Vegetarian Enzyme
Digestive enzymes
DESCRIPTION
Vegetarian Enzyme tablets, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, are dietary supplements of vegetable-source
enzymes (suitable for vegetarians) which are specific for the digestion of starches, proteins, fats, and cellulose,
a dietary fiber.
FUNCTIONS
The digestive system breaks down a nutrient that is consumed as food, converting them into small molecules
that cells, tissues and organs use as energy and for metabolic functions in the body. Digestive enzymes are
crucial to the body’s absorption and optimal utilization of food and its nutrients. The normal aging process and
related health conditions can decrease the production of digestive enzymes, resulting in gastrointestinal
distress. Plant enzymes are functional over a wide range of pH levels, making them ideal for aiding digestive
function in the stomach and small intestine.† Vegetarian Enzyme provides catalytically active enzymes specific
for the digestion of starches, proteins, fats, and cellulose. †
INDICATIONS
Vegetarian Enzyme tablets may be a useful nutritional adjunct for vegetarians who wish to supplement their
diets with digestive enzymes that do not come from animals.
