WHY YOU NEED IT
Every time you eat, your body prompts the release of digestive enzymes that break down the food into a usable form that can be absorbed into the blood. If you’re eating a hamburger, for example, your body is ingesting three major sources of calories—carbohydrates, protein and fat. In response, your pancreas must release three different enzymes to break it all down.*

Amylase turns the starch from the hamburger bun into glucose, protease grinds up the meat into free amino acids (the tiniest building blocks of protein), and lipase breaks the fat in the meat into small molecules that can be absorbed. All three enzymes come from the pancreas and are shunted into the small intestine right as you start your meal. In fact, the gurgling noise you may hear in your stomach occasionally can be attributed to the release of these enzymes. And the saliva automatically generated by your body when you see food contains amylase, which starts breaking down the starch right in your mouth. Once everything is broken down, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and then distributed to every cell in the body.*

When these enzymes first became available, they were sold almost exclusively to patients with very poor digestion, such as those with cystic fibrosis (Suarez F. Digestive Diseases and Sciences 1999; 44:1317-1321). However, in recent years, their use among the general population has increased. More and more individuals who occasionally experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort are discovering that adding enzymes to their regimen is the best first line of treatment. Natural enzymes like those found in Inner Balance Digestive Enzymes are perfectly safe and have proven to reduce gas, bloating and sensations of premature fullness in the cystic fibrosis patients who used them.*
