the production of very specific and complex proteins which are required by our bodies to function properly. Carbohydrates (e.g. pasta) are broken down into simple sugar (e.g. glucose) which is used to provide energy for the brain and muscles. Fats are also broken down into simple fatty acids that are used as blocks for cell walls and for energy.
Who Needs Helping Digestion?
Our Bodies produce these digestive enzymes naturally but as we grow older we produce less and less of these enzymes. It is a little-known fact that men generally produce less natural enzymes than women. If one has food intolerances or allergies, a lack of digestive enzymes can lead to more serious health issues. With a decreased ability to produce the quantity of digestive enzymes necessary to break down food, undigested food can be passed into the large intestine. The bacteria that normally live in the large intestine will eat this undigested food and cause gas, bloating, flatulence and intestinal pain. Supplementation with digestive enzymes will minimize the amount of undigested food reaching the large intestine, resulting in reduction in the amount of gas and toxins produced by the bacteria.
What Kind of Enzymes?
The kind of enzymes required can depend on one’s specific health needs. Generally, an Ultra Digestive Enzyme formula that is capable of helping one digest a wide range of foods (proteins, starches, complex sugars/ sucrose, fat, milk and cellulose) would be best. An Ultra Digestive Enzyme formula eliminates the need to purchase a variety of enzymes, sold separately. Look for enzymes that have a higher potency and that are active over a very wide PH range (from an acid PH found in the stomach to an alkaline PH found in the small intestine). More importantly, the enzymes should have their maximum activity in and around the normal human body temperature (37⁰C). If after eating you notice an increase in bloating, belching, flatulence or other digestive disturbances, consider taking natural digestive enzymes with your meals to improve proper nutrients absorption – and your social life!
