When the food we eat is not properly digested and absorbed we can develop symptoms of nutritional deficiency. To use the phrase 'you are what you eat' is not strictly true; 'you are what you absorb' is probably more correct. A significant proportion of the nutrients in our diet never get absorbed into the body, but by maintaining a clean and healthy digestive system absorption of these nutrients can be improved! Digestive enzymes and supporting nutrients help break food down in the digestive tract - starting in the mouth as food is eaten and continued through the stomach and intestines. The stomach produces three main types of enzymes; these are generalised and collectively called: Lipase, for fat digestion; Protease, for protein digestion; Amylase for carbohydrate digestion.
