Food Enzymes Capsules combine betaine HCl, pepsin, pancreatin, bromelain, papain, alpha amylase, lipase, bile salts and other digestive enzymes. The blend is designed to support the breakdown of protein, fat and carbohydrates, especially in heavier meals. Betaine HCl and pepsin are commonly used to support stomach-phase digestion, while pancreatin and lipase are more relevant once food moves further through the digestive tract.
Bromelain and papain are plant enzymes that help break down protein, and bile salts are included because bile plays an important role in fat digestion. That makes this type of product useful when rich meals, fatty foods or large portions tend to leave you feeling too full. Food Enzymes Capsules are more about helping you process the meal in front of you than about general gut maintenance.
