What Are Probiotics? Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that support the natural balance of organisms in your gut.

But they\u2019re not a complete digestive solution on their own. What Are Digestive Enzymes? Digestive enzymes are proteins your body naturally produces to break down the food you eat. Each type of enzyme targets a specific nutrient: Amylase \u2013 breaks down carbs Protease \u2013 breaks down proteins Lipase \u2013 breaks down fats Lactase \u2013 breaks down lactose (milk sugar) Benefits of Digestive Enzymes: Help prevent indigestion, bloating, and gas Improve nutrient absorption Support those with enzyme deficiencies (like lactose intolerance or IBS) Help break down hard-to-digest foods If you often feel sluggish or uncomfortable after eating, digestive enzymes could be your body\u2019s missing link.
