Digestive Enzymes Ireland

What Are Digestive Enzymes?

Digestive enzymes are proteins that help break down food into nutrients your body can absorb. They are produced naturally in the pancreas, stomach and small intestine. As we age, natural enzyme production can decline, which is why many people choose to supplement.

Types of Digestive Enzymes

• Protease — breaks down proteins into amino acids
• Amylase — breaks down carbohydrates and starches
• Lipase — breaks down fats into fatty acids
• Lactase — breaks down lactose (milk sugar)
• Cellulase — breaks down cellulose (plant fibre)
• Bromelain — pineapple-derived enzyme, supports protein digestion

People who experience digestive discomfort after meals, those with occasional bloating or gas, and older adults may find digestive enzyme supplements helpful. Pat Coffey at The Honey Pot can advise on the right enzyme formula for your needs.
