Digestive Enzymes
What is Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes?
Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes is a full-spectrum high potency digestive enzyme blend created to complement and support the body’s own digestive capacities. Each capsule provides the body with enzymes designed to optimally aid the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates present in cooked and raw food. The formula provides the support of alpha- galactosidase and beta-glucanase to break down vegetables, beans and grains, and enzymes such as glucoamylase and invertase to assist with the digestion of carbohydrates. In addition, this complete formula contains beneficial bacteria to uniquely promote optimal intestinal health.
How does it work?
Digestive enzymes are produced by the pancreas and secreted into the duodenum (upper small intestine) where proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are broken down prior to absorption. The body’s capacity to produce enzymes may decline with age. Moreover, stress and other unhealthy lifestyle factors may impact enzyme production. Supplementation with the enzymes in Best Digestive Enzymes supports replenishment of the body’s enzyme levels, promoting healthy digestion and delivery of vital nutrients to the body. Maintenance of healthy digestion not only helps with occasional gastrointestinal discomfort, but also supports the very integrity of the intestinal mucosa. Additionally, enzymes may enhance healthy bacterial balance in the bowel by lessening the accumulation of undigested foods in the large intestine.
Why should I take Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes?
Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes offers a complete set of enzymes to support your body’s digestion of carbohydrates, fiber, protein and fats. This is a comprehensive set of enzymes that include: Support for Carbohydrate and Fiber Digestion – Alpha-galactosidase – An enzyme that facilitates the breakdown of carbohydrates such as raffinose and stachyose. This enzyme is especially helpful in supporting the digestion of raw vegetables and beans. – Amylase – This enzyme functions to break down carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen, a storage form of glucose. – Beta-glucanase – An important enzyme that facilitates the digestion of beta-linked glucose bonds associated with whole grains such as barley, oats and wheat. – Cellulase – This enzyme helps free the nutrients found in both fruits and vegetables by breaking down cellulose, a plant fiber. – Glucoamylase – This enzyme complements the function of hemicellulase by breaking down polysaccharides from plants. – Hemicellulase – This enzyme assists in the breakdown of carbohydrates and is most useful for enhancing the efficiency of polysaccharide digestion from plant foods. – Invertase – This enzyme facilitates the breakdown of carbohydrates and is especially effective at helping to digest sucrose, common table sugar. – Lactase – This enzyme is necessary for the proper utilization and digestion of lactose, the predominant sugar found in milk and other dairy products. – Phytase – This enzyme breaks down plant carbohydrates and is especially helpful at breaking down phytic acid found in leafy vegetables. Because this enzyme breaks down phytic acid, it frees the minerals in plants and aids in their absorption. – Xylanase – This enzyme is a sub-type of hemicellulase and functions to break down soluble fiber from food sources. Support for Protein Digestion – Bromelain – An enzyme that is derived from pineapple, this nutrient also facilitates the digestion of proteins. Bromelain has also been associated with a wide range of diverse health benefits of its own. – Papain – This enzyme is derived from papaya and serves to enhance the digestion of proteins, facilitating nutrient absorption. – Protease – This enzyme supports the digestion of protein, breaking them into absorbable units of amino acids, the building blocks for the body’s regenerative purposes. Support for Fat Digestion – Lipase – The main enzyme that functions to break down lipids and improve fat utilization. In this capacity, it supports the function of the gall bladder. Beneficial Micro-Organisms Bacillus subtilis – Supplementing with this important probiotic organism promotes a healthy bacterial balance in the intestines. Probiotic organisms have been researched for their ability to support healthy immune function, efficient digestion and the general health and well-being of the digestive tract.

By far the BEST digestive enzyme we have found so far for our vegan diet! We take it every night before dinner, and if the meal is particularly “airy”, we will take another one halfway through the meal, as a precaution :). So far so good with our summer bean and veggie meals. Hopefully it will be as effective this winter, when the weather for brassicas (broccoli, cabbage, etc.) turns.

I received the item. The delivery guy in Slovenia was very friendly. The package was not damaged. I am very happy with the item. It is used by me and the whole family. We are all very excited. I recommend the purchase. I will be ordering for other relatives. The quality and ingredients are okay.

take them in turn with Now Foods Super Enzyme. According to the ingredient list, the Doctor’s Best product has a better composition for meals containing a lot of meat. So definitely an advantage for those who live more on the carnivore or keto side of the diet. I wondered if I could actually digest all the meat I eat. I take one per meat only meal, never tried more than that. All in all, my instincts like them and I think they make a difference. I don’t need to eat as much as some people report on these kinds of diets. Not when I take them anyway. And I stay full longer. Digestion is good too. So they get a push from me. Will buy again.

have a problem digesting fats, beans, gluten, carbs and sugar. Take this digestion enzyme to help 1) the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates found in cooked and raw foods. It helps break down vegetables, beans and grains, 2) enzymes such as glucoamylase and invertase to help digest sugars. It helps digest food more efficiently to maximize absorption and help reduce stomach discomfort, my occasional gas, bloating and indigestion. I’ve been taking it for 3 years and I’m enjoying it a lot. Please like if this review helps you

I’ve been using this enzyme for years: it’s a comprehensive enzyme that includes DPP-IV, the gluten digest enzyme. This product has a great price point and is NON GMO.

I have tummy issues and this is a real blessing. I take this supplement to help with indigestion.

My meals consist mostly of vegetables and protein, and besides the enzymes that help break down protein and carbs (which other digestive enzymes also have), this product also contains additional enzymes to help break down fiber especially. vegetables. I feel the difference especially when consuming cruciferous vegetables (which I love), I feel less bloated and gassy. The positive point is that these capsules do not contain ingredients of animal origin.
Ecosupplements customer (verified owner) –
The capsules are medium in size and easy to swallow. They don’t have any particular taste, but they give off a slight odor which is not unpleasant. I find this product quite effective. It’s definitely better than digestive enzymes from other brands. Still, I think “NOW Foods” enzymes are a bit more beneficial.

Amylase perfectly breaks down foods rich in carbohydrates (eg potatoes, rice), protease, bromelain (derived from pineapple), papain helps digest proteins, lipase for the breakdown of lipids, etc., these capsules contain everything you need for high quality digestion! Therefore, if you suffer from bloating, a feeling of heaviness, indigestibility of food, then these enzymes will definitely suit you. They literally work within 30-40 minutes of taking! I recommend to everyone and I will order it again and again!

Only used a few times so far with extra fibrous meals like raw kale salad, lentils etc. It does seem to help these things be broken down/digested better.

bought the Doctors Best HCL and it works very well and of high quality so I am ordering the digestive enzymes to help with my intestinal problem. Its composition of ingredients works very well with my stomach, after two doses I took in one day, I could feel the difference in my stomach and my belly fat was visibly slightly reduced. I’m amazed that it works right away. I will continue to use this brand to see if it helps my bloating problem. Crossed fingers.
