Bromelain
Description:Bromelain is a group of proteolytic enzymes derived from pineapples. It has been traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory and protein-digesting properties. Some research suggests it may have potential benefits for conditions such as allergic rhinitis, burns, cancer, diabetic foot ulcers, and postoperative pain, among others. However, the evidence for its effectiveness in these areas is lacking, and more research is needed. It is important to note that bromelain should not be confused with other protein-digesting enzymes. Pregnant and lactating individuals should avoid using bromelain due to insufficient information about its safety in these populations.

Papain
Description:Papain is a proteolytic enzyme that is extracted from the papaya fruit. It is also known as papaya proteinase. Proteolytic enzymes are enzymes that break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Papain specifically breaks down proteins by hydrolyzing the peptide bonds that link amino acids together. Papain is used in a variety of applications, including food production, medicine, and biotechnology. Medically, papain can be used to remove dead tissue from wounds and to treat certain skin conditions. It has also been used to treat sports injuries, such as sprains and strains. Additionally, it is a common ingredient in digestive enzyme dietary supplements to aid in the digestion of proteins.

- Sixteen unique digestive enzymes to support digestive health
Supports healthy digestive function
promotes nutrient absorption
May assist with gastrointestinal discomfort that can occur after eating
What is Digestive Enzymes?
Digestive Enzymes is a proprietary blend of 16 different enzymes that support digestive health by aiding in the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; and, in turn, the absorption of nutrients. Aging, illness, and stress may reduce the number of digestive enzymes produced by the body, causing incomplete digestion and unwanted side effects such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, and flatulence. Supplementing with Digestive Enzymes can make up for these temporary deficiencies and help ensure your body's ability to get the most out of the food you eat and maintain healthy function.
Key Features
Promotes the healthy breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats with a blend of multiple enzyme sources
Supports the body's ability to more efficiently absorb nutrients
Promotes regularity through healthy digestive support
