Digezyme Digestive Enzyme Blend Amylase

DigeZyme is a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes, including amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase. These enzymes are typically derived from microbial fermentation (fungi and bacteria) and are then purified. Amylase specifically breaks down starches into simpler sugars.

Manufacturers add digestive enzyme blends like DigeZyme to foods and supplements to aid in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. It is often found in protein powders, meal replacements, and digestive health products. The goal is to support the body's natural digestive processes.

Digestive enzymes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They play a natural role in digestion, breaking down food components. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various digestive enzymes. While generally considered safe for supporting digestion, there are no specific health claims approved by the FDA for this blend. Evidence suggests they can help with nutrient absorption for some individuals.
