Digestive enzymes are essential for the breakdown and assimilation, both of the food we eat and the supplements we take. Generally, most people become enzyme-deficient sometime during their 40's or 50's. Enzymes are particularly important for people with osteoporosis and/or digestive problems. We agree with the statement that "It's not what you eat, it's what you absorb."

Super Enzyme Capsules are a comprehensive, wide-spectrum blend of enzymes to support healthy digestive function. Bromelain, Ox Bile, Pancreatin and Papain have been formulated to optimize the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and protein for maximum assimilation. In this formula, the Pancreatin and Ox Bile are enteric coated and provide the release of these ingredients in the intestines. The other enzyme ingredients are not enteric coated and dissolve in the stomach.

Super Enzymes are a NOW Foods formula recommended by Dr. Balch, who is a medical doctor and co-author of the popular book Prescription for Nutritional Healing. This formula also tests very well with electrodermal screening (a sophisticated electronic method of testing body functions and the body's response to supplements.) 90 capsules, take 1-2 with each meal.*
