Now Foods Optimum Digestive Systems contains a complete set of enzymes that are essential for the body to absorb and fully utilize food. Now Foods Optimal Digestive System contains a blend of non-GMO enzymes that help digest foods such as pulses and brassica vegetables.
Proper digestion is essential for our body to be able to optimally utilize the food we consume. For proper digestion, it is indispensable for the body to produce the necessary enzymes. Digestive enzymes break down foods such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats into small digestible particles. Some enzymes are used to break down proteins (known as proteases), others for carbohydrates (amylases) and fats (lipases). Proper digestion and absorption of proteins and fats is particularly important because of the intake of nutrients needed for general immune function, wound healing and maintenance of cellular vitality. The body's ability to produce enzymes declines with age, so digestive efficiency wanes.
NOW Optimal Digestive contains a non-genetically modified (non-GMO) blend of mushroom-derived enzymes that aid in the digestion of most foods. Controlled laboratory studies conducted by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO Nutrition and Foods Research) have proven that the vegetarian enzymes contained in NOW Foods Optimal Digestive System are effective across the entire pH range of the digestive tract and do not degrade when exposed to stomach acid.
