Digestive Enzymes with Soothing Herbs
The human body produces around 22 different types of digestive enzymes, each of which acts on a different type of food.
Our digestive enzymes are complex proteins that are found in the digestive tract. They are secreted by different glands in the body, including the salivary glands, the stomach and pancreas glands as well as the glands in the small intestines. They each have specific sites of action, including the mouth, the stomach, the duodenum and the jejunum.
The number of digestive enzymes that are produced by our bodies decreases as we age, this can actually be by as much as 30% in most adults over 50. Caffeine and alcohol intake, pregnancy, illness, stress and anxiety, extreme weather and exercise can all take their toll on our enzyme reserves.
Fortunately, digestive enzymes are also found naturally in fruits, vegetables, herbs and other raw foods.
