Love Carbohydrates? Here’s Why You Need Digestive Enzymes!

Whether it's a serving of your favorite tapsilog, a warm pandesal with cheese, or a comforting bowl of goto, carbohydrates are a part of your daily meal. But have you ever wondered what happens after your first bite? How does your body break down all that food? It is all thanks to the digestive enzymes that your body produces.

Want to know more about them? Read on to find out more about their benefits and how Enzymax Forte^® can help.

1. They Help Improve Nutrient Absorption
   Digestive enzymes help your body turn food into energy. When you eat starchy foods like bread or rice, an enzyme called pancreatic amylase breaks them down into smaller sugars your body can use, like glucose.¹ This process makes it easier to digest food and helps your body absorb essential nutrients.
    
2. They Help Turn Food into Fuel
   When your body breaks down carbohydrates into sugars efficiently, it helps regulate your hunger and fullness signals.^2,3 This means you're more likely to feel satisfied after meals and less likely to overeat or snack when you’re not really hungry.
   
   But that’s not all — after the enzymes break down starches into glucose, any extra glucose your body doesn’t need right away gets stored as glycogen. Think of glycogen as a backup battery for your body. It's stored mainly in your liver and muscles and can be used later when your body needs more energy, like during exercise, physical activity, or even just getting through a busy day.⁴
    
3. They Help Reduce Bloating and Gas
   Ever feel super full or bloated after eating? That uncomfortable, heavy feeling might be because your body’s having a hard time breaking down starchy foods like bread, pasta, or potatoes.⁵ When these foods aren’t digested properly, they can hang around in your gut and start to ferment, which can cause gas, bloating, and an upset stomach.⁶ Fortunately, digestive enzymes help prevent this by breaking down carbs early in the digestive process.¹

Incorporating Enzymes into Your Routine!

The next time you dive into a hearty, starchy meal, take a moment to thank digestive enzymes. They work hard to help you break down carbs and get all the energy from every bite!

To naturally boost your enzyme levels, include enzyme-rich foods in your diet. Fruits like bananas, mangoes, and apples are excellent choices, along with starchy foods like potatoes and sweet potatoes.⁷ Fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi also offer a beneficial amount of enzymes, particularly amylase.⁷

If you’ve been struggling with digestion or feeling sluggish after eating starchy foods, it might be worth checking in with your physician. Talking to your doctor could be a good step as they may advise you to take digestive enzyme supplements.
