While there are over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications for these "symptoms", often the "disease" is poor digestion. Often, poor digestion is a result of weak or absent enzymes, which help the body break down the foods we eat. One way to get the enzymes needed for healthy digestion, is by an enzyme supplement.

If you are one of the many, many people suffering from stomach discomforts, such as gas, bloating, heartburn, cramping, fatigue after eating a meal, cravings, or upset stomach you may experience improvements in these symptoms after only a few times of adding digestive enzymes to their diet, with a digestive enzyme supplement.

However, those suffering from more chronic stomach problems, such as acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IRS), or ulcers, may take longer to notice results, and these results will depend on the severity of their particular condition. Many people notice results within 2-3 weeks of taking digestive enzyme supplements according to the directions.

An adequate supply of enzymes in the body is essential to help it remain youthful and healthy. Some research has indicated that enzymes fight the aging process by increasing the blood supply to the skin, which delivers nutrients at the cellular level, while carrying away waste products which can make the skin look dull and wrinkled. This effect can also affect the functioning of other body organs and processes.
