Warnings:
Precautions: To get the most from Udo's Choice Digestive Enzyme Blend, open capsules and mix them into food cooled to body temperature. Alternately, take capsules during the meal. Heat destroys enzymes, so avoid mixing directly into hot food. Take however many capsules lead to improvement (usually 1-4 capsules per meal: some people may need up to 10 capsules). Results may show within a few days, and should be noticeable within 4 weeks.
Notes: What are digestive enzymes?
Without enzymes, we could not exist. Our body's reactions would be too slow for life to be possible because enzymes are involved in almost everything that happens in the body. The human body makes more than 3,000 kinds of enzymes that speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions and save energy. Digestive enzymes, which are only a few of the thousands of known enzymes, break down the foods we eat into basic building blocks that our body then absorbs and reassembles to build cells, tissues, organs, glands, and body systems.

Where do digestive enzymes come from?
They come from two main sources:

• Internal: The digestive system secretes a few digestive enzymes in the mouth and stomach, but most are secreted by the pancreas and small intestine.
• External: Foods that are raw, sprouted, or soaked, or supplements of digestive enzymes from plant or animal sources.

During digestion, digestive enzymes from raw foods (or enzyme supplements) work cooperatively with digestive enzymes from the digestive tract. Most of the digestive enzyme action initiated by our body starts once food enters the small intestine. On the other hand, digestive enzymes from raw foods or supplements can begin the process of digestion as soon as, or even before, food enters our mouth, providing a valuable jump-start to the digestive process.

Why do we need Digestive Enzymes?
No matter what we eat, all our foods are made from proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and a few other complex molecules. They each require different enzymes to break them down into amino acids, fatty acids, glucose, and other basic building blocks. Protease digests proteins; lipase digests fats; amylase digests starch; etc...

Digestive enzymes help to

• Break down, so we can absorb, the nutrients we need to build cells and bodies
• Reduce bloating, gas, and heart burn that result from poor digestion
• Digest proteins, poor digestion of which causes many health problems
• Decrease inflammation, "leaky gut", allergies due to poorly digested foods, migraine headaches, growing pains, asthma, and others
• Supplement the declining supply of digestive enzymes as we age
• Allow the immune system to better deal with virus, yeast (candida), fungus, bacteria, and cancer by freeing it from involvement in the digestive tract
• Improve circulation, rework scars, improve healing, and help with all health problems caused by incomplete digestion of foods due to insufficient digestive enzymes

What makes Udo's Choice Digestive Enzyme Blend unique?
Not all plant enzyme supplements are created equal! Many were originally developed to help preserve food for storage and shipping. Udo's Choice Digestive Enzyme Blend was designed specifically for humans and has the highest activity in the temperature and pH ranges of the human digestive tract.
Ingredients: Each capsule contains- 126 mg of pure plant enzyme blend from extracts of Aspergillus Oryzae, Trichoderma Viride, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Aspergillus Niger and Barley Malt in a base of beet root fiber powder, magneesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin in a vegetarian capsule made of water and hypromellose(USP).
