Probiotics & Digestive Enzymes

Probiotics & Digestive Enzymes have been proven to have positive effect on health. Probiotics are living microorganisms that naturally occur in the intestinal microflora and are friendly - beneficial bacteria. There are several species, such as Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, Enterococci, Escherichia and Saccharomyces (yeasts). They contribute significantly to better immunity not only preventively, but also in case of health problems and infections. They promote digestion, protect mucous membranes, help diarrhea, constipation and even low cholesterol. Digestive enzymes are biologically active substances produced by the digestive system, which play an important role in the chemical process of food digestion. They work as organic catalysts (accelerators) decomposing large food molecules (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) into smaller units (amino acids, fatty acids, glucose) that the body can absorb.
