Dear Dr. Gendron,

I try to eat very healthy and cook with all the proper oils and I still get indigestion. Could you tell me what the problem might be? Barbara

Dear Barbara,

Buying all natural foods and using cooking techniques designed to preserve nutrient integrity is a great start to eating healthy. But in the absence of optimal digestion and adequate enzymes, cells won’t get all the nutrients these foods can provide. Poor digestion affects energy levels, the body’s ability to heal and repair, and general well-being. The body cannot use nutrients from foods unless they are properly digested.

Since digestive challenges can center around enzyme dysfunction, adding additional enzymes through supplements may assist the body’s digestion and contribute to overall health.

Enzyme supplements supply additoinal enzymes that may be missing from the body due to natural dysfunction, aging, health challenges, or emotional stress. They help in the absorption of key vitamins, mineral s, and nutrients. They also help with digestion of food after a large meal. Enzymes also help digest food that hasn’t been chewed properly.

Try this enzyme supplement:

Remember, enzymes that aid digestion should be taken immediately before or after your meal.

Thanks for the question Barbara.
