Digest-Ease/Digest-Aid will stimulate the body s ability to secrete more digestive enzymes (HCl, bile, pancreatic enzymes, pepsin, lipase, and saliva) to increase the catabolic or breakdown phase of digestion. This makes absorption more possible. This formula actually makes the body secrete its own digestive enzymes if deficient vs. taking digestive enzymes by themselves. The goal is to get the body to function normally and to not rely on external enzymes. It can be used on a situation by situation basis or on an as needed basis for meals that cause indigestion.
