HAYA Digest

We naturally produce our own digestive enzymes from various aspects of our intestine including salivary glands, stomach, liver, and pancreas. This production can be disrupted by various things like antibiotics, gastroenteritis, pancreatic and gall bladder disorders. Some of us are born with ineffective enzymes either in quantity or quality making us unable to digest certain foods and produce excessive flatulence from fermentation.  Normally digestive enzymes can break down proteins and carbohydrates and lipids, and their supplementation may play a role in the management of digestive disorders, from lactose intolerance to cystic fibrosis (Laniro et al., 2016). Digestive enzymes are catalysts to energy production hence may help in chronic fatigue related to poor digestion.  As we age, we tend to produce fewer enzymes making digestion less efficient (Roxas, 2008).  For that reason, it is important to include this natural supplement for maturing adults.
