What Is DigeZyme®? Understanding Digestive Enzymes and Why They Matter

If you've ever looked at the Floraelle ingredient list, you may have wondered:

If my body already produces digestive enzymes, why would I take them in a supplement?

It's a fair question.

To understand the role of digestive enzymes, it helps to first understand what they actually do.

What Are Digestive Enzymes?

Digestive enzymes are specialized proteins that help break down the food you eat into smaller components that your body can absorb and use.

Every time you eat, your digestive system releases enzymes to help process nutrients from food.

Different enzymes perform different jobs.

Some help break down proteins.

Others help break down fats, carbohydrates, lactose, or plant fibers.

Without digestive enzymes, your body would have a much harder time extracting nutrients from food.

In many ways, digestive enzymes are the workforce behind digestion.

If We Produce Digestive Enzymes Naturally, Why Supplement Them?

Your body naturally produces digestive enzymes throughout life.

However, factors such as aging, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and individual differences can influence digestive function.

This is one reason digestive enzyme supplements are often used as part of a digestive wellness routine.

Rather than replacing your body's natural enzymes, digestive enzyme supplements are designed to complement the digestive process.

What Is DigeZyme®?

DigeZyme® is a patented multi-enzyme complex that contains five digestive enzymes:

Amylase

Helps break down carbohydrates.

Protease

Helps break down proteins.

Lipase

Helps break down fats.

Lactase

Helps break down lactose found in dairy products.

Cellulase

Helps break down plant fiber.

Together, these enzymes support the breakdown of a wide variety of foods commonly found in everyday meals.

Why Floraelle Uses DigeZyme®

At Floraelle, every ingredient must earn its place.

We chose DigeZyme® because it provides broad-spectrum digestive enzyme support and has been evaluated in published clinical research.

Floraelle provides 150 mg of DigeZyme® per daily serving.

This wasn't selected randomly.

Published clinical research on DigeZyme® evaluated the ingredient at a daily dose of 150 mg. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants receiving DigeZyme® reported significant improvements in several measures of digestive comfort compared with placebo. 

We chose to include the amount that has been studied rather than simply adding a token quantity for marketing purposes.

Because when it comes to supplements, we believe consumers deserve more than impressive-sounding ingredient lists.

They deserve meaningful amounts, transparent labeling, and ingredients included for a reason.

No proprietary blends.

No hidden quantities.

No guesswork.

The Bottom Line

DigeZyme® is a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme complex that helps break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates, lactose, and plant fiber during digestion.

Floraelle provides 150 mg per daily serving. The same daily amount evaluated in published clinical research on DigeZyme®.

Because transparency shouldn't be optional.

It should be standard.
