Solgar ® Digestive Enzymes, is a unique proprietary complex that helps support your digestive system and the absorption of your food. By taking 1-3 tablets of Solgar ® Digestive Enzymes a day, you are helping your body to digest the food you eat and absorb the nutrients you need. Your digestive system benefits from digestive enzymes that break down food into nutrients the body can absorb, and probiotics that maintain a balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. Your body produces multiple digestive enzymes to help break down the foods we eat, so that we can benefit from the nutrients they provide. Being lactose intolerant or having a sensitivity to lactose is one of the most common digestive issues and is thought to affect up to 75% of the world’s population.

An increasing number of people take digestive enzymes today, especially those with certain health conditions. This includes gastrointestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s, hypochlorhydria (having too little stomach acid), or pancreatic insufficiency (too little pancreatic enzymes). When your bowel movements are too slow, your small intestine may absorb too much water from your stool, resulting in constipation (and more time than you might want to spend in the bathroom). In contrast, bowel movements that are too fast may cause overly watery stools that are expelled before your body can absorb all the important nutrients you need.

When a food source contains both prebiotics and probiotics, the combination is sometimes called synbiotic. Foods that are synbiotic include cheese, kefir, certain types of yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi. Preventing symptoms of food intolerances, such as by breaking down difficult-to-digest proteins and sugars, like gluten, casein and lactose. Lactose malabsorption and intolerance: People with trouble digesting dairy may take OTC digestive enzymes like lactase to help prevent indigestion. Secondary lactose intolerance can also occur in people with IBD (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis) and other diseases like celiac.Lactase may be also helpful in these instances.
