Yes, do I really need digestive enzymes? That's a question that probably not many of us ask ourselves. We eat fats, carbohydrates, and proteins without even thinking about how they are broken down in our digestive system. If we don’t have enough enzymes or digestive enzymes we are setting ourselves up to diseases, imbalances, or obesity.

If your body needs enzymes; for example, to fight off a viral or bacterial attack, it must borrow enzymes from another system in your body. This is usually the digestive system since this system uses more enzymes than any other system in your body. Between 60 to 80 percent of your body’s energy is used by your digestive system making digestive enzymes important to your body.

Are they really the solution? Too much acid in the stomach doesn’t cause acid reflux. The sphincter between the stomach and esophagus relaxes at the wrong time. This is due to things such as stress, over eating and gall bladder problems. Drugs just mask the problem.

Do you have bouts of diarrhea and/or constipation How about abdominal pain? Then you possibly could be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. One cause of this disease is an over growth of Candida albicans. This is opportunistic yeast that can invade your colon or lower bowel caused by taking antibiotics. The antibiotics can’t discriminate between the bad bacteria and the good bacteria, which reside in your colon, and thus kill the good microflora. They are essential to digestion. They also produce enzymes and protect us from bacteria and viruses that invade our body. Probiotics; therefore, are a good adjunct to enzymes.
